Take note from Swarovski—here’s how to dress for celebrations this season
Leave it to Swarovski, one of Remix’s favourites for all things glam, to give us the ultimate masterclass in celebration dressing for the season. From glittering soirées to intimate gatherings, the right outfit paired with the perfect jewellery can elevate your festive moments into something truly unforgettable. It began with the announcement of Ariana Grande as a new ambassador of the house, a collaboration that was launched earlier this season in the stunning Party of Dreams holiday campaign. And now, well into the swing of the social calendar, we’ve concluded that Swarovski is definitely the authority in festive dressing.
Ariana’s influence as a style icon is undeniable. ‘Celebrating at the Party of Dreams, surrounded by the coolest, most glamorous guests decked in Swarovski jewels, was an unforgettable experience,’ she told us, with her signature palpable enthusiasm. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially during a season defined by celebration and escapism.
In the campaign, Ariana shone in radiant pieces from Swarovski's iconic Millenia and Matrix Crash collections, styled in a breathtaking couture look designed by Swarovski’s Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert. The collaboration highlighted not only Ariana's undeniable fashion prowess but also her ability to embody the spirit of inclusivity and self-expression. ‘The energy on set was contagious—we had so much fun dancing that no one wanted to go home!’ she told us, underscoring her joyful approach to both fashion and life.
For anyone looking to channel Ariana’s signature festive glam, here’s how our editors are taking cues from Swarovski’s Party Of Dreams campaign.
1. Make Jewellery Your Statement Piece
When it comes to festive dressing, the right jewellery can—and should—completely transform your outfit. Swarovski’s Millenia and Matrix Crash collections are perfect for this. The Millenia collection, with its strikingly modern designs and innovative crystal cuts, captures the light from every angle, adding a captivating brilliance to your ensemble. The bold, geometric shapes make a statement without feeling overwhelming. Pair the Millenia Clip Earrings with a simple, sleek dress, and you’ll instantly elevate your look—just like Ariana did in the campaign.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, Matrix is for those who like a little artistic flair. The intricate crystal arrangements in this collection blend contemporary sophistication with timeless luxury. Try a bold Matrix Y necklace with a deep-V evening gown or a pair of earrings with a high-necked outfit for a dramatic effect.
2. Embrace Glamour & Playfulness
Festive dressing is all about having fun with your style. Don’t be afraid to go bold. Ariana’s look in the Party of Dreams campaign is the perfect example: bold outfits, radiant jewels, and a joyful spirit. With her always-cute high ponytail and glittering accessories, it’s definitely a look for the season.
To get this look, start with something eye-catching—whether it’s a dress with metallic accents or a sparkly top. Then, layer on pieces from the Millenia collection, like this choker—a bold vision for the season.
3. Choose Pieces That Reflect Your Personal Style
One of the most inspiring elements of Swarovski’s holiday campaign is how the pieces highlight the personalities and personal styles of its ambassadors. Ariana Grande’s playful and feminine vibe is only enhanced by the sparkling designs she wears, still feeling true to her signature look.
Our lasting advice is this—when choosing your holiday accessories, think about your own style and personality. Are you drawn to minimalist elegance or bold, artistic designs? Whether you prefer the clean lines of Millenia or the geometric modernism of Matrix, Swarovski continues to serve as the perfect inspiration for this time of year.
