Christmas Trends Inspired by Iconic Holiday Looks
“Fashion is like eating. You shouldn’t stick to the same menu.” —Kenzo Takada
Why settle for the same holiday sweater every year when you can level up your look with Style Carousel? From dazzling sequins to bold, statement-making silhouettes, we’ve curated holiday-ready styles paired with iconic fashion quotes for that extra dash of inspiration. The best part? Rent, strut, and return—it’s the ultimate wardrobe hack for the fashion-forward (and budget-savvy) among us.
CULT GAIA
“I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.” —Vera Wang
Get ready to turn heads in this feather-trimmed, embellished crepe mini dress. Picture this: you walk into the party, and all eyes are on you—not just the dress. That’s the magic here. It’s the kind of outfit you might only wear once, and that’s exactly why renting is genius. Pair it with a pop of red, and voilà—holiday glamour nailed.
ASHISH
“I firmly believe that with the right footwear, one can rule the world.” —Bette Midler
This fringe-trimmed, sequined Georgette mini dress is a walking invitation to dance. From its green sparkle to its flirty open back, it’s the definition of slinky. Oh, and those tassels? They’re basically your dance partners. Shoes? Go bold with sky-high heels—this dress demands them.
16Arlington
“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.” —Hubert de Givenchy
The Syrma Sequined Embellished Mini Dress is your ticket to effortless elegance this holiday season. Spaghetti straps meet a ruffled hem in a look that’s both playful and poised. Bonus: when someone inevitably asks about “16Arlington,” you’ll have a quirky story ready.
Eliya the Label
“People will stare. Make it worth their while.” —Harry Winston
Warning: the Alison Mini Dress is dangerously adorable. With its oversized bow, flirty sash, and just a hint of skin, this piece is a party unto itself. Pair with high heels (not too high—you want to last the night) and prepare for compliments. Oh, and brunch the next day? Totally appropriate.
Elie Saab
“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.” —Bill Cunningham
For those early spring events—or when you’re channeling St. Patrick’s Day chic—this long-sleeved, lacy mini in Kelly green is a standout. The A-line silhouette flatters, the crew neck draws eyes upward, and the vibrant color is a total confidence booster.
Isabel Marant
“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess… It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.” —Iris Apfel
Cue the attitude. This dark silver romper is shimmery, slinky, and sharp. With its tuxedo-inspired lapels and daring neckline, it’s a whole vibe. Pair it with a silk blouse or, for the bold, nothing at all. Either way, you’ll own the dance floor.
Badgley Mischka
“Luxury is the ease of a T-shirt in a very expensive dress.” —Karl Lagerfeld
This ombre sequined gown may not be a T-shirt, but it’s just as easy to wear—and infinitely more glamorous. Floor-length and dripping in drama, it’s the perfect pick for your most nerve-wracking soirée. Slip it on, breathe deeply, and let Badgley Mischka work its magic.
Alberta Ferretti
“I think we all know boldness when we see it.” —Angelina Jolie
Metallic silk-blend lamé never looked so good. With its floral detailing and bow embellishments, this gown is a tactile dream—you’ll have to fend off admirers wanting to touch the fabric. Perfect for the bold and unapologetically glamorous.
Solace London
“You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes.” —Christian Dior
Enter the Meyer Mini Dress, a hot pink stunner that pulls zero punches. Forget subtlety—this dress is here to make an entrance. Pair it with heels that command respect (and maybe a double-take).
Eliya the Label
“Style is knowing what suits you, who you are, and what your assets are.” —Bianca Jagger
Sequins and sass, this fitted mini is a showstopper. The beaded, multi-colored fabric catches the light (and everyone’s attention), making it perfect for a big night out—or just because you feel like it. With Style Carousel, any night can be extraordinary.
“I believe you have to be ready for the open door, the opportunity.” —Coco Mitchell
