Photographed by Huy Luong

For those mindful of their budgets this time of year, the best New Year’s Eve dresses might not rank high among essential purchases—there are all the gifts (including those last-minute presents) to consider! Add to that, December 31st may be given more significance than it needs, as there are many “new year” days and eves throughout the year. But no other New Year calls for a look quite like the end of December—and if you plan on closing the book on the last 365 days in style, why not skip the frazzled post-Christmas shopping rush and lock in the perfect party dress now?

Hitting a storied ballroom? Opt for a black tie-worthy gown from The Row or Victoria Beckham. Going to a chic soirée at your best friend’s apartment? Try a sparkly mini by Ganni or an asymmetrical sheath from Taller Marmo. After-party at a club? Go for oversized sequins by Staud or an of-the-moment hoop skirt from Tory Burch.

Whether you opt for a navy number from J.Crew’s collaboration with Christopher John Rogers, an ornate silver style from Clio Peppiatt, or a demure black long sleeve from Proenza Schouler, there are options that both celebrate the past and look forward to the future in style.

Wherever you land on the last day of the year, these dresses are perfect for ringing in 2025—party pumps and dazzling little clutch not included.
