Every festive season, we find ourselves so caught up in the chaos that is Christmas—planning food, outfits and presents—that the fact a second major event, New Year’s Eve, falls just a week later, slips our minds.
That holiday haze that we often find ourselves in, in between Christmas and New Year’s, when we lose all track of what day it is, doesn’t help either, as we realise, we’ve left it to the last minute to find a party-appropriate outfit.
However, this year, we are more-than ready to celebrate, starting with a glamorous ensemble.
No matter your plans, we’ve rounded up a New Year’s Eve outfit for every occasion to shop now (and be party-ready too).

After studying a Bachelor of Journalism at The University of Wollongong and Fashion Business at FBI Fashion College, Maddison began her now decade-long career in the media industry. She’s worked across print, digital and affiliates at some of Australia’s biggest entertainment, lifestyle and fashion titles (ELLE, Marie Claire, The Australian Women’s Weekly, Who, Girlfriend and more) covering the latest trends, cultural moments and celeb news. Currently the Senior Shopping Editor at Marie Claire and ELLE, she combines her digital expertise and ability to scroll through endless online shopping sites without tire to help fashion-devotees like her find the perfect item. From trying on countless pairs of jeans in the name of research to dissecting the latest runway shows and trawling through TikTok trends for hours on end, her obsession with finding the next must-have buy—whether it be in fashion, beauty, travel or homewares—knows no bounds.
Rebecca Mitchell is a senior writer at marie claire Australia. She graduated from Charles Sturt University in 2011 already with solid media experience under her belt.
