Jessica Chastain donned head-to-toe Ralph Lauren Collection (nearly $7,000 worth!) for the brand's runway show in September. Though you don't have to shell out nearly as much for a similar look, you'll definitely get your money's worth out of it: It's equally suited for an office holiday party as is does for drinks and dinner after work, and the neutral elements serve as the perfect base for infinite additional outfits

Tuxedo dressing has been on-trend for a few years now, and Dakota Johnson's white mini version by Area (worn with Jimmy Choo heels and Ana Khouri hoops) is a fresh take — not to mention, a flattering cut for most body types. Subtly glittery accents, from the cap-toe on a pump to the chain-mesh look of a slouchy shoulder bag, add a low-key but high-impact finishing touch.

Polka dots have a reputation for being sweet and summery, but by adding metallic Aquazzura heels and a glitzy belt by Alessandra Rich (who also designed the dress), Ana de Armas brings the print firmly into the festive season. And, psst: The total of our entire look for less will do less damage to your wallet than de Armas' $655 belt alone.

This is your sign to try monochromatic dressing — and to do it in a bold color! Viola Davis (in $6,170 worth of Alexander McQueen) shows that, while the trend can be intimidating on paper, it's effortlessly eye-catching in practice. Consider amping up your glam, as Viola did with her red lip and mega lashes, to complement the room-commanding nature of the look.
