The only surprising thing is all of the women are in red and all the men are in green. I would've expected at least one with the colors swapped. Perhaps they exist, and this was cherry-picked far harder than necessary.
It's old fashion sense. When you're trying to be more traditional, the men usually wear darker colors - notice that they're all wearing dark green. Somehow it highlights their masculinity. Most of the women are wearing bright red, to try to look more youthful. Darker colors on women either make them more sensual, or more maternal, and that uncertainty is why women were traditionally more careful with them.
I don't know why any of it works that way, but it does. The women who self-insert into these movies probably play at heterodoxy, but when it comes right down to it, it works on them. To quote RLM, "You may not have noticed, but your brain did." I'm certain whoever did the advertising was well aware of that.
