    No, this is not correct, if you want to add style to an element, you have options:

    Inline style like how you do first,

    Internal style defined in the section of an HTML page, within a <style> element.

    External style add a link to it in the <head> section of HTML page

    In your case you want to use Internal style so you have to move your style element to the <head> section.

    The correct way:

    <head>
 <style>
      div.iconred {
         flex: 0.8;
      }
 </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="iconred">
          
    </div>
</body>

    <div class="icon red" style="flex: 0.8">

    That div has two different classes: icon and red.

    In CSS you used div.iconred which indicates an element with a single class, the class iconred.

    So you actually should use div.icon.red as it then looks for a div element with both the classes icon and red.

    <head>
  <style>
    div.icon.red {
      flex: 0.8
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="icon red"></div>
</body>

    The <style> tag has to be always placed within the head element. With the deprecation of the scope attribute, it is no longer valid to place it within the body.
