It's not that I don't care for the color pink, it's that I abhor the way many grown-up women reduce themselves to a a juvenile version of themselves in an abundant amount of baby pink. Worn wrong or heavy-handed, it become the one color that strips you of your power as a woman brings you down to the level of a playground cutie.

When when worn the right way, it's magic for your complexion and figure! Case in point: Salma Hayek looks absolutely stunning in an antique pink silk georgette Gucci Première strapless gown on the red carpet in Cannes. She looks gorgeous, amazing, to-die-for. Forget about baby pink, this is the shade and silhouette to use as your litmus test the next time you wear pink. Do you look this hot and sophisticated? Then go for it. Or, do you look like a woman trying too hard to look girly? Take a pass on pink. You are a woman, now go and look like a goddess.
