Celebrity Styles Appearance: December 2010

Every time December 31^st rolls around, I get the itch to put on my most fab sparkly dress, my Edie shoulder-duster earrings, the thickest false lashes that I can get my fingers on, and go out on the town. You see, on these nights I imagine my life slowly evolving into a Jane Birkin movie. In my mind, if I only put on my swingingest minidress and go out, dancing or something, I can find a Serge of my own.

Sadly, these urges to dress up are usually in vain because I normally spend my New Year’s Eve watching Dick Clark, waiting for the ball to drop and for a glass of champagne.

Tonight, I will break the mold. I am going out with some girlfriends and, though I won’t have a midnight kiss, I will finally be able to wear a sparkly dress and thick eye makeup and have my own Jane Birkin moment. I don’t need a kiss tonight, all I need is a little glitter.

Here is an ode to some of my favorite girls wearing the heaviest, glamorous, most glittered, sequined, and sparkled dresses to help every get into the New Year's mood!

This is my ultimate look: backcombed hair, thick black eyeliner, and a simply smashing gold sequined minidress

Celebrities like Dita Von Teese, Mary Kate Olsen, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, and Lara Stone all try their hands at the look

From the severe runway look to the metallic gowns that Beyonce, Olivia Wilde, and Brooke Shields look almost poured into, dressing in 'heavy metal' really makes a statement

Though not recommended in this late-December cold, a silver swimsuit is quite on point (perhaps put on a big fur coat to keep warm if you decide to go this route)
