The red dress is timeless. Sexy. Ageless. Don’t you agree?
With Valentine’s Day just a week away, today seemed like a love-ly day to share some stunning red dresses at a variety of price points as well as a few of my absolutely favorite celebrity red dress moments… just for fun and inspiration.
How do you style your go-to red dress after 50?

Do you remember the song, dear readers? I do!
“I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away”

Five Great Red Dresses For Women After 50

Look very closely, shimmering embellishments adorn the buttoned sleeves of this stunning dress, styled with a round neckline with a hidden back zipper for a streamlined look.
This is such a fabulous deal, it had to be included! This Maison Jules dress, featuring double ruffles for a fuller, twirl-ready skirt…. because I still enjoy a dress that makes me feel like twirling. I am smiling.
Pssst, this is another dress priced irresistibly low. It also comes in a lovely blue hue. Shop the look at the link below.

This flattering knee-length sheath dress comes in a variety of hues with a beautifully placed floral print and 3/4-sleeves.

A final thought: If red doesn’t make you feel sexy, find something that does! A long bath, a walk in the park, a good book, or a fresh manicure. In my opinion, darlings, feeling great in one’s own skin is rewarding at every age.
Great looking red dresses! I don’t think it matters what color the dress is if Sophia Loren or Marilyn Monroe is wearing it-but they looked fantastic in these photos.
I am glad you enjoyed and I agree the color of the dress is the frosting on the cake. What is in the dress is what matters. Warmly, Honey
Loved that you included pictures of Sophia and Marilyn. What a totally unexpected thing to do, and I thank you for making these two women relevant again. It’s just somehow comforting and brings me back to a a much less complicated period! Nice!!
I just felt myself relax reading your comment.I agree with your thoughts. Thank you, Sable. Warmly, Honey
