You've probably worn a notable red dress at some point in your life. And chances are, it's still hanging in your closet. Because the thing about a sexy red dress is — no matter the shape or the added details — it never goes out of style. We're still smitten with the little cutout mini Jennifer Aniston [1] wore to her perfume launch in 2011, and how about that iconic Calvin Klein sheath JLaw selected for her first time at the Oscars?
Just in time for Valentine's Day [2], we're inspiring you with some of our all-time favorite fashion moments that started with a simple red dress, and ended up on the red carpet. From date-night casual [3] to over-the-top fancy, there's a wide variety here, but we promise they'll all put you in the mood for some loving.
