Red Hot

It was all over the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes, and it’s tipped to be one of 2013′s hottest shades – while burgundy reigned supreme last year, now it’s the turn of a brighter shade of poppy red to take the limelight. There’s something about this colour that is instantly feel-good, and it’s this mood-boosting quality and high impact vibrancy that I love the most. Bright red is not a colour to wear if you don’t want attention – it’s eye-catching and glamorous when incorporated into your wardrobe, and even more sexy when tied in as a retro red lip (see the Chanel lipstick featured in my New Year Wishlist).

Here’s a few of my favourite examples of this red hot colour trend….

    • Thankyou! Yes, Jennifer Lawrence and Zooey Deschanel spring to mind for Golden Globe dresses in this shade that were stunning. Can be tricky to pull off, so I either think one red item that is the focus of the outfit (e.g. red dress) or just red lips / nails / bag, and use the colour to accessorize a more neutral look. xxx
