10. The Red Dress

A cherry red dress is a classic holiday staple, and even more so after seeing how flawless Kate Middleton looks in the rich color! The Duchess of Cambridge rocked a true red dress with a full skirt that reached her ankles and an asymmetrical neckline. She stayed true to one color palette for a highly sophisticated look and topped the look with a red clutch and matching pumps. To add some holiday glitz, Kate added a sparkling broach and swept her hair into an elegant updo.

8. The Tuxedo Dress

Reese Witherspoon’s silk tuxedo dress from this year’s Emmy awards has the potential to be the perfect formal holiday look! Despite not being the classic holiday shades of green, red or metallic, the rich jewel-toned blue is a great and unexpected alternative for the holidays. The cut of this tuxedo dress is highly flattering and the silk texture is definitely suitable for the holidays. To add a pop of color and classic holiday glitz, top your makeup with a classic red lip like Reese did!

Selena Gomez definitely knows the key to a winning holiday look and rocked a matching red skirt and jacket set that was totally glamorous. Although her mini skirt may not be suitable for all climates, it could easily be weather-proofed with a pair of tights or over-the-knee boots. The sparkling floral embellishment on this set is a clear match for the holiday season! She paired the look with a simple and sophisticated black button-up top and a pair of strappy black sandals.

2. Winter Whites

A winter white outfit is a guaranteed showstopper at a holiday party! The color is unexpected and one that not many will opt for which means wearing a look like this is a great way to stand out and try something new. To achieve the look, try a white pantsuit with a silver necklace like Vanessa Hudgens. To add a glamour factor, the star added a white blazer draped over her shoulders and paired the look with a bold yellow bag. To add a holiday twist, a red bag or shoe would be the perfect seasonal touch on this winter white look.
