Celebspiration: What you can wear to this year's Christmas party

This festive season, ditch the boring blacks.
Take a cue from these celebs to nail your party look.

Rise and shine

Whether you are partying indoors or outdoor, pick a winning dress that shimmers like Sayani Ghosh's and you'll not want any accessories.
Just add a pair of shiny shoes, some eye make up and you're good to roll.

Red

Santa's favouite colour, red is the colour of the season.
Malaika Arora's sheer and embroidery look with a wee bit of tassels should inspire you on how to make heads turn.

Black, not boring

If at all, you choose to go black, pick one with an interesting collar, or a cape, like the one Kiara Advani is sporting on the ramp.

Floral inspiration

You can also add a feminine twist to your evening gown with floral motifs like Disha Patani or Sunny Leone.

Stand out

If you are all for experimentation and wouldn't mind raising some eyebrows, Ranveer Singh's rainbow shirt should be your benchmark.

The other blouse

Go ahead and mix tradition with the latest trend -- the other blouse. Pair your favourite designer sari with a quirky, unconventional blouse and see how'll become the next style diva.

Casual is the new cool

Even if it is a house party, you can ace the casual look with an off shoulder top like Shraddha's (left), a frilled sari (centre) or pair a silk slit kurti with denims.

Accessorize!

And don't forget to accessorise your look. Choose a pair of statement earrings or neckpiece to go with your outfit and the world is your ramp. Go girl, rock that party like a star.
