sequin dresses

If you are on the hunt for a holiday dress with an extraordinary wow factor, look no further than Anne Hathaway's latest red-carpet look. The brunette beauty styled a sequin Nina Ricci dress with gold Stella McCartney shoes at the Museum of the Moving Image in NYC. As if Anne's sparkling separates weren't dazzling enough, she took her flawless look to new heights via a mirrored Jill Milan box clutch, brilliant studs, and a few diamond bracelets. Re-create this glamorous look by pairing one of these eye-catching sequin dresses with strappy gold sandals and a mirrored clutch for a holiday soiree or take it to the max with this flirty sequin Rebecca Taylor mini ($277, originally $395) for New Year's Eve.

Taylor Swift had us doing a double take as she stepped onto the red carpet in a dazzling Zuhair Murad minidress adorned with floral embellishments and gold beadwork at the American Music Awards in LA. She accessorized her metallic look with shimmering Jimmy Choo sandals ($775), gold floral studs, and her signature red nail polish. Re-create Taylor's shining and sexy look by pairing her exact sandals with a sparkling minidress and gold studs for date night or test-drive these Chinese Laundry sandals ($60) for a more budget-friendly option.

One of the most fabulous Cannes Film Festival parties this year was the Gucci and Vanity Fair bash attended by Naomi Watts, Jennifer Connelly, Salma Hayek, and more. And while all the ladies looked fabulous in their Gucci frocks, Naomi stole the spotlight in her pale gray one-of-a-kind sequin-and-feather Gucci dress, which she paired with gold satin Gucci ankle-strap peep toes. Naomi's ensemble is an ultra-chic throwback to the '20s and one that's dying to be re-created at your next special event. Start with this Sue Wong feather-embellished cocktail dress ($530) and match it with Naomi's exact Gucci sandals but in leather ($625). If you prefer darker hues, try this equally flirty 28.5 black fringe dress ($632).
