New Year’s Eve Christmas party outfit celebrity inspiration: Victoria Beckham

By Andrea Petrou on December 21st, 2011

Victoria Beckham has become a huge style icon over the past few years thanks to her fashion sense and design talents so who better than the lady herself to give us some inspiration for that perfect party dress.

Throughout 2011 the singer turned designer has wowed with some stunning syles, which have rapidly been copied on the highstreet. For a smart black tie New Year’s Eve party why not go for a long black dress similar to the one worn by Posh at the British Fashion Awards or play it down with a shorter rouched number.

If black isn’t your thing then take a leaf out of Ms Beckham’s colour book and go for red or a more subtle nude for that perfect party look.

See the gallery below for all the Victoria Beckham party inspiration.

And of course the highstreet is packed full of these sparkly lovelies, which brighten up any style, just in time for the Christmas party season.

Go for a simple tunic dress for a casual work party or go all out with a fierce bodycon number. If you’re not too keen on showing off those pins then there’s also a great range of metallic tees, which look great teamed up with shinny jeans.

Christmas party dress inspiration from the red carpet premieres of New Year’s Eve and W.E

By Andrea Petrou on December 6th, 2011

If you’re looking for inspiration for that Christmas party outfit then this week’s red carpet events will give you just that.

Yesterday a huge host of A-listers turned up on the New Year’s Eve premiere red carpet in a range of frocks. Lea Michele shone in a stunning off-white long frock- perfect for more formal occasions – while Fergie and Hilary Swank went for embellished short numbers, which we think are perfect for that night out on the tiles.

Over on the W.E premiere red carpet Madonna sported the skinny jeans and blazer, which is a perfect alternative for frock fearing ladies, while Chloe Sevigny showed how to vamp up a Christmas party outfit in a red dress.
