Don't Miss:

We loved how Minka Kelly accented her beige ensemble with a pop of red nail polish at the opening of Valentino‘s Rodeo Drive store in Beverly Hills, so we caught up with the actress to get the inside scoop on her high-octane mani! Kelly lacquered up in Essie‘s Geranium, a bold poppy. “I thought it was a fun, fresh color to put with the gold accents in my dress,” she told InStyle exclusively. “If it were winter, I’d go for a more burgundy color, but I thought this was perfect for spring.” We agree!

Did you wear red on Valentine’s Day? The color of love is fit for any time of year, as shown by Minka Kelly’s bright dress—which was featured in our Look of the Day!—designed by Misha Nonoo. “Just let it be the main talking point,” the designer told InStyle.com of how to wear the hue. “The simpler the better. I think it’s very chic to wear a pop of red, like a red blouse with neutral trousers.” As for seeing Kelly in one of her designs—just days after winning Fashion Group International’s coveted Rising Star Award—Nonoo was thrilled. “She styled it in a very classic way,” the designer said. “The nude heel made her legs go on forever, and the red looked great with her brunet hair.” Agreed! Tell us: Do you like to wear red?
