No white after labor day? Not anymore! A crisp LWD is a sophisticated and unexpected choice for the holidays. Kim Kardashian and Freida Pinto amped up their sheaths with statement necklaces, but a mini with beadwork on the neckline does all the work for you!

Whether sapphire, garnet or a Christmas-ready ruby or emerald, it doesn't get much more festive than these rich hues. Take a tip from Michelle Monaghan and Pippa Middleton: you don't need much accessorizing when your dress teams bold colors with detailed embellishments.

Ornamentation like beading and embroidery gives these go-to styles a fresh-off-the-runway vibe. Best of all, metallic accents like Heidi Klum and Elizabeth Olsen's say, "No jewelry required."

If sequins aren't your thing, take a cue from Emma Stone and Minka Kelly's subtle glitz. Pair your shoulder-baring halter dress with bronzed skin and a bright shoe and let the New Year's Eve countdown begin!
