Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it is officially holiday party season. Between now and January 2, chances are you, like us, will be attending a few festive soirées—whether that's a work event, BFF shindig, NYE bash, or all the above. Translation: You're going to need at least one (if not a few!) gorgeous party dresses. While you could easily revert to the same old LBD you've worn forever, why not have a little fun this season with a stylish, celeb-approved option? Seriously—fashion A-listers are the best source of holiday style inspiration, recently stepping out in a slew of on-trend silhouettes that are perfect for the season.
Go on to check out the five key holiday dress styles, according to celebrities, and shop each for every budget as well. Try one of the styles coming ahead, and you're guaranteed to be the best dressed at any event.
The Sparkly Dress
It wouldn't be holiday party season with a sparkly dress, right? This December, try one in an of-the-moment cut like Bella Hadid's boxier pick.
On Bella Hadid: Givenchy dress and Pandora Miniaudiere Leather Box Clutch ($1550).
The Sheer Dress
Dresses with sheer details are so popular right now. We love Beyoncé's pick here—ideal for a really fun party.
On Beyoncé: Alice McCall Senorita Peppermint Dress ($450); Giuseppe Zanotti Evening Sandals ($855); Maximilian Furs Airgallon Fox Fur Scarf ($259).

The Slip Dress
The slip dress reigned supreme last year—and it isn't going anywhere this season either. If you live somewhere colder, pair it with a furry coat or leather jacket.
On Sienna Miller: Roland Mouret dress.

The Maxi Dress
If you have a more formal event to attend, try a longer silhouette in a beautiful print like Kendall's.
On Kendall Jenner: Marchesa dress; Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandal ($398).
The Fringe Dress
If you're looking for the ultimate party frock, go for a fringe style like Olivia's. Bonus points if you test out a metallic version, too!
On Olivia Palermo: Valentino dress; Roger Vivier Polly Patent Zip Loafer ($775); Westward Leaning Voyager Sunglasses ($185).
