Blake Lively, who is known for her bold, hot pink lip gloss, is setting a new fashion trend this winter. You read it right, hot pink, the color that is associated with summer popsicles, sunsets and ice cream, is making an explosive statement in winter.

Why should winter be limited to the expected shades when you can paint in “loud luxurious” ones? Blake Lively’s latest Instagram post is a testament of this philosophy. She dazzles with a hot pink outfit that is as bright as the Rockefeller tree lights.

Lively’s look brings a breath fresh air to a season where many people stick with the safe and subtle. Her hot pink lip color is the star, a bold statement that dares you to notice. This is a color usually reserved for summer, but here it reminds us that glamour knows no seasons.

What does it take for you to pull off a look so daring? Confidence, a little whimsy and a willingness break the rules are required. Lively’s makeup was flawlessly executed. Her lips were defined in a hot-pink so striking that it could have been straight out of Barbie’s make-up kit. The rest of her skin glows with a luminosity to complement the bold lip. Her cheeks are also touched with a touch of pink blush.

But the glamour does not stop there. Lively’s Valentino mini-dress is a match in fashion heaven. It combines a tight top with a voluminous skirt of pink fur. The look is as luxurious as it is playful, and the emerald accessories add a touch to holiday sparkle.

How does Lively make an unexpected shade work in winter? By embracing monochromatic trends and running with them. Every element of her outfit is a variation of hot pink, from her lipstick to heels. It’s a lesson on committing to a bold style choice.

Take a cue this winter from Lively, and dare to do something different. Let’s paint lips in colors that make our hearts sing and smile, even if it’s not the “usual shades” for the season.

Why not join Blake Lively’s hot pink revolution? Who says winter cannot be a season for bold fashion and bright lipsticks? It’s time for us to break the mold and challenge the status quo.
