When choosing an evening dress, we always pay attention to its color. In this case, red will be the perfect option for an elegant toilet, as it is the color of passion, feminine strength and beauty. But red can be tricky - it is important to choose the right shade, accessories and style. If you choose the perfect dress, you will shine in it and will not go unnoticed. This is confirmed by the world stars of music and cinema, who often choose floor-length red evening dresses. Photos from the red carpet will help you choose the perfect option for yourself.
Mermaid
This is usually called the style of a dress with a skirt that is narrow at the hips and widens downwards. This model is also called a year. However, years are more often used in relation to everyday skirts, but an evening dress with a floor-length skirt is more often called a "mermaid" for its similarity to her tail.
This style of skirt looks very feminine and elegant andgoes well with any top - with bare shoulders, neckline or american armhole. However, it is worth remembering that a tight skirt requires a perfect hip line. Therefore, if you doubt your forms, it is better to resort to corrective underwear.
Since such a dress will be very bright due to the fluffy skirt and red color, it will require a minimum of jewelry - a necklace around the neck in case of a decollete and a bracelet will be sufficient accompaniments to the toilet. Nina Dobrev proves it by choosing a chic red evening dress. The photo of her outfit from Donna Karan for the Emmy Awards was remembered by all fashion critics.
Dress with full skirt
Despite the fact that the puffy princess skirt is more typical of wedding dresses, celebrities sometimes choose such dresses for an evening out. Why don't we take note of this style. In red, this dress will look simply chic, but in order not to look like a Disney heroine, choose a dress of a noble shade of red - deep scarlet or wine color.
Also, a puffy skirt will not tolerate being next to a rich decor. You should not choose a red puffy evening dress with flowers, rhinestones or bows. The more concise the silhouette, the better. So, the option of dense satin fabric that holds its shape well, with a concise, strict and closed bodice, looks ideal, for example, like the outfit from Elie Saab that Taylor Swift wore. It is also better not to choose a dress with a fluffy skirt and a corset, it may look vulgar.
The fluffiness of the skirt can be achieved by a large number of layers of tulle or similar thin fabric, or it can be made of a dense material that holds its shape well. The last option looks more elegant.
Case
Strict, concise, but incredibly feminine - a sheath dress can decorate any figure. For thin and tall, it will emphasize growth and stateliness, for corpulent ladies it will allow you to create a strict silhouette. Depending on the length, it can be both cocktail and very solemn.
Usually, a sheath dress in a casual wardrobe is sewn from a dense, well-kept fabric, but in the case of an evening dress, it can also be made from a thinner fabric that fits the figure beautifully.
Since this style is characterized by a narrow straight skirt, the bodice can be embellished or supplemented with interesting details that will make the image more unusual. For example, pay attention to the fashionable asymmetrical cut of the top. It can be one shoulder strap, decorated with contrasting embroidery, as, for example, on Dakota Johnson's beautiful red evening dress. Or it can be a full sleeve - long or short. In combination with another open shoulder and with a strict skirt, the dress will look very unusual.
Since the case is a rather concise style, a riot of accessories does not suit it. Choose expensive and strict jewelry - earrings, bracelet or necklace. Ideally, if there are only two decorations. Shoes are also suitable for strict and calm– monochromatic pumps with black stiletto heels or to match the dress.
Peplum dress
Such an element of a skirt as a peplum will allow you to transform a simple sheath dress into a more elegant and feminine version. This is proved by Jennifer Lawrence, who chose a red Dior evening gown with a peplum for the Oscars in 2014. In addition, the peplum is perfect for those women who do not have an ideal waistline, hips and abdomen - the peplum will cover what needs to be covered. In addition, this style will suit girls with an implicit waist - due to the additional volume on the hips, the emphasis on the waist will be more noticeable.
As for color, a red peplum evening dress can be of any shade, for example, take a look at juicy scarlet or delicate raspberry. Since the peplum refers us to the new look style, you can complement the image with elegant jewelry in gold hues that look great with juicy warm shades of red. Cooler tones like craola or fresh watermelon would pair perfectly with silvery metal like white gold or platinum, as well as black shoes or a clutch.
Dress with train
This is an option for special occasions when you need to shine without fail. It is worth remembering that for all its beauty, the train is not the most comfortable thing, so it is impossible to dance with it or walk a lot. Look at Rihanna's red long gown with an airy train at the Grammys - it's veryan interesting choice, but for a dance party, it is better to choose a dress with a detachable train, which can be removed after the official part of the event.
The train is usually made of thin airy fabric, while it is necessary that it flow easily and not interfere with its owner. This skirt looks very nice in combination with a deep neckline or an open back.
Slip Dress
The trend for lingerie-style dresses has not left the fashion industry for several years now. This style is very frank and sexy, and not every girl will decide on it. But if you dare, it will be a memorable exit. The combination dress is necessarily open, with thin straps, with a deep neckline. If the dress is floor length, then the concept of "naked dress" will be complemented by a high slit that opens the leg, for example, like Rita Ora's dress from Donna Karan at the VMAs.
From fabrics for such a dress, satin or velvet is suitable, it is possible to decorate the dress with lace inserts, but they may be superfluous if the dress is too open. Shades for a red evening dress are better to choose juicy, bold, clean - carmine, scarlet, American pink. As for jewelry, here you can both maintain the style and use a minimum of discreet details, and beat the contrast by choosing large massive bright jewelry. For example, a neck choker in shiny stones and rhinestones or a massive bracelet.
Retro
Retro style dress can becomean excellent evening option - unbanal and very effective. You can choose an outfit in the New Look style, so beloved by Christian Dior. It is characterized by feminine silhouettes - a narrow waist, a wide skirt and a dress length to the middle of the ankle. This dress with three-quarter sleeves also looks very nice.
Retro style red evening dress can be complemented with lace and embroidery, for example, as in Elie Saab's dress on Dita Von Teese. In combination with the closed style of the dress and the strict silhouette, lace does not look vulgar. You can choose absolutely any shades of red for such a dress - from classic to bright or diluted pastels. Darker shades - wine, carmine, terracotta - are also very noble with retro-style.
This dress will be complemented by a black or gold clutch and matching shoes. You can create an image of total red, that is, only in red shades that are as close as possible to each other. Complementing the combination with red lipstick, you will achieve a 100% hit in the image.
Backless Dresses
There is nothing sexier than a strict and closed front dress with a wide and deep cutout on the back. And the combination with a long skirt and red will be the most advantageous - you will get a passionate and feminine look, like Charlize Theron at the 2016 Oscars.
Red backless evening dresses can be paired with sleeves or off the shoulder, and often have a long train,which emphasizes the delicate bare back. Since the dress reveals quite a lot of skin, it's important that the shade of red goes well with it. Therefore, owners of light thin skin should give preference to warm, thick red shades. But swarthy young ladies can choose cold bright tones of red.
Mini
Evening dresses can be not only maxi lengths, but also mini, especially if the event is not too formal and the dress is for a young slender woman. The choice of red mini dresses is huge - this is a corset with a fluffy skirt, an A-line dress, and a tight bandage dress.
However, you can make an unusual choice of an evening red dress. In the photo of Blake Lively, on one of the red carpets, she appeared in a bright and daring mini dress from Marchesa.
His skirt is decorated with feathers, and the bodice is made of transparent mesh - it would seem that these details are incompatible. But how fresh and bright they look on a radiant actress. When choosing a short red evening dress, pay special attention to shoes, because, unlike a long dress, it will always be in sight with a short one. And if you are planning an event in the cool season, then choose tights very carefully - they should not be shiny, and their shade should be natural. In warm weather, it is better to do without tights altogether, giving the legs a well-groomed look with a tan or liquid stockings.
