As the festivities heat up and the invites roll in, we’re often confronted with the realization of our style choices we’ve made throughout the year and their resulting holiday shortcomings. This revelation could cause a breakdown. Not this year. Celebrities and their stylists have taken to the stage as inspiration with their enthusiastic approach to fashion. From embellished numbers to textured wonders, feel free to scrape and recreate these celebrity looks for the holidays as the occasion calls for.
These celebrity holiday looks will serve plenty of wardrobe purposes this season…
#1. Tracee Ellis Ross
Knitwear has endured the prevailing fads that have gone back and forth and caught the attention of enthusiasts at the slightest rendition. Tracee Ellis Ross understands how to transform these types of timeless pieces into trendy versions of themselves. For a recent appearance, she paired an oversized cable knit sweater with wide-hem trousers for an outstanding result. If you recreate it, you can style it as is or wear it over a cozy dress and top it off with boots for an evening concert. Grandma would be proud, all those decades of crocheting and singing while making the holiday sweater you refused to wear has finally paid off.
#2. Fantasy Taylor
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Old is the new New. Those shoulder pads from the 80s are in high demand again, and you would do well to buy a pair. Fantasy shows how it’s done in an Annakiki zebra print blazer with padding, paired with a Skims bodysuit, mom jeans and zebra print heels. The look is a fusion of contemporary with classics and undoubtedly scored major points. This look works for most cool events this holiday – from an art exhibition to a coffee date.
#3. Taraji P. Henson
It would be a crime not to acknowledge this Taraji P. Henson’s recent slay roulette. Yes, it’s a serious style violation. The actress is on a roll, dishing out combinations and saving us all from menacing style ruts. This time, a snatched embellished three-piece Solangel suit takes center stage in an ensemble enlivened with Bulgari jewelry. Wear this to a friend’s birthday party and everyone will be asking for style lessons.
#4. Eva Longoria
Pumpkin isn’t a hue we value outside of the fleeting annual moments of Halloween, but Eva Longoria wears it with pleasure. She played this Stella McCartney song at the Critics Choice Celebration of Cinema and TV. She kept her makeup minimal and her hair back, elevating the look with a crystal-studded clutch that mirrored the embellishment of her outfit. It’s wedding season, so here’s another holiday wedding guest outfit inspiration just for you.
#5. Cardi B
Plaid and denim have been saving lives since the beginning of time. It’s a casual celebrity look for the holidays that is suitable for the games or for lunch with friends. Cardi B served as great styling inspiration in a plaid cold-shoulder button-down shirt, paired with deconstructed denim boots and a Birkin bag. You can rock baggy jeans and swap the boots for chunky sneakers to emphasize the boyish fit.
#6. Marlo Hampton
Asymmetrical necklines and fur sleeves are as beautiful and confident as possible Marlo Hampton to always bring splendor to the ordinary. The reality star attended an event wearing a gray two-piece suit with a fur-sleeved blouse, an asymmetrical neckline and a button-up skirt. You can turn this into a luxury product launch and add color to the conversation with your accessories.
#7. Jordyn Bos
You would think that by this time the feather inclusions would have softened, but the opposite is true. Do not you believe me? Look closely Jordyn Woods Abyss dress reiterates the relevance of feathered details. The flirty high-low hem juxtaposed the conservative tortoiseshell neckline for beautiful cohesion. A chic white dress will never go out of style, so replicate this look for a baby shower this weekend.
#8. Quinta Brunson
A fitted midi dress with puffed sleeves is a church service favorite of the city girl who drops by her childhood country house for the holidays. Moreover, burgundy is an unconventional, festive color that maintains balance. Quinta Brunson used the two in a Rosario song for the film premiere of Color Purple. If you’re replicating this for a church service, choose a dress without a cutout at the chest.
#9. Amina Muaddi
Shades of gray are ubiquitous during the holidays. They fit perfectly with the cold weather and create a relaxed atmosphere. Amina Muaddi was in varying shades of gray at the Pradasphere in Shanghai in a two-piece suit with a crew-neck sweater and wide-leg trousers, both with feather detailing at the hem. If you wear relaxed shades like gray, opt for bold and daring beauty choices. For example, a dark lippie tends towards gothic and a striking red lipstick evokes a confident appearance. If you go shopping this weekend, take advantage of this coordination and it will not let you down.
#10. Taraji P. Henson in velvet
What’s a celebrity holiday look without a sassy velvet minidress? Taraji P. Henson wore an off-the-shoulder one adorned with shimmering floral appliqués around the neckline for a sassy flair. This is a typical party dress, but far from cliché. When rocking a velvet dress, remember that colors like black, red and purple give it an extra funk. Now you have your lockdown Christmas party look.
