3 Last-Minute New Year’s Eve Outfit Ideas
With 2012 coming to a close, it’s time to go out with a bang by rocking an awesome outfit on New Year’s Eve!
However, if you still have no clue what you’ll be wearing tomorrow night, don’t worry! We’ve come up with three sparkly and stylish head-to-toe NYE looks – hair and makeup ideas included. Simply scroll on down to check ‘em out:
Outfit Idea #1: Cozy Night In

If your NYE plans consist of lounging with friends or fam and watching the ball drop on TV, you’ll want to wear something cozy and low-key that still packs a stylish punch. Opt for a striped knit sweater with sequined detailing, because, in our opinion, every NYE ensemble needs a little sparkle. Add a pair of jade green skinnies as well as some super-comfy studded moccasins.
Style your hair into a chic, low bun — similar to the pic above — then accessorize that ‘do with a braided metallic headband. Shimmering blush will give your cheeks a rosy glow, while leopard print nail polish strips are a fun and low-maintenance touch. Finally, show off that mani with an oversized cocktail ring.
Outfit Idea #2: House Party

Whether you’re near campus or back in your hometown, odds are that someone you know is throwing a New Year’s bash. If you plan on attending a house party this year, wear something bold that’s sure to stand out in a crowd, like the outfit above.
To get this look, start with a black blouse – this one mixes chiffon and velvet to create a luxe look – and pair it with a pretty metallic skirt. Lace tights add a feminine vibe, while deep purple pumps lend a pop of color.Accessorize with gold chain earrings and a unique fur-trimmed bag.
As far as hair and makeup goes, mimic Natalie Portman’s look by styling your hair into soft waves and sporting a sultry smokey eye. For the finishing touch, paint your nails a gorgeous black-and-gold shade.
Outfit Idea #3: Fancy Night Out

If you’re attending a super-fancy NYE soiree, first of all, we’re jealous! Secondly, this is the perfect time to go all out with a sparkly, glamorous, “look-at-me” outfit. This gold sequined frock is the epitome of glam, and styling it with a tuxedo blazer creates a polished, party-ready look. Add a pair of platform pumps and sapphire blue stud earrings to continue the dressy look, then accessorize with a whimsical bow-shaped clutch.
Wearing your hair to the side complements the dress/blazer combo, while chrome nail polish gives your digits an awesome mirrored effect. Next, try wearing some false lashes for a movie star-worthy look. Finally, a deep red lip stain adds a pretty dose of color that won’t need reapplying.
