20 New Years Eve Dress Outfits With Sparkle, Bows and Pretty Details
Looking for new years eve dress outfits that feel a little more special? Think gold minis, a big red bow or a black dress with just a touch of sparkle.
These ideas include full-length gowns and simpler looks you can pair with your favorite boots.
You can keep it understated or go all out. I especially love the colorful dresses here, but there’s plenty to choose from if you’d rather stick to black.
New Year's Eve Dress Ideas to Save
gold sparkle and flared cuffs
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous gold mini. I love the all-over sparkle and those flared cuffs.
The rounded neckline keeps the top simple.
Try wearing your hair up like this if you want to show off a pair of long earrings.
black high neck and side slit
Don’t want to go all out with sparkle? No problem! This long black dress has a high neckline, long sleeves and a side slit.
Pair yours with beige pointed pumps like the ones here. A silver-tone bracelet is a pretty finishing touch.
one shoulder and a gold train
I am obsessed with this gold dress. The single long sleeve is gorgeous, but that floor-length panel at the waist is my favorite part.
Keep the gold ankle-strap heels if you want to follow this look. There’s already so much going on with the dress that I’d skip a necklace.
silver mini and matching heels
How cute is this silver combination? The thin-strap mini and matching heels are so pretty together.
If you want to go a step further, try the wide sparkling choker shown in the collage. The little round earrings give you a smaller accessory option too.
black mini with feathery trim
This black dress may just be one of my favorites here. I love the feathery trim around the cuffs and hem.
It gives a plain long-sleeve mini something a little different.
Black ankle-strap heels finish the outfit without adding another color.
red bubble hem
How adorable is this red dress? The strapless neckline and rounded bubble skirt make such a cute combination.
Try a chunky pale necklace like the one here if you want to dress up the open neckline. I’d keep the rest of the jewelry small.

pale gold and a feathery hem
If you love sparkle and a little extra trim, this one’s for you. The pale gold mini has one long sleeve and a feathery hem.
The gold-tone hoops and strappy heels tie everything together. You don’t need to add much more to this look.
plum dress and sparkling jewelry
I am in love with this deep plum color. The fitted paneled bodice has a delicate scalloped edge, with gathers across the top of the long skirt.
Try a sparkling necklace and drop earrings if you want the same dressed-up look. Don’t forget a little black clutch.

sweetheart neckline and gold sparkle
This is another gorgeous way to wear gold. I especially love the sweetheart neckline and the loose sleeves beside the fitted skirt.
The curved, overlapping hem is so pretty. A small pendant like the one shown is enough if you want to add a necklace.
sparkling mini with a waist tie
If you are looking for a sparkly dress with a simple shape, this one is for you. The long sleeves and high neckline leave plenty of room for that long waist tie to stand out.
Add shiny pointed pumps to follow this outfit. The dangling earrings are a lovely extra touch.
white halter and disc details
How cute is this white party look? I love the draped halter neckline and the long scarf-style tie at the neck.
The little skirt has rows of round, reflective details beneath the angled top. Try long gold-tone earrings if you want to bring in another color.
burgundy wrap and ruffled hem
Don’t want to add sequins or any extra sparkle to your dress? No problem there!
Try this burgundy wrap-style look with short sleeves and a ruffled high-low hem.

The beige pointed pumps keep the shoes simple. I’d leave the neckline open just like this.
red dress with an oversized bow
Okay, this bow is absolutely gorgeous. The back of the red dress has a deep V above a huge bow, with long tails hanging over the flared skirt.
If you want to show off that back detail, try wearing your hair in an updo.
black mini with a sheer overlay
If you’re looking for a black dress that’s a little different, go with this one. A sparkling net-like overlay extends above the solid neckline and below the mini hem.
I love the longer open layer over the legs. The slim ankle-strap heels let you keep the shoes understated.
black sparkle and tights
This is such a pretty all-black outfit. The long-sleeve sparkling mini looks lovely with black tights and pointed shoes.
The little decorations on the shoes are my favorite extra detail. Add a black shoulder bag with a chain strap to finish the combination.
blazer dress and patterned tights
I am obsessed with these floral-patterned tights. They look so good beneath the plain black blazer dress, especially with those wide lapels.
Try a short gold-tone necklace and a bag with a chunky gold-colored chain. Those two accessories are all I’d add.
emerald green from head to toe
The matching green pieces are so cute in this collage. There’s a sweetheart neckline, gathered long sleeves and a flared skirt covered in sparkling details.

Pair a dress like this with green ankle-strap heels and a small matching bag. The little bow earrings are worth a closer look too.
dark shimmer and fringe
Love fringe but want to keep the color simple? This dark mini has thin straps, a V neckline and layers of fringe with a subtle gold-colored shimmer.
I’d add plain black heels rather than another sparkly piece. The dress already has plenty of little details to enjoy.
off-shoulder mini and tall boots
Don’t want to go overboard with your New Year's Eve outfit? Try this taupe ribbed mini with a wide fold-over neckline and long sleeves.
I love the tall black boots and matching shoulder bag. A short gold-tone necklace gives the outfit a little shine without changing its simple look.
pink gown and butterfly details
Last but definitely not least, we have this all-out pink outfit collage. I am obsessed with the sparkling gown and its long, sheer outer panels.
There’s plenty of accessory inspo here, from pink platform heels to butterfly jewelry. I’d choose the butterfly earrings and white floral bag rather than wearing every sparkling piece at once.
