Trend Alert: Do the samba!
Bold, dynamic and completely dramatic, the colour adds oomph to your look no matter how it is worn.

Although emerald was declared the Pantone colour of 2013 right at the beginning of the year, there is another colour that seems to be getting a vast amount of attention from celebrities all around the globe — Samba Red.
Bold, dynamic and completely dramatic, the colour adds oomph to your look no matter how it is worn.
However, wear it only if you have the confidence to carry its sex appeal. Just like the peppy Brazilian dance, the colour radiates energy, passion and enthusiasm.
Hence, it is best suited for people who are relatively more expressive and spirited.
Be it Bollywood’s sultry babes or Hollywood’s sexy divas, everybody seems to have conveniently resorted to this hot hue for the red carpet.
Country sweetheart Taylor Swift looked breathtaking in a red Scarlett O’Hara gown and we loved how she paired it with a deep, intense samba pout! Recently, actor Lea Michele was the vivacious lady in red at L’Oréal’s Women of Worth event, in a festive Dolce and Gabbana lace dress.
B-town hotties aren’t far behind their international counterparts. At the recent Hello! Hall of Fame awards, long-legged beauty Deepika Padukone stopped a million hearts when she stepped foot in the room looking surreal in a one-shoulder samba red gown with beau Ranveer Singh on her arm.
So, if you have the guts, go fearless with this scorching, fiery shade and sizzle with style. It isn’t necessary to flaunt it from head-to-toe — add it in subtly with pieces like a cropped blazer, a lip shade or a pair of sexy heels, and you will surely light up the room.
