Red is for Revenge
It’s been said that the best revenge is living well…I’d like to add that looking fabulous is also a great form of revenge. Emily Thorne is all about revenge, and she carries out her mission in fabulous style. She haunts the Hamptons with her plot to prove her father’s innocence. Often she chooses the color red, so I’m spotlighting that iconic color in seven killer pieces. From a one shoulder dress that mimics Emily’s own party dress to a blazer that takes on any work-related business, red is for revenge. Leather is another sure-fire way to carry out vengeance, whether it be in sexy red leather pants, a seductive trench, or a simple red banded watch. Finally, you can add a revenge-ful kick to any outfit with red accessories, like a killer pair of heels or a slim studded clutch.
1. Hybrid Dress One Shoulder Pencil: Channeling Emily’s stunning party style, this red cocktail dress features a one shoulder cut, delicate pleating, and a figure-flaunting silhouette. Pair back to gold accessories, a slim clutch, and a sleek pulled back hairstyle to style this dress like Emily did.
2. Badgley Mischka Goodie: Elegance and vengeance? Perhaps they do go together. These classic peep toe pumps are composed of sleek satin and accented with light-catching jeweled brooches. Flaunt your feet with these Badgley Mischka pumps; they are the perfect ending to an LBD or a feminine touch to a cropped black pant.
