If you can find the same tone red - go with those.

Basic Black is always acceptable - then you can add a shoe trinket that has some red in it. That's probably what I would do - black shoes with a fancy trinket thingy


something like these

You can do black, red or silver shoes with that dress but I would recommend black and strappy personally.

pesonally, I would go metalic, unless you're wearing a black wrap, and then I would go black.

Click on the slideshow to see lots of stars in red dresses and their footwear

Nikki....first let me say the dress is gorgeous!!! With your hair color and complextion you will be stunning!!!

Reds are almost impossible to match and the 'wrong' red will distract from the dress. As some have already mentioned...I would choose black, strappy and sexy! (Don't tell your mom I just said that!!) ;) If you do not find anything in black that you like then my second choice would be silver, strappy and sexy!

I know I'm older than dirt and you usually just see me in jeans at something horse related....but this is what I do in 'real' life.

Black and strappy!!!! Skip to shoe clips - they can come unattached really easily...

The PERFECT pair of strappy metallic would work as well, but it would depend on the shoe.

I happen to adore silver shoes. Try to find something with a satin finish. It looks really sharp with red.

I'd go with black and closed toes if you can manage, on account of the beer sludge.

I would personally pimp some silver or gold shoes with that dress. Black is good too but something really spectacularly shiny and a little unexpected is typically how I fly. While I'd love the gold, I probably wouldn't wear them because I don't where yellow gold jewelry by and large. Whatever you go with, the strappier the better in my book!
