Welcome back to the Velvet Runway and this post about two ways to style a red dress. Ten days ago at the start of the Instagram May Style Challenge, I picked a few of my favourite sleeveless looks from the past few months and also picked a selection of my favourite high street sleeveless tops and dresses , one of which was this red dress from Zara, which has lovely detailing and the bright red colour inspired me to label this post ‘lady in red’.
Lady in red : Two ways to style a red dress
Read on for two ways to style this dress and lots more photos :
It’s the end of week 2 of the Instagram May Style Challenge, which I am co-hosting with 4 other bloggers and today’s theme is “scarface”, which is why I have added a scarf to the above photo!
However, it gives me the perfect opportunity to show off this red dress, which I am so happy to have found in Zara. I love the brocade type material and the cut-out detail at the bottom of the skirt, which gives it a more youthful look!
In the photos below, I paired it with the scarf and nude heels.
I also think it looks great with a statement necklace, and black heels as seen in the two photos below. The photo in heels was for the Style Challenge, but it turned out that the biggest challenge was not falling in the pond!

What a fabulous dress! I love the lace at the bottom! I prefer a statement necklace visually, but if I am going place where it might be chilly, the scarf is a pretty way to be warm!
So my answer is both!
I prefer black shoes, the nude shoe I do wear from time to time, but black shoes are my favorite!

Thanks Elle. I think I prefer the black shoes with this dress too, although I love the nude shoes with pastels 🙂
