To sparkle through New Year’s Eve, look no further than fall and resort’s standout paillette-emblazoned, sequin-covered and sparkling, embroidered frocks, as seen here from the likes of Jonathan Simkhai, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Balmain. From cocktail shakers to sweeping gowns, these brands are proposing standout moments à la eye-catching, luxurious shimmer and shine.
Equally alluring are the season’s playful offerings, such as Jonathan Anderson’s artful, holiday-red-hued bustier stretch jersey dress with resin-coated molded lip bustier for Loewe, or Area’s lurex tweed minidress with festive embroidered rainbow crystal bow detail.
Power dressing is back, expressed across the global fashion week runways, with jubilant colors and fiercely feminine silhouettes. To channel this look for holiday parties, see Versace’s sultry stretch jersey red mididress with sheer, signature Atelier Versace corset. Khaite’s Catherine Holstein — recently named Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards — also proposes the idea for multiple occasions with her timeless and elegant mustard-hued Uma dress with corset-like bodice.
