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.

Take inspiration from the Studio 54 look and go for a black flared number or play it simple and sophisticated with a haterneck all in one.

Those wishing to add some sparkle to the party can opt for sequined numbers, which are hot on the highstreet this year, while prints will also ensure you stay bang on-trend at that Christmas or New Year’s Eve party.

See the gallery below for our top five.

Prada showcased this print in its AW 2011 catwalk in the shape of shoes, plastic garish coats mixed with fur, while Chloe showed off something that little bit more subtle with this trend appearing in floaty chiffon frocks.

Go for the bright look – we’re talking pinks, blues and oranges – shown at Angelo Marani, keep it subtle with creams or go all out with 70s inspired snakeprint trousers.

Whatever you choose you’ll be bang on this season’s trend.

See the gallery below for all the designer inspiration.

Inspired by Herve Leger’s bandage dress, this style is as versatile as they come and the highstreet is covered in a range of different styles.

Go for this year’s panelled look or keep it festive with a red or green hue. Add some lace for a gothic feel or stick to a simple black dress in this style for a classic yet modern look.

Those feeling extra Christmassy can also opt for sequins ensuring they sparkle at this year’s parties.

They are, afterall, a mecca for best dressed celebrities who have often been given top styling advice.

If you’re still stuck with what to wear to a smart Christmas party or for New Years eve then why not take some inspiration from girl of the moment Rooney Mara who went for a stunning white fishtail frock at the London premiere of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo?

If that’s a little bit too much then Caprice showed how  effective a simple red strapless dress could be at the Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, while Talula also showed how faux fur can be stylish and keep you snug at the same event.

See the gallery below for more inspiration.

Ponytails are a hot hair trend for AW 2011/2012 with a huge range of designers giving the traditional look a modern twist on the catwalk.

And it’s great for girls who like wearing their hair up during the party season. Spice up the style with a 70s take on the trend, which was a look shown off with crimping and feathers at Gucci, and a great style if you’re planning to wear that jumpsuit, or play it a bit safer with a plain low ponytail as seen at Burberry.

Calvin Klein showed how to wear a high pony, while riding in with a detailed take was Felder and Felder who showed off a braided look. Whatever style you choose this party season we guarantee you’ll stand out.

If you’re not too keen on an updo why not take inspiration from the latest celebrity red carpet looks and go for loose Christmas curls.

Inspired by style icon Bridget Bardot, this look has recently been channelled by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kelly Brook and of course Kate Middleton. And it’s also very simple to achieve.

Split hair into sections, grab the curling tongs or heated rollers and set with hairspray. For extra volume gently backcomb roots.

Balmain bought us the blazer, while Stella McCartney showed metallic pieces in sporty silhouettes, which is great news for the ladies who aren’t as girly as some.

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.

See our top five picks in the gallery below.

Gold and silver fabrics were hot on the aw 2011catwalks with designers such as Balmain and Vivienne Westwood fashioning them into jackets and others such as Stella McCartney going for this fabric in frocks.
To get the look just right this season, let metallics take centre stage and keep accessories minimal. Team up blazers with skinny black jeans and a plain t-shirt for a simple yet affective look.
