If 2025 was all about vibrant reds and electric blues, and 2024 belonged to latte nudes, it seems like 2026 is crowning apple green as its reigning colour.
The shade is everywhere, from red carpets to film festivals, couture gowns to front-row street style and even in shaadi looks. It’s fresh, zesty, photogenic and has that instant dopamine energy that Gen Z loves.
Here’s how our favourite stars have been wearing the vibrant shade and why you should have it in your wardrobe too!
