Elle Woods once famously quipped that whoever said orange is the new pink was “seriously disturbed” — but judging by Khloe Kardashian, Gigi Hadid, Serayah, Selena Gomez, and the slew of other celebrities who’ve been choosing the hot hue for red carpet moments and off-duty days alike lately, Hollywood would beg to differ.
