But never fear, the world’s leading fashion icons have posted snapshots on social networks of all sorts of wonderful dazzling, glamorous, and ultra-chic dresses.
All you have to do is nab one of their ideas and replicate it, or adapt it with your own personal touches.
Here is a rundown on some of the outfits you might want to consider for the fast-approaching party season.
Whether it be for Christmas or New Year’s, what about a daring minidress like Kylie Jenner’s?
Its ultra-short cut is offset by long sleeves and a classic plunging neckline with eye-catching pleats.
This is a modern dress, sexy but not over-the-top. It is also easy to accessorise in the manner of your choosing to match your own personal style.
For end-of-year celebrations, why not show a little drama with feathers, sequins and bold colours?
After all, Christmas and New Year are the two nights of the year when you can get away with almost anything, so seize the day.
Feathers and sequins add a nice retro touch to this party outfit, while the colour is audaciously optimistic. Ideal for New Year’s Eve.
A familiar sight on red carpets in recent years, blazer dresses are not only good for the day-to-day, they can also be just perfect party wear.
For proof, look no further than this dazzling silver number worn by Jasmine Tookes, which is just right for any glittering occasion.
Blazer dresses have the advantage of combining sensuality with an ultra-chic look. Everything depends on how you decide to accessorise them.
If you are allergic to dresses, not to worry. You can always opt for trousers, or shorts, and combine them with a sophisticated top.
Here the Italian designer and influencer has chosen a subtly transparent asymmetric blouse with embroidery and a 3D effect. Ultrachic!
The outfit is made even more stellar by the boots, which emphasise the rockstar look.
