With the parade of holiday parties, gift exchange gatherings, and obligatory dinners on the horizon, we took it upon ourselves to find the four accessories that are both office- and party-appropriate. We enlisted the help of stars who have styled their add-ons like pros, dressing them up and down to suit the occasion. Olivia Palermo, for starters, shows us how she gave her daytime maroon separates an opulent spin with a gold-plated floral bib necklace. For night, she cleverly matched the dramatic statement necklace with an equally dramatic high-neck, white lace fringe Alessandra Rich number. From bejeweled headbands to cut-out pumps, take a look at (and shop!) the hardest working pieces around.

Benett/Getty The crown jewel of Lupita Nyong'o's look? Her bejeweled rose gold Henri Bendel headwrap that gave both of her looks—sophisticated ivory separates she wore to a luncheon and an evening ruffled LBD—a generous dose of bling without crossing into garishly obscene territory. Find one encrusted in crystals or an art deco-inspired one. Or, if you're more of a minimalist, a sleek gold-plated headband will have the same effect.

Think of them as elevated studs-non-obstructive but visually impactive. Jessica Alba wore a gold pair with her off-duty uniform and a silver diamond one with an upscale black Emilio Pucci jumpsuit.

The star may be onto something—these cut-out pumps with asymmetric straps are as classic as ordinary black pumps, but they bring an extra little something to the table.
