8 Emoji Inspired Red Dresses To Shop This Season

Would you take your style advice from an emoji? No? Well, that’s the

trend sweeping the style set. It’s not just any emoji, mind – this is the dancing lady.

The flamenco-frilled character has become the symbol of all things party, which might explain why everyone who’s anyone is dressing like her – from those matching their frocks to the red carpet (Rosie H-W tops the long list), to the street-stylers heating up the pavements in red ruffles.

So why has the red dress won so many hearts? In a sea of LBDs, standing out in fire-engine frills that sway as you walk is, well, just a lot more fun.

Gucci – who else? – gave the look catwalk credibility (with a price tag to match), but this needn’t be an investment buy – our dress-obsession, Self-Portrait, delivers señorita style in spades for £300, and Boohoo’s tiered mini will let you unleash the lady in red for just £20.

Pair yours with strappy sandals in matching red, metallics or black, and get ready to be the life and soul. These dresses are the sartorial equivalent of letting your hair down. Castanets not included (but highly recommended).
