Head-to-Toe Holiday Looks

The holiday season brings plenty of opportunities to show off your personal style. This is your chance to dazzle! We’ve put together some head-to-toe looks to get you party and event-ready.

The Dress: Metallic gold polka dots dance across a black ground, giving this A-line dress from Vince Camuto a luxe look. The pleated skirt flatters most figures while the short length appeals to your flirty, fun side.

The Rest: Play up the metallic shine of this dress with the sophisticated goldtone pave drop earrings from Vince Camuto. Go sky-high with these Dyvine T-strap platform pumps from Steve Madden that visually lengthen your legs. Smooth any figure flaws with Tight-End shaping tights from Spanx and comfortably shape and slim  your tummy, hips, thighs and rear.

Add some starlet glamour to your look with the powder pearl eye trio from Bobbi Brown. As the night goes on, add a little coverage with a coordinating Vince Camuto feather caplet with red carpet-worthy black faux feathers.

Shop the look: Vince Camuto A-line Dress, Vince Camuto Goldtone Pave Drop Earrings, Steve Madden Dyvine T-strap Platform Pumps, Spanx Tight-End Shaping Tights, Bobbi Brown Powder Pearl Eye Trio and Vince Camuto Feather Caplet.

The Dress: This JS Boutique dress outshines the Christmas lights at the office cocktail party with dazzling sequins.  Royal blue glitters with every step, mimicking the beauty of a starry night sky.

The Rest: Old friends silver and blue meet when you wear these Julie pumps from Gianni Bini with allover glitter. Continue the theme with deco-inspired blue and silver drop earrings from Cezanne.

Emphasize eyes with the help of MAC’s Fluidline gel liner, Lancome’s Definicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara and Bobbi Brown’s Caviar & Oyster shadow collection.

Shop the Look: JS Boutique Dress, Gianni Bini Julie Pumps, Cezanne Drop Earrings, MAC Fluidline Gel LinerLancome Definicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara and Bobbi Brown Caviar & Oyster Shadow Collection.

The Dress: Lustrous floral beading and chiffon combine to create this resplendent gown from Adrianna Papell. A one-shoulder silhouette creates drama, while a draped sleeve adds timeless grace. The long, slightly flared skirt mirrors classic movie star elegance.

The Rest: Glisten down to the floor with these jewel sandals from Gianni Bini with rhinestone accents. Keep the silver sparkle going with Nadri crystal teardrop earrings.

Start the night off right with a glowing face to match your dress with MAC Prep + Prime Skin lotion.  Color Design Infinite 24-Hour Longwear Eye Shadow from Lancome gives you shimmering eyes without the worry of turning into a pumpkin at midnight. This luminous color stays true for 24 hours without creasing. Play up your pout with vibrant color from Dior with this Limited Edition Diorific lipstick — it even comes in a luxe vintage-inspired gold case.

Shop the Look: Adrianna Papell Gown, Gianni Bini Jewel Sandals, Nadri Crystal Teardrop Earrings, MAC Prep+ Prime Skin Lotion, Lancome Color Design Infinite 24-Hour Longwear Eye Shadow and Dior Limited Edition Diorific Lipstick.

The Tunic: Not all holiday events require a fancy dress and heels. For these occasions, you’ll want to look your best in casual style. This vibrant, cozy Eileen Fisher cowlneck tunic in rich terra cotta pairs perfectly with the sleek and modern NYDJ Janice Jeggings in black.

The Rest: A row of studs evoke edgy shimmer on these equestrian-inspired Billie boots from Arturo Chiang. Just as sequins and beads enchant on an ornate dress, these studs complete the casual look with style.

Your face will stay flawless all day with Double Wear Stay-in-Place makeup from Estee Lauder. Its lightweight and comfortable formula stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity and nonstop activity. Add a pop of color with the high shine of Origins Liquid Lip Color and high-potency hues of the Limited Edition Fade Resistant Gloss Shine nail polish from Lancome Vernis in Love.

Shop the Look: Eileen Fisher Cowlneck Tunic, NYDJ Janice Jeggings, Arturo Chiang Billie Boots, Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup, Origins Liquid Lip Color and Lancome Vernis in Love Limited Edition Fade Resistant Gloss Shine Nail Polish.
