Pamela Anderson Just Made the Case for Pink and Green on the Red Carpet

After a decade of unwavering loyalty to head-to-toe black, I’ve found myself unexpectedly drawn to colour of late. Perhaps it’s the promise of spring, finally within reach after a seemingly endless winter, or a visceral response to the general bleakness of the world right now—or, more likely, a combination of the two. The fact that the Spring/Summer 2026 runways were awash with striking, mood-lifting shades and fresh-feeling colour combinations has certainly had an impact, too—but whatever the reason, I’m clearly not alone in my change of heart.

Over the weekend, Pamela Anderson offered the most elegant endorsement yet, stepping onto the Berlinale International Film Festival red carpet in a pink and green Carolina Herrera look that served as a powerful reminder of colour’s emotional impact—while quietly challenging the long-held notion that certain shades should never be worn together.

Pairing pink with green is hardly an obvious or ‘safe’ choice. Both colours possess a distinct visual strength, and when worn together, the effect is undeniably striking—particularly in a fashion landscape still dominated by ‘quiet luxury’ restraint and neutrals. Yet it is precisely this tension that makes the combination so compelling.

Seen everywhere from flowers and foliage to recent runway collections by Erdem, Prada and Dries Van Noten, pink and green share a natural harmony that feels both vibrant and balanced—and that is instinctively joy-sparking to boot.

Pamela Anderson’s red carpet ensemble served as a timely reminder of this synergy—not as a costume-like statement, but as something altogether more wearable. In the right tones, and with the right confidence, it’s a pairing that translates just as effortlessly to everyday dressing as it does to major red carpet moments. And given the current mood, this feels like the perfect moment to follow in Anderson’s footsteps and embrace colour with a sense of optimism—and perhaps a little playfulness, too.
