Melissa Gorga Dazzles on New Year's Eve in a Sparkly Dress with a Thigh-High Slit

Melissa Gorga celebrated many exciting occasions in 2023, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member made those moments shine a little brighter with jaw-dropping sparkly fashion choices.

For The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 reunion, which kicked off with Part 1 in May, Melissa donned a head-turning hooded blue glittering dress by Walter Mendez. Four months later, she hit New York Fashion Week in a stunning sparkly aqua top that she paired with a matching ankle-length skirt. Weeks after that event, Melissa attended a family wedding in a plunging embellished white gown.

So, of course, for Melissa's last big moment of the year, she opted for a show-stopping shimmering look. "Let’s get it 2024," Melissa captioned a January 1 Instagram post that showed her New Year's Eve celebration in Aruba. "DAY 1 STARTS TODAY. Make the changes, push harder, compete with yourself. Happy New Year everyone."

In the photos, Melissa looked gorgeous in a sequined midi-dress ($225) from her boutique, Envy. The tank-style dress had a scoop neck, a leg slit, and a low scooped back.  Melissa completed the look with a watch, bracelets, and layered necklaces, and wore her hair in a braid.

Melissa's daughter, Antonia Gorga, also donned a shimmering look for the night, including a semi-sheer silver top with a matching mini skirt.

In addition to her New Year's Eve look, Melissa has been rocking a slew of stunning vacation styles while with her family in Aruba. On December 27, Melissa took to her Instagram Stories to show a couple of her looks, including a multicolored strapless bandeau bikini top and matching high-cut bikini bottoms as she went for a swim and, later, a leaf-print maxi dress ($299) from Envy as she enjoyed a night out.
