Yellow = Beyonce
It’s her Lemonade mood. A colour Beyonce feels strongly about. Ever since her album dropped last year, the world has been talking about her yellow dress in the video to Hold Up. Look up her pictures from the 2001 MTV Movie Awards, at Prince’s Trust Urban Music Festival in London in 2004, at the 2008 Grammy after-party, BET Awards 2012.... Her designer-stylist B. Akerlund has told Billboard: “I knew that mustard yellow was the perfect shade for Beyonce.”

Blonde = Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s hair blessed this year’s Super Bowl, a joint effort by the singer and celebrity hairstylist Frederic Aspiras who used Matrix Style Link products and a Dyson blow dryer. “It’s all her own hair,” Frederic has said. But what about the subtle wash of pale pink on the ends of her hair? Brilliant!

Red = Madonna
True, she is known for wearing the iconic white wedding dress on the cover of her 1984 album, Like A Virgin. But when it comes to her lips, she has been a constant devotee of red. Gina Brook, the make-up artist who has often worked with Madge, collaborated with MAKE UP FOR EVER to create Aqua Rouge #8. “To me, the shade looks iconic, which is the perfect word to define Madonna and her career,” Gina said in 2012.

Blue = Bob Dylan
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue. Tangled Up In Blue. Subterranean Homesick Blues. Of course, this doesn’t mean blue is the Nobel laureate’s favourite colour because as the man mentions in Lay Lady Lay: Whatever colours you have in your mind/ I show them to you and you see them shine. At the same time, it’s worth mentioning the number of Dylan titles with blue or blues in them.

Colour Trio = Bob Marley
Bob Marley’s track tops what we now sometimes call athleisure! The singer spent his life on the road and proved he was the king of comfort. That colour trio of green, red and gold has become legendary!

White = Elvis Presley + Michael Jackson
The simple white suit on the cover of his Thriller album. The sharp white suit and white-and-black fedora in the video to Smooth Criminal. His black-and-white look in the video to the song that defines that colour combination.... No wonder Michael Jackson remained a fashion force till the end.

Of course, MJ was just borrowing the colour from his father-in-law’s wardrobe. Yes, Elvis Presley, whose daughter Lisa he married for a short period. The rock ’n’ roll legend’s white jumpsuit became equally legendary when it was featured on Elvis Presley’s Aloha From Hawaii concert film, the most-watched satellite broadcast offering of 1973.
