#StyledByCed: Celebrity Stylist Cedric Haddad On How To Dress For The Festive Season

From sequins styles to metallic moments, stylist to the stars and our monthly columnist shines a spotlight on the top red carpet looks, and fashion moments of the month

It’s that time of the year again, when it’s all about getting your sparkle on. Lean heartily into the festive spirit by wearing either chic metallics or upbeat colours that spark joy. Here, I’ve pulled together a selection of fabulous holiday looks that are sure to get your glittering celebrations started in style…

Ultra-Embellished

Now you have no excuse not to wear your sequins, crystals, and glittery pieces. And if you’re looking to invest in some new shimmer, brands like Gucci, Rabanne and Area never disappoint with their sparkling options.

A Seasonal Flourish

Pure Passion

The December hue that never gets old? Red. All the runways – from Prada to Ferragamo and Jacquemus – saw a cascade of crimson. These are fire-alarm looks that will turn up the heat at any event.

Viva Velvet

It’s the material that dominates a winter party wardrobe, and this year sees no sign of it abating. A sophisticated fabric that oozes luxe, regal vibes, it was cut to perfection by Alexandre Vauthier and Peter Petrov.

Lace is more

Unmistakably feminine, this pretty yet sensual fabric can be donned from head-to-toe or added as a flirty accent. It’s no wonder Dolce & Gabbana are such fans.

Perfect Punctuation

The final touch? Statement accessories, obviously. Go big or go home with showstoppers from labels like Loewe and Bottega Veneta that make your whole look stand out from the crowd.
