My TOP 10 FESTIVE DRESSES FOR THE 2021 HOLIDAY SEASON:
1. MAGDA BUTRYM FLORAL MINI DRESS, $1655. – Ever since one of my besties, Beth Buccini, wore this dress for her epic 50th Birthday Party, I’ve been coveting it. The print is amazing and so is the fit. Get it while you can.
2. KHAITE THE CARMEN DRESS, $2600. – Another one of my besties has been eying this dress all season and I must say it’s a showstopper. Pair it with a bright satin pump or wear black Wolford polka dot tights with black satin heels and call it a day.
3. VERONICA BEARD KURA SATIN DRESS, $595. – I just worked on an exciting project with Veronica Beard (to be revealed soon on Cho & Tell!) and they very kindly sent me this amazing dress. The fit is beyond, it’s so easy to wear, and the price is right.
4. SALONI CAMILLE BOW-EMBELLISHED VELVET DRESS, $795. — This dress just screams holiday. So festive. A lot of look for the money.
5. PROENZA SCHOULER LINEN VISCOSE SHIRRED SLEEVE DRESS, $1074. – Every season, there’s always a dress I want from Proenza Schouler. The fit on this green dress is amazing. I know, I tried it myself. ALERT: it’s now on sale.
6. HUISHAN ZHANG BEAU FEATHER AND GROSGRAIN-TRIMMED SILK-ORGANZA GOWN, $2815. — Let me just say, I love this dress so much. I don’t know where I’m going in it, but I love it. Have a black-tie holiday party this season? This dress is it.
7. CHRISTOPHER ESBER CUTAWAY WOVEN MIDI DRESS, $790. — Believe it or not, Christopher Esber made a one-piece swimsuit version of this, and I kept thinking he should turn it into a dress. Well, he did. And we’re all the better for it. The ultimate LBD.
8. BATSHEVA CAROL DRESS IN JUNIPER CRUSHED VELVET, $475. — I’m a big fan of Batsheva Hay’s designs. I love this particular dress because of its longer length. Great color, too. While you’re on the site, check out her new collaboration with Laura Ashley. Yes, that Laura Ashley.
9. MICHAEL KORS COLLECTION LEOPARD WOOL STRAPLESS DRESS, $1890. — This leopard dress is from Michael’s 40th Anniversary Collection, which has been selling like crazy. The dress had a companion car coat which is already sold out worldwide. Get the dress before it’s gone, too — it'll be a collector’s item.
10. SCHIAPARELLI MINI DRESS WITH SMOCKED COLLAR, €6200. — I know, I saw the price, too. But I wanted you to see what I consider to be the ultimate party dress by one of my favorite designers of the moment, Daniel Roseberry of Schiaparelli. Roseberry’s designs are fanciful but also wearable. If money is no object, this is the dress to get.
