Last year, it was clear to see that red dominated the runway, with brands like Valentino, Ferragamo, Chocheng, and Cong Tri showcasing head-to-toe red ensembles for Spring 2025. For the year ahead, red appears to be ensuring its staying power. Giambattista Valli unveiled a grandiose red gown for the brand’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show. The 2025 Golden Globe Awards saw numerous celebrities styled in bold red gowns, including stunning looks by Isabella Rossellini, Dakota Fanning, Emma Stone, and Maren Morris. Guests were also spotted wearing all red while attending Paris Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 shows, hinting that red remains a favored choice for 2025’s adventurous palette.

The color red has deeply mixed reactions throughout history and can evoke a strong response. It can indeed seem like a daring choice if you typically reach for more muted colors and neutrals, but you can always keep it simple and add a small splash of color with a cherry handbag or a pair of cardinal flats. If you’re looking to add this fiery hue to your wardrobe and are unsure what to wear or how to style this attention-grabbing color, check out these daring all-red looks and find a shade that works for you.
