Butter Yellow? Greta Lee Raises Us Electric Violet
Butter yellow is dead, and Greta Lee killed it.
After modeling Jonathan Anderson’s Dior drapery at the Venice Film Festival, the actor pivoted to a more futuristic sartorial vision. Promoting Tron: Ares, Lee wore a fresh-off-the-runway look from Luar’s spring 2026 collection. The electric violet suit featured sharp shoulders, an asymmetrical collar, and slim-fitting trousers with a flare. She accessorized with a pair of black wraparound shades and black pointy-toe pumps.
After pale yellow ruled spring and summer, Lee looked right across the color wheel for fall. She’s not the only one: the fall 2025 runways featured electric violet, from a double-breasted coat at Julian Klausner’s Dries Van Noten to a pair of trousers at Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford. Soring 2026 also looks promising for the vibrant hue. Colleen Allen showed a diaphanous interpretation in New York; Today in Milan, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons sent a knee-length dress with a full, pleated skirt down the Prada runway.
A warmer, Barney-esque purple has recently taken hold among celebrities, with Timothée Chalamet, Pamela Anderson, and Tyla all trying it out. But in her sharp Luar suit, Greta Lee is making a strong case for an electric violet fall.
