I wondered why no one was in Red this season, the official nancy colour it seems

now i know why

both of them in red for the announcement. nice touch BBC

I don't think red suited any of the finalists... But it was a nice touch

I thought those dresses were sassy!!!

One of the insiders said early on in the series there would be no red dresses as it was Nancy's colour.

They all looked great

Niamh was in red!!!

More a pinky/cerise than a primary red

More of a deep pink I thought?

I didn't like the red dresses at all. But it was a nice touch!

Yeah, it was a pink, not a red. You can tell by looking at the red underskirt sticking out, it's not the same colour.

nope it was deep fuscia.. i thought it was red at first too

ooh! get you! Vivienne Westwood!

Was nice to see them in red, yes

But all the same....I think the girls looked better in their proper colours than the red dresses.

I cant believe we have a thread on color now........are we all going mad...lol

The colours of the dresses are important.

People need a good colour. I feel Rachel and Francesca really lost out with their dress colour this year

Definitely, colours are important. Yellow was awful - Keith didn't suit it much either last year.

I think Niamh's colour was the prettiest, liked Samantha's and quite liked Sarah's colour, though I haven't a clue what it should be called!

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thud

I think Niamh was definitely given the best colour, contrasted well with her pale skin/dark hair as well. I too like Sarah's and Samantha's, and I always thought Jessie's was lovely.

Yellow had to be worst one, but I was never fond of Tara's orangey colour either.

I didn't think Rachel's was that bad I like yellow! Thought Jessie and Sam and Ashley had the best (but just because they're my favourite colours), and thought Sarah, Cleo, Tara and Fran had horrendous colours, not bold enough, especially Sarah's nasty green colour. What colour is that?

But I loved the red dresses, all three last night looked fab (apart from their hair). Still think Rachel would have suited red best though!!!

Oh, Cleo's was awful I thought - it was such an undefining, vague colour! Tara's orange wasn't that great either; even if they're both orange I much preferred Connie's.

I thought it was so clichéd putting Irish Jessie in green every week - even her non-Nancy outfits! I thought she was going to turn into a leprechaun by the end of the series.

I thought green just really complemented her hair colour actually, I really liked the green on Jessie. Also, what do you mean by non-Nancy outfits? The one they wear in the solos and group performances etc? If so, all the other girls were usuaully still wearing the colour in those too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They usually put all the girls in other dresses of a similar colour to their main Nancy dress (though wasn't always possible/needed).

I think Jessie has one of the best dresses though, the colour seemed really good for her.

Im just glad the hair went back to curly...........they made her so old looking playing around with her hair........

I supposed it's because I'm a redhead! I was always put in green as a kid and I've always tried to veer away from it ever since - and they do say "red and green should never be seen"!! (I must admit I hadn't noticed the colour co-ordination of the others - just Jessie!)

I don't think that's actually necessarily true - I'm a red head too, and I find green really suits me - much more than any other colour. I remember Marcia Cross wearing a deep emerald gown for something, and she looked amazing.

what? it's not just about colour in general - it's about the colour RED for Nancy. it was a great touch.
