Awards show viewers might have noticed a trend in recent years: Some of the red carpets have been colors other than red.
But that doesn't mean the color has disappeared from the rugs. This year, red has been among the most popular colors worn by celebrities. Selena Gomez, Ayo Edebiri, Barry Keoghan, Dua Lipa, Meghann Fahy, Charles Melton, Michelle Yeoh, Suki Waterhouse and Margot Robbie are just a few of the stars who have worn shades of red at recent awards shows like the Emmys and the Globes. Gold.
“The Color Purple” actress Danielle Brooks is another star who chose red — specifically, a bright pink hue that lit up with every camera flash as she walked the purplish-red carpet in her strapless dress at the Globes. Of her dress, Brooks told Vogue: “Red is a powerful color and I feel powerful.”
The following collection of red looks includes her dress and many more, from elegant and simple column dresses to over-the-top ensembles.
