From Jennifer Lopez to Ana de Armas: top latina celebrities show us how to rock in red

It’s almost impossible to envision flamenco style without red ruffles, an aesthetic that Camila Cabello frequently hints at, often in subtle ways, like she did with this mini dress, complete with ruffles along the neckline and cuffs, a great example from the collections of red dresses by Valentino.

When it comes to modernizing flamenco, we cannot forget to mention Rosalía , who once again decked herself out in scarlet for the 2020 Grammys, wearing this asymmetric, draped, and fringed design from the Alexander Wang summer 2020 collection that explores the rich texture of leather .

Asymmetric hems add a dynamic flair to any design, and in this sequin-embellished sheer dress by Elie Saab, Jennifer Lopez manages to capture all the attention of the media at the Toronto International Film Festival, empowered in a shade of red that matches her magnetic and feisty personality.

Combining scarlet red and the glimmer of sequins with an even more revealing sheer, Eiza González showed off her statuesque figure in this high-neck dress by British designer Christopher Kane, with its black knit collar and sleeve openings that matched her ankle strap heels.

Gleaming on her own is Jessica Alba in this Proenza Schouler midi dress, in a burgundy tone that relies on golden dome studs to give the look a festive flair, which the actress only needed to complement with a simple pulled-back hairstyle and dainty metallic accessories.

This Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini midi dress also combines red and gold, as both colors are woven together to create the fabric that hugs Eva Longoria’s figure. It also makes her stand out from the crowd by reflecting light, while maintaining its simple silhouette, which is perfect for events that are fairly formal, though not quite gala level.

If sculpted shoulders and sober colors are what defines a power suit, Gaby Espino puts those attributes aside, preferring a suit in a glowing shade of red that features shoulders with tie-details that add freshness, character, and a bit more fun to this classic ensemble.

The rich texture of velvet makes it possible for a single piece, like this Tom Ford jacket worn by Camila Coelho, to explore different shades of red, and even more so when the designer pairs it with silk-satin pants that are capable of reflecting light to create a visual feast of hues from just one outfit.

If you love the flamenco dancer emoji, just take a look at this IRL version. It’s Ana Patricia Gámez wearing this outfit for her show, Enamorándonos on Univisión. She felt so iconic in this high-low wrap dress that she made it her avatar on social media. Gorgeous!

Francisca Lachapel joins the trend with this wide-leg turtleneck jumpsuit, complete with a bow and cascade of ruffles that add liveliness and freshness to her look. Such a dramatic piece doesn’t require any major accessories, which is why she wore the sleeveless design with a simple pulled-back hairstyle and a pair of strappy sandals.

That subtle shimmer that intensifies the warmth of the color red was also seen in this outfit worn by Dascha Polanco, consisting of a tailored suit by Venera Arapu in line with the androgynous trend, which she makes look more feminine with its deep neckline revealing a glimpse of her delicate lingerie underneath.

From the eternal romance between red and pink comes an explosion of lovely tulle layers that Mexican designer Iván Ávalos used to create this mini dress with a long train, selected by Danna Paola for the season finale of the reality show La Academia, on TV Azteca, to make her already well-known presence even more visible.

In a more ladylike design, but equally eye-catching, Yalitza Aparicio used sequins to her advantage in this shiny red gown by Dolce & Gabbana that is adorned with floral embellishments down to the ankles, adding a touch of freshness to the outfit she wore to one of the 2020 Oscars after parties.

Speaking of red jumpsuits, we have to point out this great choice by Rashel Díaz. Despite its astonishing color stealing the spotlight, it still manages to showcase interesting details such as the lace off-the-shoulder neckline, adding texture and dimension to her look, and a touch of contrast thanks to the thin black belt that matches her shoes.

On the topic of ball gowns, Chiquinquirá Delgado chose this strapless organza gown by Monique Lhuillier that helps to keep her waist well-defined, while playing with different volumes that seem to defy gravity in the bust and extend into pleated details that give way to a huge skirt, a look that stole the spotlight on the 2019 Latin Grammys red carpet.

The red dress has also become a symbol of the fight against heart disease in women, thanks to the Red Dress Collection fashion show, organized by the Go Red for Women movement, created by the American Heart Association. In 2020, Roselyn Sánchez participated in the event, wearing a John Paul Ataker strapless gown with a column silhouette and Watteau back, which she knew how to flaunt down the runway with a distinctive flair.

As if the color red wasn’t warm enough, side slits and vents will help to turn the heat up. That’s exactly what Clarissa Molina demonstrated at the 2020 NFL Honors ceremony, where she revealed a little leg with this suggestive design and was bombarded with an avalanche of camera flashes.

Ana De Armas followed suit with side splits when she wore this Versace gown with crystal embellishments that underscore her status as a Bond Girl and sexy Latina who knows how to be seductive and also quite the lady… in red.

Surrounded by a bouquet of contrasting flowers, Ximena Duque is all smiles in this photo she posted on her Instagram, looking stunning in this red off-the-shoulder mini dress that she paired with a matching overskirt, creating a refreshing look, that is, above all, quite eye-catching.

If you still think that red is too bold to wear as a total look, you can still use it to your advantage by adding just a touch of this sizzling color to your next look.
