Velvet may not be the easiest fabric to wear, but worked into a point-toe stiletto it adds perfect winter opulence.
Match a Vaccarello mini with biker boots and bare legs (prep milky pins with Sisley tan lotion).
Shoulder-grazing bejewelled earrings by Butler & Wilson are the ideal foil to a faithful LBD.
Glue mini sequins to the upper lash line for eye-catching party beauty.
Add a crazy-coloured faux-fur stole; look to Charlotte Simone for the jazziest.
Invest in one of Delpozo’s buoyant, ankle-skimming full skirts for red-carpet glamour. Olivia Palermo and Lauren Santo Domingo are big fans of this storied Spanish house.
Sophisticated hair jewellery is the new way to wear gems; Meadham Kirchhoff’s crystal arrows hit the spot, or Dolce & Gabbana’s golden crowns look uniquely majestic.
A feathered skirt needs little more than a crisp white shirt or favourite sweater.
Try a jumpsuit – our favourite is Emilia Wickstead’s in red.
Go for gilt – condense this season’s metallic trend into silver and gold shimmering heels and flats for an immediate festive look.
Brush up the tuxedo with an ad hoc cluster of vintage bejewelled brooches pinned to the satin lapel.
Rethink black lace – go white instead. Look to Alessandra Rich for haute options.
The neckline of note now is strictly off-the-shoulder; look to Nina Ricci, Jonathan Saunders, Christopher Kane and Prada for inspiration.
Colour-clash accessories: pink with green, and blue with yellow are winning combinations now.
Beat the chills – a beatnik poloneck under an embellished party dress spells instant chic.
Hair update: a Sixties party ponytail with backcombed volume at the crown sets a look off with a swing. Or weave strips of sparkling fabric into braids and twisted chignons.
