Five MOB-Worthy Red Dresses

Five MOB-Worthy Red Dresses

We've noted an increasing number of mothers of the bride dressed in red, and we're here for it—what better way to embody love and strength? And if you're worried red is too bold for MOB, check out these gorgeous moms for inspiration:

MOB Rowena wore a dress by Frascara.

MOB Betsy also dressed in Frascara.

 

Ann wore Akris for her daughter's wedding in Barcelona.


We're seeing red work well in two scenarios: a black tie wedding party with bridesmaids in black or a vibrant, maximalist wedding party where color is encouraged. Of course it's a good idea to make sure the bride and groom are on board, and if they are, don't worry for a second about red appearing too bold. Make your statement! 

The timing is perfect, too: Red was the color of the night at the 2025 Emmy Awards—the trend was set from the moment Selena Gomez stepped on the red carpet in a scarlet red halter neck caped column gown by Louis Vuitton.


Emmy winner Cristin Miloti, star of The Penguin, had another memorable red moment in a custom Danielle Frankel strapless gown. 

 

Mariska Hargitay went deep red in a strapless corset bodice gown in velvet. 

Get the look in these red dresses:
