The holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, NYE, and more—are basically here. Even though I’ve had more than enough time to prepare for such events (a.k.a. an entire year), I can place a pretty solid bet that, like me, you too have waited until the very last minute to even think about your holiday party attire. As a quick panic came over my body the other night thinking about the festivities my family and I alone have planned and how little I have to wear, I did what I always do and headed to Zara.
Okay, party dresses, party dresses, party dresses, I thought to myself as I frantically opened up tab after tab of anything sequin, silk, or leopard print. Curious to see how many dresses I had actually clicked on, I counted each and every one and realized it was a whopping 63. Yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands, thank you for asking. If you’re a Zara love and last-minute shopper like me, I figured your shopping methods might be similar to mine which is why I’m here to relieve you of your misery. Ahead, shop the only 25 Zara party dresses that matter this season, according to someone who clicked on basically all of them.
For NYE and beyond. The details on this dress make it look so expensive. Faux fur scarf not included but definitely necessary. You can’t go wrong with a classic. Please note the extra-strong shoulders. You’ll turn heads in this one for sure. Calling all ’80s girls. We don’t hate the grungy styling of this one. Elevate this silky number even more by layering a mesh turtleneck underneath. The rhinestone belt really makes this look shine. We just found your next “wow” moment. Never underestimate the power of a red animal print dress. Sleek, shiny, and stunning. Business in the front, party in the back. It’s not not a blazer. Further proof a mesh turtleneck will elevate your holiday party looks tenfold. Black-tie attire has never looked more approachable. A pair of crystal earrings would look marvelous with this dress. Velvet and sequins have never looked better together. This color has us drooling. This one is a top and a skirt but we are loving it nonetheless. Things are getting official. One more sequin dress for the road. The LBD that won our hearts. It’s not a dress, it’s not a top, it’s a romper. Next up, find out how you can save the most money while shopping at Zara, according to 123 employees.

Award show season is year-round for me, the moment I’m finalizing last-minute details for one red carpet, I’m onto the next prepping looks and pulling gowns for the following appearance. In just the past year, I’ve styled over 1K celebrity looks and throughout my 10 years as a stylist, there’s one red carpet trend I’m slowly seeing disappear. Stylists and celebrities are taking more risks on the red carpet and stepping away from traditional gown-only options. While gowns will always be a red carpet option, it’s no longer the only option. We’re seeing more variety in pantsuits and jumpsuits thanks to designers like Christian Siriano and Ralph Lauren and the idea that the only way to dress a celeb for the camera-filled occasion is through a glamorous dress is dated. The red carpet has really taken a new form over the past few years and I’m totally onboard with this fresh take on dressing for the occasion. See a few of my favorite pantsuit moments I styled this year below and shop my picks while you’re scrolling.

I basically predict fashion trends for a living, spending a shocking amount of hours scrolling through my favorite Instagram accounts in search of the season’s biggest trends so I can be sure to share them with you here. To be honest, I get weirdly competitive about sensing which styles are poised to blow up right before they do—predicting them has become an art form at this point. So when I stand behind the fact that one winter coat trend, in particular, is about to viral (if it hasn’t already), it’s because I’ve researched it to no end.
The trend I’m talking about is teddy coats, sometimes known as faux shearling or faux fur coats, and as you’ll soon see below, Instagram’s coolest It girls are already hopping on board. They’re proving that the cozy jacket is the perfect way to add a unique element to any winter outfit and they’re favoring styles in neutral shades of brown, tan, and black for maximum versatility.
Not only is this a trend we’re really excited about (maximum coziness and style? Sign us up), but you can score a version of winter’s biggest trend for just $50 from our Who What Wear collection at Target. Get inspired by how the fuzzy coat is styled on Instagram below and then shop our affordable version and even more perfect outerwear ahead.
