One colourway dominated Emily’s winter sun wardrobe, being her signature chilli red hue. Over the course of the weekend, she sported the pigment in multiple forms, spanning halterneck bikinis to a slinky bodycon that neatly leaned into the writer’s romantic style.

The garment in question featured a midi length, thick straight straps, a figure-skimming construction and a gently scooped V-neck. The 33-year-old paired the number with some snakeprint heels and a matching red drawstring bag, housing her girls’ night essentials. A classic gold coiled chain added a touch of opulence to her chosen aesthetic.

Emily has been revelling in the red style moments as of late. Before the dawn of the new year, the Versace model wore a variety of scarlet shades, spanning leather hot pants to archival Jean Paul Gaultier dresses and knitted midi skirts and more.
