Gwyneth Paltrow wears the cool summer 2026 color pairing trend

One of the easiest steps you can take to get great outfits is to experiment with colors. Fashion people and well-dressed celebrities are well aware of this, and often experiment with unexpected color pairings with great success. With the popularity and abundance of primary colors (and colors in general) this season bold In particular, the colors worn together on the trend-setting runways of Prada and Celine (among others) for 2026, we’re seeing a lot of clashing colors so far this year. And Gwyneth Paltrow just wore one that’s particularly noteworthy: red and sky blue.

For the momentous occasion of her daughter Apple Martin’s graduation from Vanderbilt University last week, Paltrow opted to wear a red jacket from her eponymous brand Gwynn over a blue Tory Burch poplin tank midi dress, paired with red Manolo Blahnik heeled sandals. The color combination looked nice and forward-looking, and even a little flashy. The clashing combination of bright poppy red and cool light blue will look stunning in the sun this summer, and can be worn as subtly as a pair of red ballet flats with jeans and a sky blue tee.
