Dua Lipa Wore the Underrated Color Trend That's Just as Versatile as Black

Leave it to Dua Lipa to make us rethink our entire wardrobe for 2024. The singer recently wore a gorgeous dark-brown Tom Ford gown while in Jaipur, India, standing out among a wave of little black dresses flooding our Instagram feeds.

Although wearing head-to-toe neutrals is nothing new, opting for a rich chocolatey brown instead of beige, white, or black somehow looks and feels very fashion-forward. It’s decadent without being over-the-top, and it can be dressed up with metallic accessories for a bit of added sparkle or made simple for everyday wear with black accessories like boots, belts, and bags.

Most of these designs come in black, too, but if you choose a length, fabric, and neckline that’s right for you, your winter wardrobe will be full of little brown dresses in no time.
