Finally, 13 Sparkly Outfits That Don't Feel Cliché

by Dale Chong

Throughout the year, there are a few occasions that naturally call for a bit of extra sparkle and shine. Among them are your birthday, black-tie affairs, and, of course, New Year’s Eve. With the final countdown to the festivities officially upon us, celebrating in something shimmery only seems fitting. That said, with every year comes a sea of sparkly outfits for New Year’s Eve, and as fashion-forward women, we know you don’t want to feel like you’re wearing the same ensemble over and over again (or the same ensemble as someone else). Luckily, that’s where we come in.

Ahead, we’ve pulled together It girl–approved looks that will feel fresh for any New Year’s party. From a sequin top paired with cool cargo pants to a classic LBD with a glittering blazer layered over it, these looks take on NYE sparkle in a whole new way. Keep scrolling to see them all below, and get ready to shop!
