Monochrome Monday: The Ruby Red Edition

Ruby Red isn’t a colour you wear, it’s a colour that wears you. Striking, unapologetic, and endlessly magnetic, it’s the shade that refuses to blend into the background. Somewhere between fire and velvet, ruby carries heat and authority in equal measure - the kind of hue that can turn swimwear into an event, tailoring into armour, and accessories into instant centrepieces.

This week’s edit proves it. From Espace Meld’s sculptural gowns dripping in texture to Zimmermann’s bikini that brings couture attitude to the shoreline, Marzook’s fan clutch that feels more jewel than bag, and Khaite’s razor-sharp pumps in oxblood leather — Ruby Red plays every register without losing its intensity. Worn head-to-toe or as a flash in the details, ruby knows how to hold a room.

This Monochrome Monday, Ruby Red is not just a shade - it’s the scene.

Be Indie | Pomme d’amour Set

A cherry-red knit splashed with green florals, this co-ord proves ruby doesn’t need to be formal to stand out. Comfortable enough for lounging but bold enough for stepping out, it takes casualwear and makes it arresting.

Farah Beitelmal | Babouches Granada

Classic babouches reimagined in crocodile-embossed red leather. Grounding yet flamboyant, they show how ruby can live in everyday staples without losing drama.

Espace Meld | Look 6

Texture meets saturation in this gown, where Ruby Red is layered with threads, beading and movement. It’s not quiet luxury - it’s loud craftsmanship.

Zimmermann | Rhiannon Paisley Bikini

Red at the beach doesn’t need neon to demand attention. With intricate paisley and gold detailing, this bikini makes ruby look grown-up, glamorous and entirely unmissable.

Marzook | Cherry Fan Bag

A clutch that doubles as sculpture - Marzook’s fan bag in bold red turns accessories into architecture. Carried in hand or left on a table, it’s impossible not to notice.

Khaite | Sloan Pump

Oxblood leather and a golden buckle: Khaite’s Sloan Pump is ruby red in its most disciplined form. Sharp, sleek and powerful, it’s less about romance and more about authority.

Grei Studios | Silk Golden Abaya

Fluid silk in a deep ruby tone transforms this abaya into quiet drama. Effortless to wear, impossible to ignore.

Akaoui Jewelry | Collection 05

Ruby red stones caged in gold - Akaoui makes jewellery that feels ancient and futuristic all at once. More than accessories, they’re talismans.

Double A | The Attalea Jacket

Leather strips cut into a ruby red weave, this jacket turns tailoring into art. Architectural, rebellious and undeniably bold, it’s the piece that takes ruby from regal to radical.
