How Rihanna Does “Neutrals”

Hot pink is one of those colors you typically throw on for a special occasion. It hasn't really reached that wear-everywhere level — until now. As designers like Preen and Chanel showcased on the summer runways, the bright shade is proving to be the standout hue of the season. And, Rihanna drove the look home last night in NYC with this sub for a classic LBD.

If you really think about it, this iteration is just as versatile as any other neutral dress in your closet. Throw it on and you can pair just about any other color with it, as RiRi showed us here with her white, strappy heels. While it may be tough to give your traditional neutrals a break, we're going to challenge you to try fiery fuchsia the next time you reach for black or gray. And, to convince you further, we rounded up six inspired dresses (including RiRi's exact style) for your shopping pleasure ahead. Think pink, people.
