Party season is officially upon us, with what seems like a new event every night. While Christmas festivities may leave you terrified (and exhausted), it’s the perfect excuse to brush out the sequins, throw on some glitter and get the dancing shoes on. Whether you’re vibing a sequin dress or a velvet top, there isn’t one right way to do party dressing. You can find something wild in a vintage store, or give your go-to LBD a twist with some glitter tights. No matter the path you take, the point of party styling is to not hold back. We found some of the most show-stopping outfits that’ll help inspire your dream festive look, with an assist from our favourite red carpet and street style stars, of course.
So don’t even think of replying to those invites until you’ve shopped our edit of the season’s best party looks.
