If there’s ever a time to go all out with your attire, it’s during the holidays. Festive gatherings call for over-the-top elements like crystal embellishments, dainty rosettes and bows, glowing pearls, and lots of sequins. Whether I’m attending a low-key dinner party or a Great Gatsby–esque gala, I will always show up in a pretty dress that has one or more of these adornments. Even better if it’s one of the new finds from Net-a-Porter’s party edit. Fashion people know that this online retailer has the most elite curation of seasonal, on-trend pieces from cult-favorite labels and up-and-coming designers alike. If you’re looking for the crème de la crème of luxury partywear, you’ve hit the jackpot. Enjoy my selection of dresses and holiday wardrobe staples below.
