Wondering how to look fabulous at holiday parties this year? Take your fashion cues from some of today’s hottest celebrities.
And if you party a bit too hard, sometimes the best “morning after” makeup is a great pair of shades, like these Ralph Lauren beauties, that are perfect for sugar-coating your look.
Check out some of these great party looks for inspiration.
Emma Watson
Wearing a gold dress that sparkles is a great way to stand out. Notice how Emma keeps from looking like a tree ornament by keeping her accessories to a minimum. The matte black waistband and the black high heels compliment the sparkliness of her outfit without overwhelming the eye.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried knows her legs are one of her best features, so she shows them off in this great mini-tux. A mini-tux may seem a little androgynous, but for smaller framed girls, it’s a great way to show off how girly you are! Keeping your hair up and in a girly bun keep this outfit from becoming too “mannish”.
Kristen Stewart
Nude is in this holiday season, as Kristen Stewart easily shows on the red carpet. Wearing a nude dress is a great way to show off how great YOU look, not just the dress.
Ellen Page
Ellen Page shows her holiday spirit in this mint green wrap dress. A crepe style dress in a holiday color is the perfect way to show off your holiday spirit, and your hot holiday bod.
Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman’s blue bubble dress is a definite way to stand out a holiday party. By pairing the blue dress with understated metallic purple heels, Natalie has drawn out a great holiday style. Plus, the yellow purse adds a pop of color that is sure to be noticed.
Selena Gomez
This lacy backless ballerina dress is an amazing way to show yourself off at a holiday party. While you may feel a bit like a frosted cake, you’ll look so delicious that everyone will want a chance to speak to you!
Angelina Jolie
Understated dresses have their place at a holiday party too. Angelina’s floor length black dress is a formal way to celebrate the holidays, but her fluffy white sweater on top adds fun to the outfit!
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz went with a gorgeous blue feathered skirt dress that compliments both her eyes and figure. If you wear something similar, you’re sure to stand out as the best dressed at the party!
Amanda Bynes
Understated and lovely, this short tux dress makes Amanda look like the young girl we all picture her as. Wearing something youthful and delicious like this to a party is a great way to look good and feel comfortable all night long.
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde looks like she popped right out of a Christmas party from the fifties! The solid top matched with a polka dot skirt give her the appearance of apple pie, real Christmas trees, and a swanky Cadillac in the two car garage. Wearing an outfit that throws back to a simpler time is a great way to stand out at a holiday party.
Jennifer Hudson
Sparkly and skin tight are two of the hottest trends to follow during the holiday’s this year. Jennifer Hudson’s block print dress makes her look like the biggest star around – and you will too when you wear something just as bedazzling and awesome as her!
Going ice skating or attending a daytime holiday event outdoors? A great pair of sunglasses like the Dolce&Gabbana D 2192-338 adds the perfect finishing touch to a gorgeous short faux fur jacket and super soft scarf.
