70 Stylish Party Dresses

From Metallic Mirror Gowns to Sparkling Celebration Dresses

— December 17, 2014 — Fashion
If you're looking for some glitz and glamour, this roundup of holiday party dresses provides great inspiration for what to wear to Christmas office parties, New Year's Eve as well as upscale family get-togethers this season.

One example that really dazzles is the Disco Ball Dress by Coyote Peyote, making it so that you're literally lighting up the room when you enter by helping to bounce light around. On the theme of light-up dresses, there's also the LumiGram's Luminous Dress, which is made from fiber optic fabrics to emit a colorful glow. For those who are looking for a less outrageous dress that will turn heads for all the right reasons, some great places to glean inspiration from include Killstar's lookbooks or the Vogue Taiwan December 2014 Let's Party editorial.
