We Love...
Janelle Monae, giving us structured fierceness in a bold head-to-toe red ensemble at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The actress and singer tends to opt for suits with a twist on the red carpet and she did not disappoint in this striking two piece.
Why It Works:
From dresses to jackets, crimson dominated the catwalk during International Fashion Weeks. Valentino, a designer with a penchant for this colour, would’ve been proud to see how consistently it showed up in ‘street styles’ pre his Autumn/Winter catwalk show.
And, of course, crimson red made an appearance on the Valentino catwalk, too.
Also Seen On:
Allesandra Ambrosio, Isla Fisher and Leslie Mann, who also looked radiant in their red gowns while attending the Oscars after party.
Follow Their Lead
This Basic Red Bandeau from Pretty Little Thing is an easy win at £5 and can be worn as both daywear and party wear. For an Oscar-worthy dress, head to Topshop: perhaps this Backless Fishtail Maxi dress (£25) will be your new favourite. And H&M’s Short Lace Dress (£39.99) is a look we can get behind as it’s perfect for summer picnics, weddings and parties.
