6 Sequin Outfit Ideas for the Star That You Are
Whether you’re getting glammed up for a Gatsby-themed party or girls’ night out, here are six looks that’ll make you the main event.
1. There’s No Such Thing as Too Much Shimmer
When curating sequin outfit ideas, some women might opt for hints of sparkle here and there. But if you ask us, there’s no such thing as too much shimmer!
Get the Look: GL3051 - Straight Across Sequin Embellished Mermaid Dress w/ Open Lace-up Back
We’re kicking off our list of sequin outfit ideas with a showstopper that’s dripping in sparkle. Light up the room and let your outfit do the talking in this blinding masterpiece by Elizabeth K. Its fabric offers an almost iridescent effect as it catches the light, revealing mesmerizing shades of blue, purple, and more against gold.
The criss-cross back and slit elevate this minimalist silhouette with the right amount of red-carpet glam. Its bodycon design skims your body beautifully, while the mermaid skirt pools on the floor, giving you the illusion of gliding on water.
Featuring a straight-across neckline, this creation frames your features without taking the spotlight off the dress.
Crafted from an all-sequin material, this dress needs very little else to shine—you can easily capture hearts with a few accessories. Wondering what color shoes go with a gold sequin dress? We’d opt for something understated to ensure this sequin dress remains the focal point of your outfit.
2. Be the Life of the Party in a Bold Sequin Dress
Here’s a sequin outfit idea that makes it clear the party doesn’t start without you.
Get the Look: GL3204 - Asymmetric Sequin Mesh Mermaid Long Dress w/ Cut-out Front
Sequin dresses are known for being showstoppers, but who says you can’t take it to the next level? In a striking shade of Barbie pink—on point with the resurgence of Y2K colors—this dress is ideal for affairs where fun (and maybe a bit of mischief) is on the agenda.
The flirty cut-out design accentuates your decolletage, while the asymmetrical neckline offers a unique touch, perfect for women who love making a statement. But the party doesn’t stop at the front—twirl to reveal a sultry open back that’s just begging you to wear your hair up.
With so much going on up top, we’d recommend keeping accessories simple. Opt for delicate earrings, a dainty bracelet, and a diamond ring for extra sparkle.
3. Keep It Classy in Timeless, Muted Colors
Sequin dresses can sometimes seem too fun for formal affairs, as they’re often associated with festive events such as New Year’s Eve parties. If you’re worried about looking too playful for your event, you might try a formal sequin dress in a muted shade and streamlined style.
Get the Look: GL3121 - Sequin Bead Lace-up Back Trumpet Dress w/ Mesh Tail
This trumpet dress from GLS by Gloria, for example, is ideal for traditionally formal events such as galas and fundraisers, ensuring you exude elegance all evening. Its tulle fabric is embellished with sequins arranged in a branch-like pattern, adding both depth and visual impact while maintaining the dress’s timeless appeal. And with its voluminous tail, it’s guaranteed to get you noticed.
Get the Look: GL3080 - Halter Neck Velvet Sequin Long Dress w/ Ruched Bodice
Besides a neutral-tone dress, a black dress with sequin embellishments is a must-have in your wardrobe. Not only is it effortlessly chic, but it also offers endless styling possibilities. You can update your look each time with carefully curated accessories, allowing you to re-wear your dress while keeping each look “new” and fresh.
4. Make Eyes Linger in a Multi-Textured Dress
Don’t you just adore a multi-textured moment? The fusion of different materials creates such a complex look that captivates everyone you meet. Take our next sequin outfit idea, for example—featuring a sequin base adorned with embroidery, it offers visual elements that make the dress more glamorous than it already is. It’s so visually interesting that it’ll leave people eager to get to know the beautiful woman wearing it.
Get the Look: GL3285 - Bead Sequin Asymmetric Sheer Side Mermaid Long Dress
Make jaws drop in this jewel-tone dress. Although it boasts a sleek, fitted shape, this dress rivals even the most billowy designs in terms of glamor. Featuring an embroidered sheer side, this sequin dress is designed to draw attention to the waist. The floral pattern breaks up the solid silhouette, creating a more interesting look, while its tie-back design gives you the fit of your dreams.
Ideal for bold fashionistas, this dress celebrates the skin with its daring details. Its long slit gives you legs for days, while the beaded detail on the thigh adds a sexy touch inspired by “peek-a-boo” garters.
5. Get Double the Sparkle with a Sequin-and-Glitter Combo
Up your outfit’s sparkle factor in a gown adorned with sequins and glitter. These shimmery sisters work perfectly together—sequins grab people’s attention, while the glitter fills in the gaps between them to ensure every inch shines.
Get the Look: GL3369 - Glitter Sequin Mermaid Mesh Long Dress w/ Detachable Side Mesh Drapes
We’re head over heels for this sequin outfit idea, perfect for those wishing to exude an ethereal vibe at their next event. Violet sequins cascade from bodice to hem, complemented by trails of lilac glitter that accentuate every curve. The tulle fabric infuses this piece with a soft and enchanting flair, balancing the bold edge offered by the sequins. With its flowy cape, this dress feels like something you’d wear while dramatically running through the hallways of a castle.
Not sure what shoes to wear with a sequin dress such as this stunner? Since this dress isn’t completely covered in sequins, you have the freedom to wear more striking footwear. Sparkly silver heels or minimalist options would pair fabulously with this number—you could even slip into deep purple heels for a monochromatic look!
6. Hit the Town in a Short Sequin Dress
Trade your usual going-out attire for something more memorable—something that says, “Now that’s who I want to be around.”
