Fashion: Queen of the night

Get your glam on and be the belle of the ball.

Party season has arrived with a bang and the hunt is on for the ultimate outfit. This time of year is all about letting your hair down and being your most fabulous self. Here's my selection to help you celebrate in style!

From bold colour to chic monochrome, make sure you always steal the spotlight. Naturally, sparkly pieces and fabrics with a high sheen always take centre stage. Think sophisticated and glamorous, teamed with to-die-for statement accessories and you'll never fail to impress.

Knock 'em dead in this stand-out wrap dress from TK Store. This figure-hugging dress cuts a shapely silhouette and jade green is a great festive choice. This sexy gown is perfect for highlighting a beautiful decolletage and a fab set of pins and is the epitome of dressing to kill.

If you really want to stand out from the crowd, you can't go wrong in a sequinned gold dress. Think The Great Gatsby and shimmy the night away in Trelise Cooper's dazzling Goldplay dress. It's a head-turning number and its plunging back detail gives it extra sass appeal.

White has stolen the show as this season's new evening staple, a modern alternative to the LBD. For a stylish update try Camilla and Marc's strapless Marlowe jumpsuit. The wide-leg pants and clean lines make this a must-have party staple.

Unleash your playful side with Bec and Bridge's edgy Dusk to Dawn sheer mini dress. Team this fashion-forward look with bold accessories and get the party started.

Inject some feisty Latino spirit into your wardrobe with Seed Heritage's Frill crepe dress. The tiers are feminine and flirty and the tangerine colour truly pops. Living La Vida Loca never looked so hot.

Make a dramatic entrance in Carlson's Flamboyant dress. This silver maxi reflects the light, pumping up the shine factor and putting you firmly in the frame.

Dare to bare in Helen Cherry's sultry one-shouldered tailored Lia pantsuit. This one-piece wonder will be an instant hit on the party circuit.
