Embrace 2025’s Cherry Red Color Trend With These Delectable Accessories
This season’s most coveted pieces are coated in the juicy shade, from sweet slingbacks to glossy handbags.


Vibrant, juicy, and just a little bit tart, fashion's appetite for the cherry red color trend isn't dwindling anytime soon. While labels like Stella McCartney, Simone Rocha, and Jacquemus favored bright variations of the sweet shade in past seasons, the Spring 2025 runways offered deeper tones resembling the rich, ripe hue of a cherry freshly picked from a tree. Specifically, across the Fashion Month circuit, designers demonstrated that the best way to give the spring color trend a taste is by way of accessories.
At Gucci, Sabato De Sarno showcased a crop of delicious spring bags in the Italian Maison's signature pigment, "Rosso Ancora." Valentino chose to champion the fruity hue with massive wide-brimmed sun hats that belong in every sand-dusted beach bag. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta enhanced a feathered white dress with a pair of pointy cherry-colored pumps. In doing so, the brand substantiated TikTok's unexpected red theory, which suggests that a splash of red can zhuzh up any outfit when thoughtfully styled.
Shades of cherry red were sprinkled across the Spring 2025 runways of Gucci, Valentino, and Bottega Veneta.
If you need more proof to back up this color concept, just take a look at A-listers who have decorated their rich-looking outfits with loud luxury accessories coated in cherry red. Not too long ago, Rihanna cleverly upgraded an all-black outfit with crimson red Gucci sunglasses. Auring a recent off-duty outing, Kendall Jenner took a similar approach but decided to style her neutral uniform with a burgundy Birkin bag.
It’s worth noting that this coveted color has caught on beyond runways and celebrity circles. Pinterest recently revealed that searches for the term “dark cherry red” have increased by 235 percent in comparison to last year—a striking statistic that reflects a growing interest among consumers.
So, if you’d like to try the cherry red color trend for yourself, look no further than Marie Claire’s shopping guide. Ahead, we’re serving up a handpicked curation of accessories that will feed your craving.
Cherry Red Shoes
On Balmain’s Spring 2025 runway, models stomped around in embellished pumps.
This season, brands have fallen head over heels for cherry red spring shoes. For an upscale appeal, slide into a pair of elevated mules, slingbacks, or strappy sandals. If you’d prefer a low-to-the-ground look, you can opt for sneakers, Mary Janes, or T-strap flats anchored in durable soles.
Cherry Red Bags
In the world of Bottega Veneta, maximalism reigns supreme. The label crafted its cherry red caryall with a croc-embossed exterior.
There’s something about a saturated cherry red bag that looks undeniably expensive. To achieve a look that screams, “I’ve jumped a tax bracket,” choose a sumptuous bag from the assortment below. Whether you go for a patent leather shoulder bag or a slouchy tote, you’re bound to exude a wealthy vibe
Cherry Red Jewelry
Ask Gucci’s former creative director Sabato De Sarno about the best way to style a cherry red outfit, and he’ll suggest adding matching accessories into the mix.
If you’re intimidated by the cherry red color trend’s bold look, ease your way into the style with pieces of jewelry that won’t overwhelm your outfit. Try a beaded bracelet, a ruby necklace, or a pair of cherry earrings that interpret the trend quite literally.
Cherry Red Hats & Hair Accessories
For its Spring 2025 collection, Loro Piana gave the sporty bucket hat style a fashion-forward upgrade.
With balmy temperatures on the horizon, consider rounding out your warm-weather wardrobe with hats and hair accessories that are stylish yet practical. Bucket hats and baseball caps will shield your face from the sun, while hair scarves, headbands, and barrettes will prevent strands of hair from sticking to your skin.
Cherry Red Sunglasses
Gucci conveyed a “go big or go home” message with huge sunnies.
Any fashion expert will tell you that the key to looking ultra-polished involves wearing sophisticated sunglasses. There’s nothing wrong with a classic black pair. But if you’re looking to give your eyewear collection a vibrant boost, why not slip on some cherry red shades?
Cherry Red Belts
During Isabel Marant’s Spring 2025 runway show, there were embroidered cherry red belts aplenty.
Put a sculpted spin on your getup with a standard hardware-adorned belt or a whimsical wrap tie alternative. The following options will pull any outfit together, quite literally. Expect to receive many compliments, and make sure to thank us later.
