It's widely acknowledged in fashion circles that yellow can be a tricky customer. Get it wrong and you'll look washed out and sickly, but invest time in finding a shade that works for you and you'll radiate. Check out Angelina's Emanual Unagro dress, worn to the Cannes premiere of Ocean's Thirteen. For a woman who's known for wearing black and not much else, she looks sensational and her minimal Chopard accessories ensure her look is classy, not brassy. Likewise, Anna Friel is a model of bohemian chic, with her maxi-dress and loose locks. Jessica Biel keeps things neat and simple, while Rachel Weisz proves you don't need a Californian tan to pull off yellow.
