Hello gorgeous ladies! As we approach the most glittering season of the year, I'm thrilled to share the winter color seasons in our holiday color branding series for the Renaissance Woman of Style. Today, we're celebrating the Deep Winter color palette and the magnificent palette of jewel-toned colors that truly shine during the festive season.
Why Winter Seasons Reign Supreme During the Holidays
If you're a Deep Winter woman of style, you already know that deep, cool colors from the winter color season look exceptionally beautiful on you. But here's the exciting part: during the holiday season, winter seasons—especially Deep Winter and Clear Winter—have access to the most gorgeous, decadent jewel-tone colors of all the seasonal palettes.
Your signature colors include deep jeweled burgundies, crimson reds, regal purples, sapphire blues, and emerald greens. There's truly an array of stunning jewel colors for you to explore during this festive time of year.
Red Carpet Inspiration: Deep Winter Celebrities
Let's look at how Deep Winter celebrities have mastered holiday glamour:
Viola Davis in shimmering chocolate bronze with a perfectly balanced smoky eye—proof that this color creates stunning harmony without overwhelming your features.
Jennifer Connelly in platinum silver outlined with black satin piping, showcasing how metallics and geometric patterns create gorgeous contrast against deep coloring.
Demi Moore in regal midnight purple so deep it almost reads as black, elevated with diamond accessories and neutral makeup that lets the gown speak for itself.
Lupita Nyong'o in majestic sparkling green sequins with a burberry plum lip—a masterclass in pairing jewel tones with complementary accent colors.
Monica Bellucci in elegant bronze gold, demonstrating the power of metallic evening gowns (though a pop of red or plum on the lips would add even more warmth to the face).
Zoe Saldana in decadent noir with silvery black shimmer and crimson red lips—the epitome of polished sophistication with minimal accessories.
Jodie Turner-Smith in icy lavender with silver embroidery and feather details, proving that ethereal, natural makeup can be just as stunning as bold color statements.
Understanding Your Deep Winter Color Palette
As a Deep Winter woman of style, your coloring is characterized by deep, cool tones with high contrast. You share some similarities with the Deep Autumn season (many Deep Winters can borrow rich, textured colors from their sister season), but your foundation remains firmly rooted in deep, cool, jewel-toned brilliance.
Some iconic Deep Winter women include Jodie Turner-Smith, Monica Bellucci, Viola Davis, Demi Moore, and Lupita Nyong'o—each showcasing the dramatic beauty of this color season in their own unique way.

Your Holiday Color Palette: Jewel Tones to Treasure
For festive celebrations, embrace these signature Deep Winter colors:
Deep Jeweled Burgundy – Your key power statement color that radiates sophistication
Crimson & Ruby Reds – Bold and glamorous for making memorable entrances
Regal Midnight Purple – Deep, mysterious, and utterly elegant
Sapphire Blue – Rich and luxurious with timeless appeal
Emerald & Hunter Green – Perfect for channeling festive elegance
Decadent Black – In velvet, satin, or lace, black is your ultimate power color
Chocolate Bronze & Elegant Bronze Gold – Warm metallics that complement your cool coloring beautifully

The Secret to Making a Grand Entrance
Here's an insider tip that applies to any formal occasion: never over-accessorize. Let the focus remain on you wearing the outfit, rather than the outfit wearing you.
When your makeup is polished, your hair is on point, and you're wearing colors from your signature palette, you don't need excessive accessories. One beautiful bold necklace, an elegant ring, or a stunning pair of earrings—choose one or the other. Less truly is more when it comes to making a memorable entrance.

The array of gorgeous jewel-tone colors available to you works beautifully for festive celebrations, giving you countless options to create stunning, memorable, glitzy, glamorous outfits that will carry you confidently into the new year.
