Think Pink: A Feminist Celebration in Blush Tones

This International Women’s Day 2026, London will host a uniquely symbolic celebration of womanhood and femininity. Eleanor Taylor-Roberts, founder of Eleanor Juliet PR Ltd., and writer Sofia Tindall will bring together a circle of influential women for an intimate Pink Party — an occasion marked by the bold choice of wearing wedding dresses once more, this time in tribute to a colour both loved and misunderstood: pink.
Historically, pink was once associated with masculinity, symbolising strength and stamina. It was only in the mid-20th century that marketers reassigned the colour to girls, turning it into a visual shorthand for traditional femininity. Over time, pink’s cultural significance has been fraught with contradiction: dismissed as frivolous or excessive, yet also used to express defiance. The shade of hot pink, in particular, embodies a fierceness that challenges the stereotype of softness and submission.
“This is a moment of discourse, poised rebellion and principally celebration,” says Eleanor Taylor-Roberts. “Two of the copious commonly referred to links to pink include nostalgia and optimism — weighty pillars in today’s world reflecting an emotional yearning to embrace simplicity and reconnect with childhood, fleeing societal pressures on women and men. There’s a notion of nostalgia when wearing a wedding dress, often stemming from the strong symbolism and sentimental significance of the piece, and I’m excited to give my Pronovias gown its curtain call.”

The event will also unveil a charity auction featuring a bespoke bridal fashion piece, with all proceeds divided evenly between the Wimbledon SW19 Women’s Institute and the Wimbledon Guild — two local organisations supporting women in the community.
Those interested in the auction can register via the form at https://www.eleanorjulietprltd.com/about, using the subject line “THINK PINK.” The soirée itself is strictly invitation-only.
The Pink Party promises to be an elegant and meaningful occasion — a celebration of softness as a symbol of strength, and a reminder that power can come in many hues.
