ithout any prompts, celebrities and style stars continually file out to high-profile events looking peng per usual. The elevated casuals were not without added oomph, the red carpet numbers had an extra gush of glam, and the semi-formal attires only made pretty girl statements. These last days of 2023 have been a spurt of creative fashion. It seems the stars saved the best for the last and are churning out only ritzy coordination to say goodbye in style. Irrespective of personal preferences, all looks stayed on-theme for the holiday season and are sure to serve you well should you have any engagements this weekend. Of course, you do!
These celebrity holiday outfits will be easy to replicate this weekend…
#1. Andra Day
If maximalism is on your holiday outfit menu, take a slice out of David Koma’s AW 23 collection. Andra Day stepped on necks in the brand’s flower bralette worn over a long-sleeved sheer top tucked into a midi skirt. She added elbow-high flower hem gloves and red Le Silla ruched boots for more flair. Recreate this look for a day out with friends this weekend. You can ditch the gloves so you don’t come off as over the top unless you intend to.
#2. Letitia Wright
This season, the dress code is: “Never lose your shine.” Yup, drab clothes and boring colors have been suspended indefinitely. Take a cue from Letitia Wright in this dazzling sleeveless Prada dress paired with black pants and pumps for an appropriate blend of easy and loud fashion. The black complementary pieces toned down the shimmer in an oh-so-chic manner. A birthday party is a fresh place to sport this look.

#3. Teyonah Parris
At the Color Purple movie premiere, the crystal-studded black velvet Christian Siriano number on Teyonah Parris stood out on the carpet, and her creative locs hairstyle was the perfect ally for the dress. Together, the combo caused more heads to turn than the flashing cameras. If you’ll be walking the carpet this weekend, leverage a classy black dress and big hair to the max.
#4. Jurnee Smollett
Sometimes, life isn’t black and white. Other times, it is indeed. This black and white dress on Jurnee Smollett depicts a life with uncomplicated poise. Keep things simple at your next movie premiere with a black-and-white mono-sleeve, high-slited number. Continue the minimalistic aesthetic with understated makeup and hairdo.

#5. Courtney Racquel Rhodes
This red and white jacket speaks elegance in every language. So it’s one of the celebrity holiday outfits you can wear comfortably to a family gathering and blend right in without side eyes. Just like Courtney Racquel Rhodes, pair it with comfy jeans, layers of necklaces, and a red purse to serve unapologetically.
#6. Ari Lennox
Celebrating her one-year alcohol sobriety on Instagram, Ari Lennox posed in an embellished denim offering to show off her chiseled frame and popping melanin skin. The shimmering bralette sat pretty above the studded jeans as her accessories — jewelry and shoes — continued the dazzling sight. This is one of the everyday celebrity holiday outfits that has been spotted everywhere, from friendly brunches to end-of-the-year parties. Include a denim jacket to the mix to stay warm and stylish.
#7. Taraji P. Henson
A red dress is readily the holy grail of every holiday event, and Taraji P. Henson knows this. The actress released Merry Christmas shots in a red midi dress with a loosely pleated hem. In the beauty department, she opted for a sleek updo with well-laid edges and an understated face card that continued the quiet luxury of the fit. But then, things got interesting with her multi-colored heels that brought a dash of playfulness. This look can be recreated for a day at an art gallery in the heart of the city.
#8. Storm Reid
It’s an unspoken rule to merge different textures when attempting an elevated monochrome look. Storm Reid shows you how in this Matrix-esque all-black look featuring high-waist tights, a front-zipper top, an oversized leather coat, and matching pumps. To inject a little color into the look, opt for a red mini bag or pastel-colored accessories, then head to a pop music concert with a VIP ticket. If you’ll be standing all night, you might need lower heels or heels for sneakers.
#9. Ubah Hassan
If you resonate with whimsical fashion, Ubah will serve as good inspiration. Featuring a green turtleneck top, skater skirt, white blazer, and matching thigh-high boots, her get-up evokes a sense of playfulness that’s much-needed in the uptight, chilly weather. This look is perfect for a day and night tour in a new city. The key is to blend shades of neutrals with a touch of color—in this case – green.

#10. Tracee Ellis Ross
True style is finding a hundred and one ways to style the pieces in your closet. As you rummage through these celebrity holiday outfits, one thing will become clear: those long-forgotten outfits in your wardrobe can be breathed with new life. At least that is how Tracee Ellis Ross’ style makes me feel. She was effortlessly stylish in a Willy Chavarria menswear look that saw oversized pants, a scarf, a blazer, and penny loafers pair to perfection. If you don’t have similar shoes, pay your brother or partner a visit and rock this for a casual brunch.
