What better way to celebrate the end of the year and the arrival of the new year than by putting together a fabulous new outfit? That’s definitely something that rings true for many of our favorite stars.
Over the years, we’ve seen any number of incredible celebrity New Year’s Eve outfits featuring sequins, feathers, sparkles, glitter, and everything in between. With unlimited funds and access to the world’s best stylists, it’s hard not to look good on NYE.
Need a little fashion inspiration for this year’s final night? Read on for all of the best celebrity New Year’s Eve outfits.
1. Rihanna in Sultry Gold
Rihanna entered 2021 with the caption “New year’s resolution: apply the pressure,” and that’s definitely something she achieved. She wore this incredible glimmering metallic gold look on vacation in Barbados, fusing together a golden bikini top with a figure-hugging high waisted, thigh-high slit skirt.
She rounded off the look with high heels and ribbons up to her thighs. We’d finish this outfit off with an opulent and attention-grabbing scent like Gold Edition Oud by Pascal Morabito.

2. Lily Collins Channelling Chic Emily in Paris Vibes
Many of Lily Collins’ winter outfits appear to be inspired by her main character energy from Emily in Paris. That’s something we definitely spotted when we saw her New Year’s Eve outfit in December 2021. Lily paired a long silver embellished coat with a beaming smile and a handful of close friends.
This seriously cool jacket also showed us a sneak peek of the sequined mini dress Lily wore underneath. We’d pair it with a stylish perfume like Maja by Myrurgia.

3. Sleek and Stylish Justin and Hailey Bieber
Justin and Hailey will forever be our favorite power couple and one of the highlights of each year is admiring their NYE fits and parties. Hailey’s 2021 outfit took all of our little black dress goals to a whole new level.
This YSL by Anthony Vaccarello minidress came dazzling with plenty of jewelry and a very handsome Justin on Hailey’s arm. Justin also looked pretty charming, styling his suit jacket with a backwards cap and a relaxed smile. We’d pair Hailey’s stunning outfit with Prada La Femme and Justin’s with The One by Dolce & Gabbana.

4. Dua Lipa Stunning in Silver Versace
Dua Lipa impresses us every year with her New Year’s Eve outfits but this silver Versace dress from 2020 might just be our all-time favorite fit. Glistening from top to toe with her tanned skin and bleached hair, Dua’s custom silver crystal mesh Versace minidress featured a reverse sweetheart neckline and her signature handful of fun, colorful rings.
If you recognise this dress, it might be because Dua wore the pink version at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Japan earlier in the month. The best matching fragrance? We’d pick Bright Crystal by Versace.

5. Miley Cyrus in Gorgeous Glittering Green
We weren’t so naive as to only expect one New Year’s Eve outfit from Miley Cyrus. But we were still seriously impressed by the sheer number of outfit changes she blessed us with as she saw in the new year.
The NBC special Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party featured a handful of wonderful outfits but, if we had to pick just one, we’d choose the glittering green Bronx and Banco dress with its daring side cutout and high slit. We’d finish the look off with L’eau D’issey (Issey Miyake) by Issey Miyake.

6. Mariah Carey in Flowing Gold Dolce & Gabbana
Mariah Carey shines during the festive period and not just for her catchy song. The singer’s outfits always come to slay too and her New Year’s photoshoot for Dolce & Gabbana made international headlines at the start of 2022.
The beautiful photoshoot, set in Aspen, featured Mariah posing in a gorgeous floor-length D&G dress with a train, a thigh-high slit, and a cozy fur coat. We’d pair this one with a Dolce & Gabbana fragrance like Dolce Garden by Dolce & Gabbana.

7. Kourtney Kardashian in Attention-Grabbing Sparkles
Most celebrity New Year’s Eve party outfits feature a dress or a skirt but Kourney Kardashian opted for hot pants and a sequin bra instead. Always one to push the boundaries, Kourtney wore a pair of brocade high-rise stretchy shorts and paired them with a metallic sequin bra and a hefty silver choker-style necklace.
The finishing touch? Her sky-high silver heels. We’d finish this look with a fragrance like Nasomatto Silver Musk.
