On Monday here in London, we were all wearing T-shirts and complaining that it was too warm for October. By yesterday, we were back in our coats. We didn’t even get a chance to enjoy that in-between trench coat weather. It was one extreme to another, and now everything is starting to feel grey and gloomy.

So Mariana’s bright orange Balenciaga Spring 2027 turtleneck gown was a sight for sore eyes, delivering exactly the serotonin boost I needed as the hours of daylight grow shorter.

I love how relaxed this blouson-style turtleneck dress feels, making it an interesting alternative to the more glamorous red carpet looks she has delivered so far. And that colour. It’s a shade of orange that instantly lifts your mood, which is precisely why I will always welcome colour on the red carpet.

The styling was equally pleasing. Mariana opted for white sandals, thankfully avoiding Balenciaga’s Duchesse pumps. I don’t think I could have coped with those shoes ruining my serotonin boost.

A selection of Tiffany & Co. jewels completed her look, including a Bird on a Rock pendant. The turquoise against the orange was a beautiful combination, adding another welcome touch of colour to an already uplifting look.
