Romantic Ethereal Dramatic fashion

See Romantic Ethereal Dramatic (RED) fashion inspiration on Pinterest.

Like Romantic Ethereal Dramatic faces, RED fashion usually isn’t subtle.

The Romantic Ethereal Dramatic aesthetic exudes glamour, intensity, and otherworldliness. You can get endless—and surprisingly useful—RED inspiration from extravagant high fashion and red carpet gowns.

To look your best as an RED, you don’t have to literally wear underwear as outerwear. But you may find that some of your most harmonious styles are at least loosely lingerie-inspired.

Victoria’s Secret Angels?

Another reason calling the Romantic Ethereal Dramatic type the “Victoria’s Secret Angel” makes sense—it’s helpful for understanding RED faces.

Romantic Ethereal Dramatic faces appear conventionally sexy (Romantic), angelic (Ethereal), and modelesque (Dramatic, because Western models overwhelmingly have the Dramatic style essence).

So in theory, the Romantic Ethereal Dramatic face is the sort of face that looks extremely harmonious modeling (Dramatic) sexy lingerie (Romantic) while wearing angel wings (Ethereal).

And it’s not just in theory—the three most common essences for Victoria’s Secret model faces seem to be Romantic, Ethereal, and Dramatic. You definitely do see the other style essences among the models, but they tend to be less frequent.

So it’s hard to think of an archetype that better captures RED beauty.

Popular faces?

Not only do Romantic Ethereal Dramatics share a style type with many Victoria’s Secret Angels; they also share a type with supermodels like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell and beauty icons like Kim Kardashian.

So having the Romantic Ethereal Dramatic type in the modern era may feel a lot like winning the style essences jackpot.

And Romantic Ethereal Dramatic faces are breathtaking. Of all the style types, they’re flattered by the most elaborate, dressed-up fashion.

But there’s also real potential downsides to having this essence blend. Probably the most obvious—with their elaborate beauty, Romantic Ethereal Dramatics might feel most out-of-place, of all the types, in mainstream, highly casual fashion.

So Romantic Ethereal Dramatics who want to look their best but also want to look consistent with modernity and not like they’re “trying too hard” may have the hardest time out of all the types with figuring out what the heck to wear. They may find that they try very hard to seem like they aren’t trying too hard to manifest their essences, all three of which essentially embody putting effort into your look and trying-hardness.

Romantic Ethereal Dramatics absolutely can look harmonious in wearable fashion. But they may have to try harder than other types to seem like they aren’t trying hard.

Not that you should feel obligated to downplay the intensity of your essences to fit in with modern fashion. Some REDs might want to regularly embody the full elaborateness of their essences.

Villainous faces?

Like the Romantic Dramatic type, Romantic Ethereal Dramatic beauty can be intimidating. Romantic Ethereal Dramatic is even the essence blend of some of the most iconic cartoon Disney villians.

So Romantic Ethereal Dramatics may find that they can come off as unapproachable due to their glam, unique, and striking looks.

But context and the viewer matter a lot in determining whether a face feels intimidating. What one person perceives as imposing or frightening, another person might perceive as striking or awe-inspiring. So it’s not definite that you’ll seem unapproachable as an RED.

Real women?

Do only supermodels and famous actresses have the RED type?

Definitely not. I’ve had several beautiful Style Analysis clients with this type. Romantic Ethereal Dramatic is the essence blend of many ultra-famous models, actresses, and icons, but it’s also the essence blend of many gorgeous real women.
