Emily Ratajkowski is already wearing the biggest dress trend for fall—and it’s available to shop now.

No, we don’t want summer to be over either, and it will be here for a bit longer. But still: Fall will come. And that’s why we love to start shopping for trend pieces in August that are sure to still be totally hot in the following season. It seems Ratajkowski probably sees it the same way.

The model was just spotted in New York City walking her dog, but it was not her cute four-legged friend that directly attracted our attention. No, it was that Ratajkowski is already wearing a dress trend that will be huge this fall.

It’s not the cut of Ratajkowski’s dress but its color: a bright red. We saw this in the collections of the designers for fall-winter 2023 strikingly often—from Alexander McQueen and Gucci to Prada and Zadig & Voltaire. Reason enough, therefore, to appoint it already as the trending color for the upcoming season.

It’s a stark counter-trend to the recently celebrated “quiet luxury” hype, which favors more muted and neutral shades. Of course, red is anything but inconspicuous, as Ratajkowski’s look shows. The color can be worn—as the model does here—in an allover look, like a dress or a suit. But if you like it a little softer, you can do individual accents in the form of bright red accessories.

A red dress like Emily Ratajkowski’s can be an amazing confidence boost. And all the better that it doesn’t have to be designer, because the bright color has already started conquering our favorite affordably priced stores. So it’s worth it to buy now and combine your red dress with sandals in summer. When fall comes, you can wear it with sneakers, ankle boots, or knee-high boots and layer a blazer on top.
