FRENCHMEN CLIMAX Red Alert

As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, fashion-forward celebrants at Frenchmen Climax demonstrated that style traditions remain powerfully alive in contemporary culture. The longstanding custom of wearing red for good fortune—symbolizing luck, love, and prosperity in the coming year—was prominently displayed throughout the festivities, though many attendees confessed their choices were equally influenced by aesthetic appeal.

Tuesday Style Fashion captured the sartorial elegance of the evening, documenting not only the predominant crimson hues but also the emerging trend of soft, off-white tones. The latter choice aligned remarkably with Pantone’s recently announced 2026 Color of the Year: 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, described as a gentle, airy neutral that embodies serenity and new beginnings.

Among the standout appearances, entrepreneur Adrianna Bryan presented a floral interpretation of the red tradition, while Tashi Nailz World owner Tsahai Douglas incorporated bold red accents into her bejeweled ensemble. The white trend manifested elegantly through Live and Direc Production Director Cheryl Peart, who selected an ivory lace suit, and Select Brands Category Manager Kedish Suckram alongside Kloset Klutch principal Naketa Hosang, who both opted for sophisticated all-white outfits.

Partygoer Kadian Samuels embraced the festive spirit in a red mini dress from Monokini Collection, while Scotia Wealth Marketing Manager Simone Hull made a striking impression in vibrant crimson. Artiste Tosh Alexander channeled confidence in a body-hugging Babyboo creation, and National Commercial Bank Investor Relations Manager Belinda Williams consciously chose white to symbolize her clean slate approach to the new year.
