New Year's Eve is the perfect excuse to bring out your boldest, most exciting wardrobe pieces: sky-high shoes, form-fitting silhouettes, and the coolest costume jewelry. The more eye-catching, the better.
Ahead, we're highlighting our favorite embellished dresses to ring in the new year in style. Whether you want a stunning hem-to-hem sequin mini, a metallic number with layers upon layers of gold fringe, or a more subtle black midi with just a few rows of glitz, we have something that will have you sparkling just as much as your Champagne.

ASOS Design Mini Dress in Velvet with Art Nouveau Embellishment in Dark Green
Rows of intricate pearl detailing, crystal embellishments, and peek-a-boo mesh panels give this long-sleeved mini ($170, originally $212) a celebratory look and feel. We love the rich forest-green velvet material and the regal mock neck. Since the dress itself is as decorative as a piece of jewelry, keep your accessories simple. A pair of classic black pumps will do the trick.
