RSVP like a VIP in these editor-approved party looks that will take you to New Year's Eve and beyond.

We don’t know about you, but when celebration season rolls around, the best part about receiving an invite to something is having an excuse to dress up. From Christmas lunches, to work functions and New Years’ parties, there are countless opportunities over the coming weeks to bring a bit of drama into your wardrobe. And while there’s no one-size-fits all for party dressing – unless there’s a specific dress code that is – we sure do love bringing in a bit of sparkle.  

Be it a bedazzled LBD, a ruffled mini dress or a golden accoutrement, we’ve rounded up just a few of the glamorous sartorial additions you might want to consider for your party wardrobe this season.
