’Tis the season for party dresses! The holiday bashes are currently in full swing, and this week, the best dressed stars were those who leaned into evening dressing. A-listers such as Florence Pugh, Ariana Grande, and Kim Kardashian all embraced glitz with their formal wear—and they chose sculptural silhouettes and rich textures to help further elevate their going-out frocks.
Shortened shapes or skin-bearing cutouts, for one, added a dash of spice to the mix. Kim Kardashian attended a holiday bash in Los Angeles wearing a red leather Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown, featuring grommets and cutouts for a sexier slant. In London, Daisy Edgar-Jones embraced green—another Christmasy hue!—in a mini one-shouldered Victoria Beckham dress. Another fan of the mini dress this week? Lily-Rose Depp, who continued to promote Nosferatu on the Jimmy Fallon Show in a short Chanel LBD, complete with a white scarf-draped back—an elegant touch.
The week’s more demure designs, meanwhile, shined just as well. On the Jennifer Hudson Show, Michelle Obama chose a silky Bottega Veneta dress paired with an oversized blazer overtop. In New York City, Kerry Washington slipped into a festive red Emilia Wickstead dress, paired with a merlot coat overtop. Her take on monochromatic dressing was just as delicious as a real glass of merlot.
