All That Glitters: 2018’s Most Dazzling Jewels, Bags, and Shoes to Inspire Your New Year’s Eve Look

We’re not in the business of mandating dress codes here at Vogue, but if we had to apply a rule for New Year’s Eve, it would be sparkle. Crazy sparkle. When else do you get the chance to wear a lamé minidress, glitter eye shadow, and bedazzled boots all at the same time?

Of course, it helps that there are so many ways to sparkle in 2018; the runways have been caked in glitter for a few seasons now, from Saint Laurent (in an ultra-sexy, ’80s-ish way) to Simone Rocha (a quirkier kind of shine). If you’re pressed for time—or just can’t justify head-to-toe metallics—a light-reflecting accessory can get the job done, too. On the jewelry front, there are Dries Van Noten’s stacked-up cocktail rings, Ralph Lauren’s layered heirloom necklaces, and Gucci’s nipple-grazing earrings—or consider a glitzy boot, like Christopher Kane’s crystal-studded pair or Miu Miu’s party heels. Celine and Rodarte made the case for sparkling veils and hair accessories, too.

Above, we’ve pulled 20 of the year’s best, flashiest accessories to inspire your New Year’s Eve look. With extras this dazzling, no one will even notice you’re wearing last year’s dress.
