Elie Saab

The stars of New Year’s Eve got into the festive spirit for the Los Angeles premiere last night, and we saw three of the biggest trends for the holiday season hit the red carpet—sparkle, lace, and LBD. Hilary Swank (in Elie Saab) and Lea Michele (in Valentino) both went for high shine. “It reminded me most of New Year’s!” Michele said of why she picked her gown. Meanwhile, Katherine Heigl chose a lace design by Dolce & Gabbana, and Sofia Vergara rounded out the holiday theme with a Zac Posen bustier-style LBD. The film hits theaters Friday.

It’s easy being green! The year kicked off with loads of green dresses at the Golden Globes, and it’s ending with a kick of the color, too. Zoe Saldana worked a sequin Kelly green crewneck Elie Saab look for the Latin Grammy Awards last week; Andrea Riseborough, star of the upcoming Madonna-directed flick W.E., went for an emerald Dolce & Gabbana design at the Toronto International Film Festival; and Gwyneth Paltrow picked up her Bambi Award in Germany last Thursday in a fern green Elie Saab gown with a plunging neckline.
