Pre-Fall 2025 colour trends: ‘Wicked’-inspired shades of pink and green

Since its November 22 debut, the long-awaited movie adaptation of the Broadway musical ‘Wicked’ has proven to be a massive box office hit. It is already the all-time highest-grossing movie adaptation of a Broadway musical, having earned $392.4 million domestically by mid-December 2024. Wicked has a compelling storyline of friendship, and bravery in the face of oppression. Plus, the set and costume design is a veritable feast for the eyes. When it comes to color, Galinda’s pink outfits pop against a backdrop of blue Shiz University uniforms. Later, when the two friends travel to the Emerald City, naturally the focus turns to a palette of greens.

The pre-fall collections for 2025 have also featured plenty of pinks and greens. We can trace the popularity of rosy hues back to summer 2023 and the enormous success of the movie ‘Barbie.’ On the other hand, shades of green have been trending for several seasons thanks to their connection to all-things nature. Here are five pink and five green looks from the current pre-fall ‘25 collections.
