SEASONAL SPLENDOR THIS WAY

BALMAIN

We are entering the season when shimmer feels essential, jewel tones glow richer under twinkling lights, and getting dressed becomes its own celebration. This year, step into festive fashion with pieces that bring joy, drama and cheer to every moment on your calendar.

SOUTH COAST PLAZA

THE HOLIDAY FASHION EDIT

Balmain’s black leather bodycon dress throws down the glamour gauntlet, its dramatic ruffled neckline framing the face like a festive flourish. Prefer something more subtle? A gold Saint Laurent organza blouse tied with a perfectly exaggerated bow pairs beautifully with a sleek black pencil skirt and crystal-dusted sandals, delivering shimmering elegance with every step, while Giorgio Armani’s gorgeous velvet embroidered jacket is an heirloom in the making ready to elevate even the simplest ensemble. 

Denim lovers can get their glitter on with Acne Studios’ jeans printed with ropes of crystals, paired with a soft, sparkly Brunello Cucinelli sweater, perhaps. And speaking of cozy, Max Mara‘s plush camel-hued Teddy cape wrapped over a cashmere stole embroidered with teddy bears are the warmest ways to embrace winter’s chill while staying stylish.

Add a touch of red day or night with Gucci’s GG red velvet crystal horsebit ballet flats, a cherry-hued Anne Fontaine statement belt, or Weekend Max Mara’s bordeaux “Pasticcino” bag—named after an Italian sweet, and just as delightful. Or go for a fun fringe moment with Tory Burch‘s must-have bag with delicate red and green floral embroidery and beaded fringe that sways to every holiday tune.

For those special holiday dinners or New Year’s Eve soirees, embrace full-tilt romance with Zimmermann’s black metallic frilled knit skirt and gold-studded cardigan set, or step into the new year shining in Graff‘s bow earrings, or Golden Goose’s silver sequin sneakers—true disco balls for your feet. 

Men can join the party with statement pieces of their own like Brunello Cucinelli’s ruby-red velvet tuxedo jacket—a jewel-toned gem that turns any gathering into an occasion, or Armani‘s double breasted black velvet classic. 

And for mic-dropping glamour? Oscar de la Renta’s red sculptural silk faille gown—with its oversized shoulder bow, voluminous draped skirt, and pearl-and-crystal brooch embroidery—is your ticket to unforgettable entrances.
