The warm weather isn't over just yet, and there's no better way to manifest more sunshine than by brightening up your wardrobe with a yellow dress.
Meghan Markle is always giving us major style inspiration, and the Duchess wore a Carolina Herrera relaxed maxi dress in the trending shade earlier this year when she visited Nigeria with her husband Prince Harry. The 43-year-old paired her floor-length gown with nude leather heels and gold jewellery (her gold choker is on our wish list) proving that the vibrant hue is the ultimate occasion style.
Whether you're on the hunt for a slinky yellow dress for date night or a mustard midi that will transition perfectly into the new season, it's not too late to level up your wardrobe with the timeless colour, and I've picked out the very piece pieces to shop now.

Yellow is often seen as a challenging colour to style, but the shade is more versatile than you think. Soft pastel yellows will work with just about any colour in your wardrobe, while bright yellows pair perfectly with whites, nudes, and lilacs. If you're wearing a yellow dress for a special occasion, elevate the look by opting for a pair of hot pink heels and a matching bag for a stylish finish.
How I chose the best yellow dresses
- Style: From satin evening styles to floral wedding guest dresses, I've picked out a variety of dresses in sunshine yellow, mustard, and bright yellow shades.
- Price: The dresses in this list come in a mix of price points ranging from £25 to £200, so you'll find something to suit every budget.
- Inclusivity: Fashion moves fast, so I've selected dresses that have almost every size in stock, with some plus-size and petite options available too.
- Trusted brands: While it wasn't possible to try every yellow dress in the edit, I've only picked out brands that are known and loved by the HELLO! Shopping Team, with pieces that I believe are truly worth investing in.
