They’re not just for a leg up at holiday parties. Sequins — the “notice me” choice for celebratory affairs — are suddenly more classy (and less cheesy) when worn in demure and unexpected ways. Scroll down to see how stars are styling the glitzy appliqué — and shop looks for less!
Karlie Kloss
Stan Smiths paired perfectly with the model’s $1,250 Tibi overall dress and Carolina Herrera bag on July 13 in NYC. This $68 Disco Heaven jumpsuit from Lulu’s is just as casual and less costly!
Kim Kardashian
While shopping in Beverly Hills on July 29, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star modeled a pair of dazzling, custom-designed Balmain pants with a plunging top and Army green coverup. If see-through is not your thing, try these $73 Asos Night premium embellished sequin Skinny pants and wear ’em with a crop and ankle-length duster coat.
Olivia Palermo
On September 18, the socialite turned designer rocked Topshop’s affordable $140 stripe sequin bomber jacket to the brand’s London fashion show. Buy it here while supplies last and wear it with monochromatic colors (stay away from prints, please).
