Our Favorite Embellished Dresses For a Glitzy New Year's Eve

Rows of intricate pearl detailing, crystal embellishments, and peek-a-boo mesh panels give this long-sleeved mini ($170, originally $212) a celebratory look and feel. We love the rich forest-green velvet material and the regal mock neck. Since the dress itself is as decorative as a piece of jewelry, keep your accessories simple. A pair of classic black pumps will do the trick.

You'll stand out from the crowd in this beautiful long-sleeved mini ($262, originally $327) in pastel green. Embellished with little pearls and sequins throughout, it's both elegant and playful. Pair it with a bold white headband (as pictured) and some strappy silver heels, and you'll be ready for your celebratory New Year's Eve out on the town.

For a vibrant, eye-catching take on the little black dress, try this striking mini ($545) embellished with an array of orange, pink, and red flowers (complete with plenty of sequins, too). The best part: with adjustable straps, you can ensure the square neckline and low back hit right where you want.

If you prefer a midi dress, we've got a sophisticated but still plenty festive option ($93, originally $185) right here. With a flattering wrap silhouette, billowy blouson sleeves, and a super-low V-neck, it's the perfect evening dress for the holiday season and beyond. We didn't even mention the vertical rows of sparkling sequins and silver studs. There's just that much to love.

This dress ($148, originally $185) is embellished not with sequins, studs, or pearls, but with shards upon shards of shiny fringe. With a festive pinky-red hue and a devilish side slit, it's got party written all over it.

Bring back the '60s this New Year's Eve with this disco mini ($112, originally $140) featuring rows of square silver sequins, a square neckline, and cutouts. Adjust the straps to suit your shape, pop on a pair of shoes, and you'll be the most dazzling guest at the party.

The only thing more festive than the sequin-embellished bodice of this dress ($995) is the golden fringe skirt. It's simply stunning from hem to hem. Need to get really fancy for your New Year's Eve party? Slip on a faux-fur coat and some velvet pumps for a black-tie look that'll turn heads.

Get in on the Barbiecore trend with this dazzling dress ($108, originally $135).

Perhaps you don't want hem-to-hem sparkle and prefer something just a bit more subtle. Try this sophisticated long-sleeved mini ($228) by Tadashi Shoji. With sequined cuffs and slit, it's got just the right amount of sparkle to stun on New Year's Eve and any other time of year.

This party-ready minidress ($695) features sequin flowers atop a fitted long-sleeved nude sheath.
