How do you combat winter’s dark and dreary weather? Gwyneth Paltrow has found the remedy, and it comes in the form of bubblegum pink. An unexpected choice for this time of year, when festive reds and greens, as well as cosy neutrals, are dominating our wardrobes. But her bubblegum pink co-ord is just what we needed to inject some playful colour and brightness into our looks.
