Celebrities Embrace Red for Fall and Winter: See Looks from Dakota Fanning, Nicole Kidman, and Others
Red is our forever color crush — and fan-favorite stars including Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Nicole Kidman and more all seem to agree.
Jenner was a vision at the 3rd annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on December 3, gracing the event’s red carpet in a figure-flattering Fendi gown. The crimson design featured a turtleneck and a corset bodice — adorned with a ribbon at the waist — that fell into a billowing skirt. The lively hue perfectly complemented Jenner’s rosy glam and brunette locks. Bassett also attended the event, wowing Us in a cherry-colored Schiaparelli gown that was completed with a caped hood.
Ratajkowski, meanwhile, proved that ruby shades aren’t only reserved for red carpets when she was spotted out and about in New York City in a cozy sweater dress in the cherry hue paired with black leather boots and dark sunglasses.
Celebrities aren’t the only ones making a case for scarlet this season — the most renowned fashion houses are too. Labels like Valentino, Hermès and Balmain unveiled vibrant red creations at their Fall 2023 presentations during Paris Fashion Week.
