Seeing our favorite Latina celebrities in red gives us so much inspiration. Whether it's their red lipstick or their gown, there's just something about seeing one of our leading Latina ladies wearing the powerful and sexy color that makes us believe that we can conquer the world. The color red is often associated with passion, love, seduction, danger, power and strength–and it's often also linked to Latinas.
Stars like Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez and Thalía have stunned us with their choice of red dresses and gowns and reminded us that no other color makes us feel as confident, which is why we love wearing it. It's such a bold color that wearing it automatically means that all eyes will be on you. Of course, we're never ones to shy away from a little attention–in fact, many of us love it.
