Created hot pants in gold colour (8)
I believe the answer is:
authored
'created' is the definition.
(author can mean to create)
'hot pants in gold colour' is the wordplay.
'pants' is an anagram indicator (UK informal term for 'nonsense' or 'rubbish').
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'colour' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of colour).
'hot' is an anagram of 'tho'.
'au'+'red'='aured'
'tho' going into 'aured' is 'AUTHORED'.
(Other definitions for authored that I've seen before include "Wrote" , "written" .)
