This year, you’ll likely see many people wearing mocha mousse, the warm, rich chocolate color Pantone has named color of the year for 2025.
Starting the year right, Sasha Pieterse was one of the first celebs to don this year’s color. She showed up on the set of Good Morning America wearing a brown corset and matching Michael Kors mules to discuss her new movie, A Carpenter Christmas Romance.

Sasha Pieterse isn’t one to shy away from whimsical patterns, striking colors, and bold silhouettes that often highlight her curves. She frequently blends traditional pieces with playful accents, showcasing her mastery of style.
However, for her most recent TV appearance, Sasha opted to keep things understated in brown and black. She wore a brown bustier corset top with exposed seam stitch details and structured bra cups highlighting her cleavage.

She tucked her daring top into a silk satin midi skirt that gracefully sways as she moves. I adore the skirt’s length on her; it strikes the perfect balance between flirtatious and modest, with lots of room for movement and flow.
I love how Sasha seamlessly incorporated the year’s color into her ensemble without making it seem so forced. Additionally, it complemented her skin tone flawlessly, giving her a radiant look.
Ahead of her GMA appearance, she was pictured bundled up in a long black coat, which not only kept her warm but also added a more elegant touch.
Pieterse, who was once the target of body shaming, has been vocal about her struggles with body image due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Following her diagnosis, she has learned to embrace her body and encouraged body positivity among her fans. I adore how she now looks more confident and radiant than ever.

Earth-Toned Accessories That Perfectly Complement Sasha’s Mocha Mousse Look
Sasha kept the rest of her look cohesive, styling the brown and black ensemble with earth-toned accessories.
Her large gold hoop earrings, which peeked through her long, dark, stunning waves, complemented her slim brown Gucci belt with a gold-tone interlocking GG logo buckle.
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl actress chose to keep her neck bare so her outfit could take center stage. She added just a few rings and a bangle to give the look some sparkle, though, in my opinion, the color combination alone is enough to catch attention.

Pieterse tied the look together with brown Michael Kors “Jessa” mules. They are made of brown leather with a crocodile print that complements any ensemble. They’re a lovely addition to the flirty and feminine ensemble, if I may add.
These mules have a pointed toe and a slim tubular strap across the foot, enhancing the chic and sophisticated vibe of the silhouette. They are finished with 4-inch stiletto heels, adding several inches to Sasha’s 5’6” height.
I’ve always loved pointed-toe mules; they have this polished and elegant appearance because they elongate and make the foot look slimmer. Not to mention, the open-back design adds a comfy touch!

Inside A Carpenter Christmas Romance: Love, Challenges, and Festive Redemption
Sasha Pieterse, who has starred in seven seasons of the mystery teen drama Pretty Little Liars, plays successful author Andrea Metcalf in the romance movie, which is the penultimate film in Lifetime’s 2024 “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” series of holiday movies.
Metcalf is in the process of publishing the final novel in her romantic fantasy novel series when she discovers that the last page of the novel has been leaked. Fans are outraged that she killed off the hero they have come to love and demand that she change the ending. However, Metcalf refuses to do so.
To avoid the criticism, Andrea retreats to her aunt’s country house for the holidays, where she runs into her former crush, woodworker Seth Ferguson (Mitchell Slaggert), who is helping in the town’s reconstruction following a fire.
Despite their complex romantic past, the two grow closer as Andrea discovers Seth’s selfless efforts to help the community.
