Ring in New Year’s Eve With These Celebrity-Inspired Looks
Dressing for New Year’s Eve is a chance to unleash your inner diva: It’s the year’s glitziest night, after all, and that calls for an overload of sequins, feathers, and metallics. But while dressing like a human disco ball is fun and all, it’s also tricky to do in a chic, refined way. You’re going for an elevated evening feel—anything else could veer into costume territory. Luckily, we have plenty of outfit inspiration on hand: Vogue is rounding up five stylish stars whose memorable going-out ensembles are worth recreating come December 31.
Some megawatt stars who made the cut? Looking back to the Studio 54 era (duh), the queen of disco Donna Summer performed in a shaggy white coat with an equally pristine dress underneath. (Remaking this all-white look in the dead of winter? It’s New Year’s Eve—all bets are off!) Another equally dazzling throwback is Cher in a bedazzled mesh top (by Bob Mackie) worn with a high-waisted skirt; it can be given a fresh update with a black bra underneath or, if the party is that bold, without one, too. If silver is the color of the night—a popular New Year’s Eve choice—guide your fashion senses to Britney Spears circa 2002, who did a sequin-covered dress with matching metallic accessories.
Some other recent hits include Kendall Jenner in a brazenly bright Versace slip dress; a loud print is fitting for the year’s most outré evening, so why not do it in a vintage designer way? Similarly, Rihanna made a compelling case for a cocktail dress in animal print—and where Riri goes, we’re always happy to follow.
