When I first saw Whitney Port
’s adorable peach Marc Jacobs
dress on the red carpet in Las Vegas, I loved it, but I definitely would not have predicted that the cool hue would become a hot color for fall.

At last night’s 13th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala, both Zooey Deschanel (in a Luella Spring 2010 design) and Julianne Moore picked pale peach dresses and chose black accents to set off the beautiful coral shade.

Part of pulling off this look just right lies in the right accessories: Choose either contrasting black to play up the color, or soft metallics that complement and won’t compete against the mouthwatering color.
