Amanda Holden styled a pistachio-coloured Karen Millen midi skirt and monochrome fitted top – and topped the look off with a pair of white heels.
Pastels and spring are a natural fit – powdery blues, luxury lilacs and baby pinks have long been go-to colours for this time of year. But – like Zara Tindall's recent pistachio look – Amanda Holden just made a compelling case for the shade of green topping the fashion charts right now.

Amanda's pistachio green long sleeve cardi is a versatile staple that can be paired with any of your favourite denim if a monochrome look is too much for you.
Amanda's flattering midi-length A-line skirt would look great with a neutral blouse, navy or black if you don't want to opt for a full green outfit – and it's on sale now.
With a flattering slim fit down the leg and a flared hem that adds a contemporary twist to the classic shape, these pastel suit trousers are a striking and easy-to-style piece for spring.
A classic blazer, the slightly oversized fit adds to its trendiness, but the pistachio green shade that does all the talking for this timeless piece.
A luxe-looking high-street find, these M&S sandals are so easy to style with their easy slip-on design and modern square toe.
With a gently textured and ribbed fabric giving these ballet flats a luxe and fun touch, they're so easily thrown on to finish off any pastel outfit.
Karen Millen isn't the only best British clothing brands championing pistachio – high street favourites ME+EM, M&S and Next are among many with the shade featuring heavily in spring/summer collections. But it's not just the colour working to create Amanda's sophisticated look – the tailored design and fit of the Karen Millen wrap A-line skirt goes a long way too.
Amanda's white heels are classy choice for this outfit, not just for their elegant shape, but the bright white colour complements the pastel beautifully. A pair of your best white trainers or some white sandals (like our digital fashion editor's favourite white Zara sandals) would work really well for a more casual feel too.
