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.

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.
