From brown to burgundy, most color trends we’re seeing everywhere this fall were pretty easy to predict… but not all. Yellow is the most unexpected color we’re seeing everywhere this season, and here are five stars who brought the sunshine to the red carpet in recent weeks.

Simone Ashley

Butter yellow became a huge hit earlier this year, and Simone Ashley welcomed this trend with open arms at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards in Jacquemus’s halter gown.

Beyoncé

Queen B also attended this event wearing yellow. She opted for a Sergio Hudson top and paired it with a dramatic silk skirt and a statement belt.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph

Da’Vine Joy Randolph brought this trend to the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in a dramatic hooded gown with asymmetrical sleeves by Sophie Couture.

Joey King

Yellow dresses were trending at this year’s Academy Museum Gala, and Joey King was one of the stars on the front lines of this trend. She hit the red carpet in a Carolina Herrera yellow ballgown with a black halter-neck top.

Nicole Richie 

Nicole Richie also looked like a ray of sunshine at the Academy Museum Gala after hitting the red carpet in a mellow yellow Rochas dress with exaggerated sleeves and an angular neckline.
