Coming In Hot: Red Is Officially Trending

While Valentino may have been behind FW23’s Hot Pink resurgence, a plethora of designers—from Proenza Schouler to Puppets & Puppets and Sandy Liang—are charging ahead with a far stronger shade for spring. From crimson to chili, scarlet to carmine, red is officially trending. More commonly loved as a classic lipstick shade that’s equal parts chic and shocking, designers have doused the traffic-stopping hue across suits, dresses, and boots this season—and the results aren’t for introverts.

Remember Rihanna’s jaw-dropping half-time performance at the Big Game earlier this year? She was a powerful presence, commanding the stage, as she performed hit after hit, while pregnant, in a fiery show-stopping flight suit by Loewe, a puffer jacket by Alaïa, and lug-sole sneakers by MM6 Maison Margiela.
