Stars including Demi Lovato, Mickey Guyton and Susan Lucci made bold entrances on Wednesday night at the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection Concert in New York. The annual benefit seeks to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease in women.

Rouge hues are still in style this year after labels like Valentino, Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead set the trend during the fall 2023 runway season. At the Golden Globes earlier this month, celebrities including Selena Gomez, Ayo Edebiri and Florence Pugh opted for shades of red, confirming that the trend is here to stay.
