It’s no secret that red has always been an iconic hue for fashion. Just think Marilyn Monroe in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,' Cindy Crawford in a plunging Versace number at the 1991 Oscars, or more recently, Bella Hadid on the red carpet earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival.
Red is fierce, defiant, and definitely not for wallflowers. Simply put, red is the color of a woman in charge. And if the runways over the past year are any indication, designers are clearly having a love affair with the hue in all its nuances—cherry, scarlet, vermillion, crimson, cardinal, burgundy, and the list goes on and on. Dior's bright red party dress was elegant and feminine. Valentino's vinyl trench, meanwhile, felt more sleek and utilitarian—instantly spawning dozens of imitations. And Balenciaga's oversized hoodies offered a new take on the hyper-casual trend.
With so many collections to pull from, it was pretty much expected that as soon as these garments dropped in stores, our Instagrams would turn red-hot in a flash. From silky dresses to statement handbags, scroll on to shop our power red picks…
