Want to make a big splash at holiday festivities this year? So do I. A few MAJ looks to turn some heads — you’ll note a lot of tone-on-tone action, and a lot of velvet. Both are so hot RN.
LOOK 1.
This lacy frock is only $69, people. The color, the high-neck, the length are so on point. I love the idea of pairing it with tone-on-tone accents, like my favorite heeled sandal of all time, now available in a VELVET (ZOMG — $650); these epic drop earrings (Sachin + Bobi, $250); and this elegant MCM purse ($1,100).
LOOK 2.
Saloni velvet jumpsuit ($650, DROOL). With a pearl-and-velvet-bow choker ($275, LOVE). And these drop-dead-gorgeous Aquazzura pumps ($990, holy cow). Finish with this funky outerspace Charlotte Olympia mother of pearl clutch ($1,550).
LOOK 3.
Batwing sleeve dress in cherry red ($90) with oversized starburst studs ($138). I’ll admit, a low heel intimidates the hell out of me — will I look like a grandma in them? Possibly. But they are le rage right now. So try these bow-toed Marnis ($690) on for size. The pointy toe and big bow compensate the low heel. Finish with this outrageous/funky perspex clutch ($978).
LOOK 4.
I LOVE this one-shouldered sweater ($555) with some wide-leg trousers (Givenchy, $1,290 — get the look for less with these J. Crews, or go super fashion-forward with these cropped Tibis) and these Zimmerman lace-up leather sandals ($480). Up the glam factor with this sparkly clutch (Alice + Olivia, $395).
LOOK 5.
Valentino jumpsuit (on sale for $1,290). Finish with Jimmy Choo velvet pumps ($625) and my favorite gold tassels ($45 — they are so lightweight for such a big statement!), with a Charlotte Olympia clutch ($1,650).
Any of these looks would be EPIC layered beneath this velvet cape from Anna Sui ($559).
I know I featured a lot of $$$ pieces above — but you can replicate the vibe of these luxe looks with some of these stunning, more reasonably-priced pieces:
+Velvet wrap dress ($148).
+Deep v velvet gown for the truly daring ($228).
+Red lace dress ($145).
+A STEAL for this lucite/perspex clutch — very Charlotte Olympia, but a fraction of the price, and by an up-and-coming designer ($250).
+Velvet platform heels (very YSL — $160).
+Velvet choker ($33).
+The Reformation velvet slip dress ($248). OK, are we officially back in the 90s? I think so. But this looks right on point.
+Lace-up pumps ($138).
+Satin slip dress ($165 — wow).
+Velvet trim dress ($100).
