As we race into December, with Christmas so close you can practically hear the jingle of Santa’s sleigh, the pile of party invites is becoming perilously high

But with each invite, that voice in our heads saying, “What I’m I going to wear?” is getting louder and more desperate.

So forget about the list of stuff you’re meant to be buying for other people – the time has come to shop for some of your own serious partywear.

Fortunately, celebs are on hand to show us just how to get through the festive season looking gorgeous and glam – without falling into the Christmas pitfall that is glitz and gaudiness with the very best frocks around.
