The 7 Best Yellow Dresses, Ever

It was a slow start to spring in many parts of the country. But luckily for us red-carpet watchers, the stars have brought plenty of sunshine to recent events. The beautiful, bright dresses at Cannes reminded us what a splash a yellow dress can make, and we started traveling down the (yellow-brick) road to remember how many celebs have stunned in the hue. Take a look back with us, and remember: the color is perfect for summer weddings and events.

Amal did the impossible—she outshone George—in an Atelier Versace gown at Cannes earlier this month. 

The Trolls star also chose a yellow dress—this one in a marigold hue—for her appearance at Cannes. (Insert pitch-perfect-style pun here.)

At the 2007 Oscars, Williams stepped out to celebrate Brokeback Mountain in this saffron dress that's as indelible as the film.

Earlier this year, Alicia nabbed an Oscar in this custom gown from the French fashion house.

Who could forget Reese's bright-yellow moment at the 2007 Golden Globes? The star debuted a new hairstyle that year, and—in an unusual step for her—rocked a short dress.

The 2001 Oscars was the same event that saw Bjork wearing a giant swan around her neck—but this classically glamorous look still managed to stand out.

Costume designer Karen Patch created this custom look for Kate's charater Andie in the 2003 film. Spoiler alert: She did not lose the guy.
