The Rockefeller Tree is lit, Hanukkah begins next week and the occasion for getting glam for holiday fetes is right around the corner! To make sure you’ve got your sparkle on, here are the looks from my annual Holiday Dressing segment for your entire family for NBC’s Today show.

GOLDEN STARS

It’s a pure metallic moment on the fashion scene—like this pure, liquid gold—with highly reflective threads for our first group. Look for this in dresses, skirts, and metallic motifs like stars to make the season extra bright!

I adore a blue blazer on a dad to complement his golden girls with sleek dark separates underneath minus the tie. He can go from office to play in a matter of minutes.
