It’s time to get a little dressed up for some holiday cheer. If you haven’t been invited to any event yet, then perhaps you should host your own. Besides, it’s a fun excuse to wear the most fabulous party dresses- and we found the hottest picks. Take a peek, girlfriend, and you’ll be inspired to be party prepped this season.

1. Roberto Cavalli V-Neck Chiffon Dress

Sure, this dress is on the loose-fitted side, but let me tell you, it’s far from frumpy. It’s so sophisticated and it will flatter practically any body type. It’s most appropriate for a cocktail party.

2. Matthew Williamson Kandi Beaded Column Gown

Girls, you can never go wrong with the classic black spaghetti strap dress. This silk chiffon formal gown includes a detailed beaded bust, which adds an extra touch to it, yet its still simple and elegant. Pair it with a metallic silver or black clutch and black heels. Golden-globe worthy.

3. Vivienne Westwood Red Label Jersey Corset Dress

This jersey corset dress is fabulous for a cocktail party. It comes off the shoulders for a sexier edge, but it’s still classy and elegant. Keep it simple with a black clutch purse and black heels or make a bolder statement with patent leather red pumps.

4. Alberta Ferretti Full Length Gown

Dress in style for a black-tie event with this purple number. I’d wear it with a matching purple mini hand-bag or clutch, but it might be a little difficult to find the exact same color, so don’t worry if you find a purse in a similar shade. Embellish the dress with a silver broach right in front of the cleavage, and voila- fashiontista of the evening.

5. Zac Posen Parker Halterneck Dress

“Lady in Red” could be you with this cute scarlet halter dress. Wear it with silver, black or matching red stilettos and you’ll steal the spotlight from Santa’s suit. Add some pizzazz to it with a black shawl for the perfect semi-formal get-up.

6. Manoush Embellished Belt Dress

This is one of those dresses you actually have to try on to appreciate it. It’s modern but it has a vintage touch to it. You can wear it with black nylons, gold or black platform shoes and a gold clutch for a cocktail party. Keep in mind you must wear heels to look appropriate for a party. Black suede boots for instance would tone it down for a more casual atmosphere.

7. Notte by Marchesa Spotty Chiffon Dress

Deck the halls with boughs of spotty. Isn’t this a dazzling gown for a holiday gala? You can wear this with gold or black stilettos and a gold or black purse. It would also look a bit more posh with a black (or gold) shawl.

With any of these fabulous party dresses, you’ll make others wonder if you secretly went shopping with Sienna Miller. Whether you’re munching on hors d’oeuvres or bantering at a sit-down dinner, you’re bound to get compliments on looking like a star.
