LA LUNE PLUNGED CROSS BACK MAXI DRESS
When it comes to holiday dressing, I always lean on timeless style—and nothing’s more classic than a little black dress. It’s effortlessly chic, endlessly versatile, and the perfect choice for any festive occasion. Whether it’s a cozy dinner party, a glamorous night out, or just an excuse to dress up, you can never go wrong with this wardrobe MVP.
If you’re in need of a standout dress for your holiday events, I’ve got you covered with these picks:
1. Reformation Milkmaid-Style Dress
CONTESSA VELVET DRESS | HEELED LEATHER ANKLE BOOTS
How short is too short? When this Reformation dress arrived, I was smitten. The milkmaid-inspired design is beyond adorable, and the corset-like bodice gives it a flirty, vintage vibe. Not to mention, the crinoline adds a playful, full-skirted effect.
Here’s the deal, though: this dress isn’t the most practical. If you’re planning to stay perfectly still, avoid stairs, and, under no circumstances, pick something up off the floor—it’s your perfect match. For those rare moments when you can say, “Anything that happens behind me is none of my business,” this dress will absolutely steal the show. Bonus: it makes your legs look so long!
2. Nadine Merabi Dresses: The Power Pair
When it comes to structured, jaw-dropping dresses, Nadine Merabi delivers every time. I couldn’t decide between these two, so naturally, I tried both.
EM BLACK DRESS | POINTED TOE HEELS | ALINTA TOP HANDLE BAG
Let’s just say, getting into this dress required a little effort (and maybe some help). The structured fabric is so flattering—it hugs in all the right places and gives that chic hourglass silhouette. I paired it with sheer pantyhose for a polished, timeless look. And the straps? Totally removable for versatility.
AUDRINA BLACK DRESS | POINTED TOE HEELS
This one was much easier to zip up (thankfully). Similar in fit to the Em Dress, it has the same sculpted bodice and hip-hugging silhouette but with the addition of elegant long sleeves.This dress practically screams holiday party. Anyone need a plus one for their soirée?
3. Reformation: Sale Picks
Here’s a roundup of some similar styles that I love from Reformation:
Holiday dressing is all about feeling confident and chic, and these dresses deliver on both fronts. From structured silhouettes to playful hemlines, there’s something for everyone. In my opinion, whether you’re attending a lavish party or hosting your own festive gathering, a classic little black dress will never steer you wrong.
