Metallic dresses are always a holiday favorite. Their laminated surface, bright sparkle, and glossy sheen create a festive mood that’s hard to match. With a metallic dress, you can skip the accessories and still feel completely glamorous and ready for any celebration.

And because it is December, it’s time to round up our favorite metallic dresses worn by celebrities this year. If you need inspiration on how to dress up for the holiday season, try the following or check out these dresses worn by Céline Dion and Ciara:
1. Taylor Swift in Julien Macdonald
Her exes might not be keen on seeing her again, but this 23-year-old country singer was a sight to behold at the 2013 AMAs.
Taylor Swift was a big winner in the music scene and the fashion scene because of the above gold Julien Macdonald dress that she paired with strappy Jimmy Choo sandals.

2. Rita Ora in Dona Karan Atelier
With Rita Ora’s frequent crossover into the fashion world, she could be mistaken as a model.
She had everyone staring at her gold Dona Karan Atelier frock at the Angel Ball 2013 hosted by Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation, completely outshining the real models in attendance.

4. Marion Cotillard in Dior
Thirty-eight-year-old actress Marion Cotillard took on a dress silhouette that can easily look unflattering to lesser mortals: a silver Dior dress.
She displayed enough fashion sense by keeping the styling starkly simple and letting the silver dress do the talking.

5. Emily Blunt in Michael Kors
Emily Blunt has always been a force to be reckoned with on the red carpet. She looked every inch the style-driven character she portrayed in The Devil Wears Prada in her golden Michael Kors dress with cutout details at the waist.
