Sequins dresses are meant to sparkle and they are the ones of the biggest trends in party wear for Winter 2009/2010! Especially for Christmas or New Year’s Eve the shiny dresses are the perfect outfit! You can work the dress with sparkly accessories but just choose one or two pieces and avoid too much around the neckline, instead try eye catching bangles, bracelets, earrings and clutch bags.

What do you think of the celebrity stars’ sequined dresses? Would you wear them?
