Red and Pink
Last fall, we visited the red and pink color combo in the context of it being an Emmy’s red carpet trend. Wearing pink and red together can be incredibly elegant and beautiful – as demonstrated powerfully on the Emmy’s red carpet!
Indeed, there were no fewer than five red and pink dresses to hit the Emmy’s red carpet this year.
Mandy Moore in Brandon Maxwell
Susan Kelechi Watson in Badgley Mischka
Taraji P. Henson in custom Vera Wang
Well, the color combo is still going strong on the red carpet. In fact, I spotted it just last weekend. Cynthia Erivo wore a red and pink Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown to the SAG Awards. Further, Lily Allen stunned in a red and pink gown by Azzi & Osta at the same event.
If you’ve been wondering, “Do red and pink go together?” Well, the short answer is a resounding, yes!
Of course, Valentine’s Day always brings an onslaught of red and pink outfit options. But, in fact, we adore wearing pink and red together year-round! Yes, some color combinations are typically associated with a certain time of year or around a particular holiday. Think red and green, orange and black, and pink and red certainly fall under that category. However, pink and red can (and should!) be worn throughout the year, not just around mid-February.
That then begs the question… How do you wear red and pink in real life? And how do you wear pink and red together when it’s not Valentine’s Day? That is, how do you wear pink and red without looking like you belong in the front window of a Hallmark store in February?
Well, we are here to help you wear and pink in sophisticated, stylish ways.

Love this post! I invited Lauren to speak to my couture sewing group and she was fantastic! Learned a lot about color. Idea #4 and # 6 are my favs.
Hey thanks, Roz! I appreciate your comment. So cool to hear about Lauren speaking at your event. As much as we love color and know about it intuitively, it’s great to have a color expert on board to help us dive deeper.
Thanks a million, Jennifer! You wear the color combo so well!
