When in doubt, wear red — isn't that how the Bill Blass quote goes? Because while black may be easy and always seem elevated, it's this fiery hue that'll help you stand out in the crowd.

Just ask the stars who opted to rock it this week, from Selena Gomez in a sweet little suit to Emily Blunt's sequin-adorned masterpiece — we now know why it's considered a power color. Keep scrolling to see everyone's red look in full, and then remember this style lesson when you're stumped on what to wear.

Selena Gomez

Selena continued her stylish streak as she left BBC Radio in this bright set. After seeing her rock two red looks in one week, we're convinced this is totally her color.

Emily Blunt

Whoa there, Emily! The star shined — literally! — on the red carpet at the UK premiere of Sicario wearing a sequined dress made by Prada.

Claire Danes

Claire couldn't help but shop this Oscar de la Renta Spring '16 look right off the runway, and who can blame her? She was unveiling her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and that honor alone calls for something extraspecial.

Sofia Vergara

While Sofia's ensemble looks like a red dress, it's actually a curve-hugging set! The star wore the outfit during a visit to The View, where she was also spotted linking arms with her man, Joe Manganiello.

Diane Kruger

Diane can do no wrong: while this plaid dress might seem out there or quirky on a handful of stars, she makes it seem ultrachic, pairing it with black pumps at the Maryland Paris premiere.

Miranda Kerr

Would you wear a black choker with a formal look? Miranda did just that while sitting front row at La Koriador, instantly making us fans of the somewhat odd pairing.

Kerry Washington

Take a tip from Kerry when putting together your next look: a feminine red fit-and-flare goes really well with red embellished pumps!

Emmy Rossum

Pearls can be fun, too! Take a look at how they're creatively placed on the dress Emmy wore to go90's sneak peek at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills.

Alexa Chung

Think ruffles are juvenile? Think again! Alexa showed us the modern way to wear them, styling her red-and-white-striped midi dress with pointed-toe booties at the Business of Fashion's 500 gala.

Anne Hathaway

If you're not ready to rock red from head to toe, ease into your look like Anne Hathaway. Her lip-printed Garance Doré x Equipment Daddy shirt and red heels were quirky-meets-classic for an appearance on Good Morning America.
