If you’re a little late on getting your 2025 rebrand into full gear, never fear, the inspo you’ve been waiting for is right here. The color on everybody’s lips is black cherry! Why is black cherry going to pop off in 2025? As various trend forecasters have foretold, 2025 is going to be the year of standing on business when chaos strikes, indulging in abundance, and looking grown and sexy while doing it (okay, fine, I added that part). What else is a girl to do when the universe is clearly out for blood besides resurrecting herself as an insatiable vampiress?
Black cherry is the color that will summon the dark feminine energy you need to banish bullshit this year and let grand romantic gestures win. This deep, luscious red screams decadence, passion, and spicy strength — like the world’s sexiest battle paint. So, if you, like me, are looking to dabble on the dark side this year, this guide on the best black cherry items to shop in 2025 is a great first step.

Will black cherry look good on your skin?
The best thing about this color is it’s universally flattering. The deep juiciness of black cherry will play well with pretty much every “season,” from fair-skinned pink bases to deeply melanated skin tones. Unlike harsh a stop sign red, this oxblood adjacent hue reflects red, black, purple, and brown all at once, bringing something for everyone.
The Best Black Cherry Beauty Items To Shop
Glossier Black Cherry Balm Dotcom

The TikTok viral Shark FlexStyle is available in limited-edition Black Cherry for Valentine’s Day. It’s basically a dupe for the crazy expensive Dyson Airwrap in a much trendier color.
