Celebrity Inspired Cocktail Dresses For NYE

by Katrina Mitzeliotis

New Year’s Eve is the perfect night to get all dressed up. Regardless of where you’re headed, it always feels like everyone opts for a higher heel, a shorter hemline and a little more sparkle for the fun occasion. If you’re still searching for the perfect party dress, I suggest drawing inspiration from some of your favorite stars. From lots of sequins to ombre and lace, there are so many different trends to embrace. While during the holiday season you have to be conscious about dressing appropriate in front of your family and colleagues, NYE is all about standing out and letting your personal sense of style shine through, so have some fun and don’t be afraid to try a new red carpet trend!

Sequins

For me New Years Eve is all about sparkle — and you can never shine too bright! While the trend is a quintessential holiday staple, it’s also been popular on the red carpet, with everyone from Celine Dion to Katy Perry showing off the trend. If you are weary of trying out the look, I recommend sticking to a classic silhouette in a neutral color. Remember to keep the accessories to a minimum so the focus stays on the frock.

Lace

From Reese Witherspoon to Kristen Stewart, we’re seeing the feminine trend on a slew of stars of all ages. Personally, I really like the look because you will definitely find an opportunity to rewear a lace dress. From long-sleeved dresses to fit-and-flare silhouettes, the lace options are endless. For NYE, I suggest going all out in either a strapless or one-shoulder dress.

Cutouts

So many stylish A-listers have embraced showing skin on the red carpet. While it could be considered a tricky trend, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a tasteful way to show off — and there’s no better time to try it out than on New Year’s Eve! Take a cue from stars like Emily Blunt, Isla Fisher and Anne Hathaway and try out the look in a sexy yet chic way. I love the way the neckline on this dress allows you to show off the trendy look while the classic, ruched silhouette keeps it classy. If you opt for side cutouts, a fit-and-flare silhouette is best to balance out the sexy vibe.

Ombre

NYE is all about standing out, and if you want to experiment with a new look, I recommend wearing an ombre cocktail dress. On the red carpet we’ve seen stars like Ashley Greene and Christina Aguilera show off the style. Not only was this blue hue so hot for fall, but it looks so glamorous.

Regardless of what you decide to wear on New Year’s Eve, be sure to find a dress that you feel comfortable in — that way your confidence will shine right through!

Semi-Formal Holiday Styles Fit for Every Fashionista

by Cassandra Morris

The holiday season is officially here, and so are the invites to holiday parties and dances. Don’t be caught without something fabulous to wear! Indulge in a gorgeous cranberry taffeta frock, have the perfect little black dress at the ready, and make your grand entrance with just the right amount of sparkle in these holiday ensembles.

The most festive frock

A cranberry-colored frock is always appropriate for the holidays, and this one is absolutely stunning. I love the sparkle that lines the bust, but the real draw to this dress is the oversized bow at the waist. It adds texture, detail, and the gentle reminder that you should be the receiver of at least one awesome gift this year!

The ultimate LBD

This fierce number is a trendy twist on the tried-and-true little black dress. The lace overlay and subtle sequins are festive enough for any holiday occasion, and are totally in this year. This dress pairs perfectly with opaque black tights and a cropped cardigan if the temps are too cold for bare skin.

A touch of glitz

Let it snow! This winter white sweetheart dress is flecked with glittering gold, and will make you look like the ultimate snow angel. A subtle pair of gold hoops, a few thin bracelets and nude heels will tie this look together for any formal event.

An evening gem

The sun sets super early this time of year, but that hardly upsets your party schedule. It just means you can start wearing your sequin-packed dresses a little earlier in the evening than usual. This navy number is full of dainty ruffles and extra sparkle that will make you stand out at any holiday dance or New Year’s celebration.

Accessories that glitter

If your holiday budget is a little tight because of all those gifts you’re buying, save a buck by updating your favorite dress with a sweet accessory or two. All-over sparkle heels or a bling-encrusted clutch can add instant holiday cheer to any outfit!
