Lady in red
by Noelle Loh

 

So beloved is the colour red that musicians from crooner Chris de Burgh to rapper Sean Kingston have devoted tunes to it. So striking is the hue that it has become a trademark of silver screen's sexiest. So hot is it that the choice shade works well beyond Chinese New Year. Here, we celebrate the colour by picking eight - for added luck - dresses, bags, shoes and accessories - for you to paint the town red in.
