Sourced from French, ombré translates as a color that’s shaded or graduated in tone. Pink/white ombré first made an appearance on Gwen Stefani’s Dior wedding dress back in 2002 and ever since then, has become to go-to choice for personal expression, being used in hair and nail styles and as a decorative choice in all aspects of personal style. From a Prada bag and Versace wedding gown to a stunning wedding cake and floral arrangement, pink/white ombré exudes femininity and stylistic integrity which is why, it is not surprising that over the years, people have ombré’d many of their personal belongings by using paint swatches as inspiration.
