* Scarlet red in [[Usefulnotes/Kimono Kimonese]] stands for sexuality and vigour of youth, being a suitable background colour for a young girl's ''furisode'' or the wedding costume's overcoat ''uchikake'', as well as accessories -- however, red ''underkimono'' has been downright scandalous for many a decade, and the only people who get away with wearing such are geisha and such.

**Rhett pulled the red dress out and told her to play the part. "Nothing modest or matronly will do tonight," is the line, I believe. The above scene about the debutaunte ball was definitely never in GWTW.

* When Rita Skeeter writes stories about Hermione's "taste for famous wizards" in HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire, Ron comments that the articles make Hermione out to be a "scarlet woman". When Hermione laughs at his word usage, Ron admits that's what his mom calls them.

Most of this has to do with the slinkiness of the dress itself. However, red is also the color most commonly associated with sex and passion, so it echoes this woman's sexuality all that more. Although she does not have to be an actual scarlet woman. Plus, of course, the person wearing the red dress is automatically [[{{Gundam}} THREE TIMES SEXIER]] than a person wearing a less flamboyant color.

** The movie version had a scene where she scandalizes polite society by showing up to Ashley's birthday party (after being caught kissing him) in a revealing red dress, but that doesn't sound like the same scene.

** However this might just be a more generic instance of {{Colour Coded For Your Convenience}} since in the commentary [[WordOfGod M.N.S.]] states that the color red was used throughout the movie to indicate any times the ghosts were "influencing" the real world - basically any scene that had ghosts involved had some red.
