Still deciding what to wear to Christmas dinner? These christmas dinner dresses give you plenty to choose from, including deep green minis, red off-the-shoulder styles and a little gold sparkle.
There’s also a skirt outfit if you’d rather put together separates.
You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the oversized bows and pretty statement earrings. Start with your favorite dress shape, then decide how much shine you want to add.
Christmas dinner looks worth saving
red draping and slim straps
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous red dress. I love the folded off-the-shoulder detail with those slim straps.
The curved seams on the bodice and diagonal gathers across the skirt make it even prettier.
If you want a little sparkle, try a pair of dangling earrings with this neckline.
green mini and pointed pumps
How cute is this green mini? The high neckline and gathered sleeves look so pretty with the tied waist and overlapping hem.
Pair yours with beige pointed pumps and a small gold-colored bag to follow this look. The little layered necklaces are worth keeping too.
dark green sparkle
I am obsessed with this dark green dress. The all-over sparkle is gorgeous, especially with the simple round neckline and long sleeves. If you like your christmas dinner dresses a little dressier, save this fitted midi.
red plaid and puffed sleeves
Love a holiday print? This red plaid dress is such a pretty option.
The puffed sleeves and full, gathered skirt give you plenty of detail without adding any sparkle to the dress itself.
Try a silver-colored shoulder bag and embellished sandals like the ones here to dress it up.
gold pleats and sculpted folds
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. There’s so much to love, from the fan-like folds around the shoulders to the long pleated skirt.
I’d keep the accessories small with this gold dress. Those oversized folds deserve their moment!
red mini and matching platforms
Don’t want to go all out with sparkles? No problem!
Try this loose red mini with its high neckline, ribbed texture and full sleeves. I love the matching red platform heels with the little ankle straps.
white mini with fluffy trim
This white mini may just be one of the cutest looks here. The fluffy-looking neckline, cuffs and hem are such sweet details.
Keep the pale pointed heels and delicate drop necklace if you want to try the same combination.
navy off-the-shoulder dress
If you’re looking for something without prints or sparkle, go with this navy dress. The wide folded neckline is gorgeous, plus the skirt falls longer at the sides.
The gold-tone earrings and thin black sandal straps are all I’d keep with this one.
silver mini and statement earrings
How pretty is this silver mini? Not gonna lie, those oversized earrings are a favorite detail too!
The dress has thin straps, a straight neckline and a little slit at the hem.
Try wearing your hair pulled back if you want to show off earrings like these.
green dress with a ruffled hem
This is another lovely green option, but it’s a little different from the fitted styles above. I love the gathered waist and wide ruffle at the bottom.
The slightly puffed shoulders are so cute with the long sleeves.
red slip-style dress
Don’t want bows, ruffles or any extra decoration? No problem there!
Simply try this long red dress with narrow straps and a softly draped neckline.
The small black bag looks lovely beside that bright red. I’d add black sandals to finish the outfit.

cream dress and green bows
I love this long cream dress with its raised cable pattern. The side slit shows off the cream socks and dark green bow heels, which are such a fun pairing.
Add large circular earrings like these if you want a little sparkle near your face.
black mini with a white bow
OMG, how adorable is that oversized bow? I am obsessed with the white neckline against the simple black mini.
The sheer black tights are a lovely addition. You could finish this look with black pointed pumps and leave the neckline just as it is.
burgundy mini and ankle boots
If you are looking for a looser dress shape, this one is for you. The burgundy mini has a V-neck, gathered sleeves and a roomy skirt, with black tights and pointed ankle boots underneath.
That chunky gold-tone necklace looks so pretty with the little gold-colored bag.
ivory sparkle and wispy trim
This is one for anyone who loves a little extra detail. The ivory mini has a sparkling surface, a V-neckline and wispy trim around the hem.
Separate sheer gloves have their own wispy trim around the arms.
I’d skip a necklace here and choose small earrings instead. There’s already so much to love about the dress.
pale pink and burgundy
The pale pink and burgundy pairing is so pretty in this collage. If you want to try something other than red or green, start with a long pink halter dress like this one.

Then add burgundy bow heels and a matching clutch. I’d choose the red drop earrings from the collage rather than layering a necklace over that high neckline.

houndstooth and embellished shoes
How cute is this black-and-white look? The houndstooth pattern runs across the long sleeves and flared mini skirt, with a square neckline up top.
Pair a similar style with black tights and pointed shoes. Don’t forget the sparkling shoe decorations if you want that same dressy finish.
red neckline and a sparkling bag
I am in love with the gathered neckline on this red dress. The off-the-shoulder shape and long sleeves look gorgeous with the large gold-tone earrings.
Try a little silver-colored bag with round handles like this one. It’s a lovely way to add sparkle without changing the rest of the outfit.
black blouse and sparkling skirt
Prefer separates to a dress? This look gives you another option. A loose black collared blouse is tucked into a sparkling mini skirt, with tall black boots below.
I love the small shoulder bag with this combination. Keep your blouse plain if you want to follow the same idea.
matching red sparkle
Last but definitely not least, we have these matching red dresses. The adult midi has full sleeves, while the child’s version has short sleeves and a shorter hem.
Both have that gorgeous all-over sparkle.
The embellished pointed shoes finish the longer dress so prettily. Save this one if you’re planning coordinating holiday outfits.
