Dressed to Thrill: The Social Diva Guide to Holiday Party Wear
A Social Diva can always light up a room with her sparkling smile and infectious personality. But this holiday season, it won’t just be her pearly whites and delightful charms that get all the attention. That killer holiday party get-up she’s donning will being vying for center stage as well. Check out some of these winter trend-worthy (and Social Diva-approved) party duds that are sure to set the room on fire…
Girly Girl Diva – Lace, ribbons and ruffles are all the rage this season, making it the perfect time to feature your uber-feminine side. So if you’re feeling femme, try this silky Escada Ruffled Dress. It has just the right amount of flounce, but the cut and the neckline make it more sex-kitten than Hello Kitty.
Disco Diva – Unaware that sequins have made a comeback? So, like, what’s the address of that rock you live under? Sequins are IT this season, and what better way to celebrate the holidays than by channeling a little bit of tinsel into your ensemble? If you’re afraid you’ll end up looking like Columbia from Rocky Horror, just remember that the key to wearing sequins is to stick to muted metallics or black. This Cynthia Steffe dress (with a super-flattering ballerina neckline), and this paillette tank dress from Victoria’s Secret (with a super-affordable price tag) are perfect examples of how to do sequins the Social Diva way.
Rainbow Bright Diva – The bold colors that showed up in accessory lines for fall have found their way into the dress category this winter. Bright hues like cobalt blue, royal purple and fuchsia are heating up the typically drab winter palette – so drop that LBD and try this cobalt blue, princess-seamed mini dress from Vera Wang Lavender Label, this royal purple satin strapless dress from Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, or this fuchsia strapless bustier dress from Stella McCartney instead.
Heavy Diva Metal - Metallic is one of the strongest trends this winter. The sparkling fad is showing up on everything from leather handbags & shoes to fantastic fabrics. Gunmetal gray, silver, gold and even bronze have been prominent since fall, but if you haven’t gotten on the bandwagon yet, there has never been a better time to become a true metal-head.
Blondie’s do it best in silver or gunmetal, so we suggest this tiered shift dress from Cynthia Rowley for your holiday soiree. And we love this vintage gold pleated strapless dress from 3.1 Phillip Lim for all brunette and redheaded Divas.
One more thing - Good news for Divas who live in cold climates! Thick, black opaque tights happen to be the trendy choice to pair with party dresses this season. It’s a theatrical look that’s not for everyone, but we dig the idea of looking fab while staying warm.
