8 colours we're loving this summer
The spring/summer 2025 runways painted a vivid picture of the season's mood through an unexpectedly soothing yet vibrant colour palette. Gone are the harsh neons of seasons past – 2025 welcomes a sophisticated spectrum of wearable hues that range from creamy neutrals to zesty brights. Here are the seven key colours that will define summer 2025 fashion, each bringing its own unique charm to your seasonal wardrobe. Butter Yellow 1/3 Jacquemus La Robe Vela Flounce Maxi Dress, Dhs5,887 This pale, creamy yellow has emerged as the season's most versatile neutral, replacing traditional beige in designers' collections. Seen everywhere from Chanel's elegant suits to Zimmermann's flowing dresses, butter yellow works equally well for daytime tailoring and evening gowns. Its soft golden undertones make it flattering across skin tones, while its neutral quality allows for easy pairing with everything from white denim to chocolate brown separates. Mocha Mousse 1/3 Prada Triangle-logo cropped jacket, Dhs8,700 Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025 makes a strong case for brown as the new black. Designers like Max Mara and Prada showcased the depth and sophistication of chocolate brown in luxurious linen dresses, tailored coats, and buttery leather accessories. This shade brings warmth to summer dressing while maintaining an urban edge, perfect for everything from office wear to weekend outfits when paired with lighter neutrals or bright citrus tones. Ballet Pink 1/3 Bottega Veneta Andiamo intrecciato leather tote, Dhs21,250 Moving away from the bold pinks of previous seasons, 2025 introduces a more delicate, romantic pink reminiscent of ballet slippers and rose petals. Alaïa and Miu Miu demonstrated how this whisper-soft hue can look modern and sophisticated rather than saccharine. The key is in its subtle blue undertones that keep it from feeling too sweet, making it ideal for everything from tailored suiting to ethereal eveningwear. Aperol Orange 1/3 Louis Vuitton Monogram Fil Coupé Shirt Dress, Dhs13,600 For those who crave color, designers offered the perfect solution in this juicy, cocktail-inspired orange. Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton showed how this vibrant shade can feel both playful and polished. Unlike previous seasons' neon oranges, this version has a slightly muted quality that makes it more wearable, especially when balanced with neutral tones like beige or white. It's the ultimate hue for making a statement while still feeling appropriate for daytime. Icy Blue 1/3 Tom Ford Georgette maxi dress, Dhs19,085 Blue takes on a frosty, ethereal quality for summer 2025. Chloé and Prabal Gurung used this pale, icy tone to create looks that felt both fresh and sophisticated. The color works particularly well in the season's light-as-air fabrics, from sheer overlays to flowing silk dresses. Its cool undertones make it a perfect choice for hot summer days, offering a visual cooling effect that's both stylish and practical. Spring Green 1/2 Victoria Beckham Asymmetric draped satin midi dress, Dhs4,600 Green appeared across the spectrum on runways, but the standout was this bright, lively spring green at Valentino and Victoria Beckham. Neither too minty nor too olive, this perfect middle-ground green brings energy to any outfit without overwhelming. It's particularly striking in structured pieces like blazers and midi skirts, where its vibrancy can really shine against more neutral backgrounds. Sea Foam 1/2 Alaïa Turtleneck Midi Dress, Dhs8,490 Erdem and other designers proposed this soft greenish-blue as a surprising neutral alternative. More interesting than standard beige but just as versatile, sea foam works beautifully with all the other colors in the 2025 palette. It's especially flattering in the season's flowing silhouettes and textured fabrics, adding depth and interest while maintaining an overall softness. Misty Lilac 1/3 Loro Piana André linen shirt, Dhs3,080 A surprise standout in the 2025 palette, misty lilac brings a soft, romantic touch to summer dressing. Designers like Valentino and Dior showcased this delicate purple-gray hybrid in flowing chiffon dresses and tailored separates, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional pastels. With its muted, dusky undertones, this versatile shade pairs beautifully with butter yellow for a soft contrast or with chocolate brown for unexpected depth. Unlike brighter purples, misty lilac maintains a subtle, almost neutral quality that makes it surprisingly wearable for day and night. The summer 2025 color palette offers something for every taste, from those who prefer subtle sophistication to those who love bold statements. What makes this season particularly exciting is how these colors work together – imagine butter yellow with ballet pink, or mocha mousse with aperol orange. The combinations are endless, and all promise to capture the season's optimistic yet relaxed mood perfectly. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied Feature Image: Pinterest

Princess Charlene of Monaco Chooses Zimmermann for Breezy South of France Styling With Prince Albert II and Children
Princess Charlene of Monaco opted for an intricately embroidered midi dress courtesy of Zimmermann for her latest royal outing in the South of France's Carladez on Wednesday. The royal joined her husband, Prince Albert II of Monaco, along with the couple's two children, 10-year-old twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques. Princess Charlene wore Zimmermann's Dawning Sunray dress. The look featured a high neckline with cape silhouette sleeves and sunray pleats throughout. On both the bodice and the skirt of the ivory dress was black embroidery and patterning styled with botanical inspiration — a bouquet of florals featured throughout for an added dose of femininity and summertime styling.

Princess Charlene's family favored daytime outing royal styling. Prince Albert II wore a navy suited look complete with a tie. The couple's children wore summery pieces, with Prince Jacques in a polo while Princess Gabriella favored a botanical inspired dress with hues of green, red, blue and yellow. Zimmermann, an Australia-based brand, is a departure from the luxury wear Princess Charlene has a tendency to style. Last June, the royal wore a blue gown with exposed shoulders courtesy of Louis Vuitton for the losing ceremony of the 64th Monte Carlo Television Festival. The royal often styles pieces from other labels like Akris and Elie Saab, among others. The last time Princess Charlene coordinated with her children was last April during a visit to Brittany in France. Princess Charlene styled a plaid wool jacket and coordinated trousers from Ralph Lauren Collection alongside her daughter, who wore a similarly toned wool coat with angular lapels and a soft collar.

Trump seeks to cut basic scientific research by roughly one-third, report shows
Advertisement For basic science research, the association reported that the overall budget would fall to $30 billion from $45 billion, a drop of roughly 34%. For science funding overall — which includes money for basic, applied and developmental work, as well as for facilities for research and development — the analysis found that the federal budget would fall to $154 billion from $198 billion, a drop of 22%. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The new analysis shows that the Trump administration's His group, Smith added, is working with Congress to develop 'a funding plan for strategic investment that would help to sustain continued American scientific leadership rather than destroying it.' Advertisement Mary Woolley, president of Research America, a nonprofit group that promotes science, said the new analysis showed that the budget plan 'is threatening not only science but the American public. If approved by Congress, it will make the public less safe, poorer and sicker.' Victoria LaCivita, a spokesperson for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, did not reply to a request for comment on the new analysis. Related : In early May, the White House unveiled a budget blueprint that listed proposed cuts to a handful of science agencies. For instance, it sought a reduction in the budget of the National Science Foundation, which sponsors much basic research, to $3.9 billion from $8.8 billion, a drop of 55.8%. Alessandra Zimmermann, a budget analyst at the science association, said in an interview that the comprehensive analysis drew on several hundred proposed budgets from federal science agencies and programs, as well as figures supplied by the White House Office of Management and Budget. In May, the budget office made public the rough sketch of the administration's overall proposal for next year but included only a small number of science agencies and figures. Zimmermann added that the association's new compilations would be updated as new budget data from federal agencies and programs became available. However, she said, the group's estimates of cuts to federal basic research are 'not going to be undone by a minor number change.' The science group has long recorded the ups and downs of the federal government's annual spending on science. Taking inflation into account, Zimmermann said the administration's proposed cut of $44 billion would, if approved, make the $154 billion figure the smallest amount that the federal government has spent on science in this century. Advertisement Federal funding allocated for basic research is often seen as a measure for the likelihood of breakthroughs in esoteric fields like artificial intelligence and quantum computing, areas the Trump administration has prioritized. According to the White House budget office, the administration has maintained funding in these areas 'to ensure the United States remains on the cutting edge of these critical technologies' development and responsible use.' Each year, the president submits a budget request to Congress in advance of the annual appropriations process. Only Congress has the power to fund federal programs. That budget request thus carries no legal weight, but it does offer an opportunity for an administration to signal its priorities. In May, science appeared to be high on the list for significant funding cuts, while large increases were proposed for the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. Until the science association updated its reports on the proposed presidential budget for fiscal year 2026, however, the public had no clear indication of the overall size of the federal cuts. The proposed drop in federal funding for science research, if approved by Congress, could let China match or take the lead in global science investments, Zimmermann said. In April, the science group published figures showing that China had greatly increased support for its scientific enterprise in the past two decades. As of 2023 — the most recent year available for comparisons — China's investment was close to equaling that of the United States. Experts say it could take years of data gathering to know if China is pulling into the lead. Advertisement This article originally appeared in .
