From Hailey Bieber’s manicures to the standout accessories at Australian Fashion Week, red has undeniably reigned supreme in 2024.
But next year, it’s all about a darker, sweeter, and slightly tart twist: cherry red.
According to Pinterest’s 2025 trend predictions, Gen Z and Millennials are leaning into the cherry aesthetic, embracing its moody allure in everything from makeup and menus to mood boards.
As someone who’s been on the cherry-red bandwagon all year, I’ve embraced this rich, versatile shade into every corner of my wardrobe.
Now, I’m sharing my top picks to inspire your own cherry-infused style.
