A
s the festivities catch on and the invites roll in, we are often met with the realization of our year-long style choices and their resultant deficiencies for the holidays. This epiphany could attract a cave-in. Not this year. Celebrities and their stylists have charged onto the scene as a source of inspiration with their enthusiastic approach to fashion. From embellished numbers to textured marvels, feel free to scrape and recreate these celebrity holiday looks to serve as occasion demands.
These celebrity holiday looks will serve enough wardrobe purposes this season…
#1. Tracee Ellis Ross
Knitwear has endured prevalent fads cycling back and forth, grabbing the attention of enthusiasts at the slightest rendition. Tracee Ellis Ross understands how to work timeless pieces like this into trendy versions of themselves. For a recent appearance, she rocked an oversized cable knit sweater with wide-hem pants for an outstanding result. When recreating, you can style it as is or layer it over a cozy dress and finish off with boots for an evening concert. Grandma would be proud, all those decades of crocheting and singing while creating the holiday sweater that you refused to wear finally paid off.
#2. Fantasia Taylor
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Old is the new New. Those shoulder pads of the 80s are once again in demand, and you’ll do well to cop a few. Fantasia shows how it’s done in a shoulder-padded Annakiki zebra print blazer paired with a Skims bodysuit, mom jeans, and zebra print heels. The look is a fusion of contemporary with classics and it undoubtedly scored major points. This look works for most chilled events this holiday — from an art exhibition to a coffee date.
#3. Taraji P. Henson
It would be a crime not to acknowledge Taraji P. Henson’s recent slay roulette. Yes, it’s that grave a style offense. The actress has been on a roll, dishing out combinations and saving us all from impending style ruts. This time, a snatched Solangel three-piece suit with embellishments 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 give credit to outside Halloween’s fleeting annual moments, but Eva Longoria wears it graciously. She swung this Stella McCartney number at the Critics Choice Celebration of Cinema and TV. Keeping her makeup minimal and hair flipped behind, she elevated the look with a crystal-studded clutch that echoed the embellishment on 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 holiday look that works for the games or grabbing lunch with friends. Cardi B served good 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 switch the boots for chunky sneakers to play up the boyishness of the fit.
#6. Marlo Hampton
Asymmetric necklines and fur sleeves are as fancy as it gets and trust Marlo Hampton to always bring pomp to the ordinary. The reality star attended an event in a grey two-piece featuring a blouse with fur sleeves, an asymmetric neckline, and a button-down skirt. You can rock this to a luxury product launch and add color to the conversation with your accessories.
#7. Jordyn Woods
One would have thought that by this time, feather inclusions would have soft-pedaled but the reverse is the case. Don’t believe me? A good stare at Jordyn Wood’s Abyss dress reiterates the relevance of feathery details. The flirty high-low hem juxtaposed the conservative turtle neckline for a 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 form-fitting midi dress with puffy sleeves is a church service favorite for the city girl who stopped by at her childhood country home for the holidays. Plus, burgundy is an unconventional festive color that retains poise. Quinta Brunson leveraged the two in a Rosario number for the Color Purple movie premiere. If you’re replicating this for a church service, opt for a dress without cutout detail on the chest area.
#9. Amina Muaddi
Grey tints are ubiquitous this holiday season. They fit right into the chill weather and assume a relaxed vibe. Amina Muaddi was different shades of grey at the Pradasphere in Shangai in a two-piece featuring a crew neck sweater and wide-leg pants, both with feather details at the hem. When wearing laidback hues like grey, dial it up with bold and daring beauty choices. For instance, a dark lippie leans toward gothic and a bold red lipstick evokes a confident countenance. If you’re going shopping this weekend, leverage this coordination and it won’t fail you.
#10. Taraji P. Henson in velvet
What’s a celebrity holiday look without a snappy mini velvet dress? Taraji P. Henson slid into an off-the-shoulder number decorated with shimmery flower appliques around the neckline for a sassy flair. This is a typical party dress, but it’s 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 Christmas party look on lockdown.
