Celebrities Have a New Colour Code They Won't Stop Wearing

When it comes to spring and summer attire, we don't tend to think of putting red and black together—to us, this screams Christmas party. Lately, however, a handful of our favourite style stars are all about incorporating the rich combination into their wardrobe's rotation, so whoever says you have to stick to pastels and neutrals post-winter is clearly misguided. From Irina Shayk’s sultry-chic look at L’Oréal’s Red Obsession party to Selena Gomez’s cool-girl combo on the streets of Paris Fashion Week, this styling trick looks here to stay. Keep scrolling to see how some of your favourite influencers and celebs are wearing this look and to shop our roundup of black-and-red wardrobe essentials.
