Sexy Christmas party outfits for women
Christmas is the perfect excuse to go all out with a glamorous outfit. Think plunging necklines, figure-hugging silhouettes, thigh-high slits, statement backs and sparkling fabrics. Red is always a classic for the holidays, but you don’t have to stick to traditional Christmas colors. Black, white, burgundy, silver and gold can look just as festive, especially when paired with statement jewelry and heels.
If you’re looking for something sexy but still elegant, I love the idea of balancing a revealing detail with a more covered-up silhouette. A mini dress with long sleeves, a fitted maxi dress with an open back or a high-neck dress with a dramatic slit can all look stunning.
Sexy Christmas party dresses
A sexy Christmas party dress is one of the easiest ways to create a head-turning holiday look. From slinky satin dresses and red velvet minis to cut-out designs, corset bodices and plunging necklines, there are plenty of options depending on your style and the occasion. For something more formal, a fitted maxi dress with a thigh-high slit or open back can be just as sexy as a mini dress. For cocktail parties and festive nights out, a short red dress or embellished mini is always a fun option.
If you want more inspiration, I’ve also rounded up my favorite Christmas party dresses for everything from cocktail parties to formal holiday events.
Sexy Christmas Party Outfit | Cut Out White Dress
It doesn’t get much sexier than this white cut-out dress with its thigh-high slit and bra-style top. If you’re looking for a statement white dress, this white cut-out dress is one of the sexiest styles I’ve come across. It’s definitely a look where the fit matters, as you’ll want to make sure everything that’s supposed to be covered stays covered.
I’d keep the accessories relatively simple and let the dramatic cut-outs do the talking. Metallic heels, a small evening bag and delicate jewelry would finish the look beautifully.
Sexy red Christmas mini dress
This scandalous red chainmail mini dress with its low-cut neckline and draped back is a total head-turner. A little naughty, a little nice and a whole lot of spice!
Red is one of my favorite colors for making a statement during the holidays, and a dress like this doesn’t need much styling. I’d pair it with sleek heels and a structured evening bag rather than competing statement pieces.

Sequin mini dresses
Christmas parties are one of the best occasions to bring out the sequins. A fitted sequin mini dress in gold, silver, black or red is an easy way to make a statement. If you’re wearing an all-over sequin dress, I’d keep the accessories polished and simple. Pointed-toe heels and a small evening bag are usually all you need.
Corset and bustier dresses
Corset and bustier dresses are another way to create a sexy Christmas outfit without relying on a super-short hemline. The structured bodice creates definition at the waist and adds interest to a simple dress. For a glamorous evening look, try a fitted corset-style midi or maxi dress with heels and statement earrings.
Sexy Christmas outfits with trousers
Not every sexy Christmas party outfit needs to involve a dress. High-waisted tailored trousers with a fitted bodysuit, corset top or off-the-shoulder top can look just as glamorous. Black trousers with a fitted black top, statement heels and gold jewelry are a particularly versatile option. You can also add a tailored blazer or a dramatic coat for a more polished finish.
Velvet Christmas dresses
Velvet is one of those fabrics that instantly feels festive. Red, burgundy and black velvet dresses are beautiful options for Christmas parties, especially when you want something glamorous without wearing sequins. A fitted velvet mini dress or a longer style with a statement neckline can both work beautifully with metallic accessories.
Sexy Christmas costumes for adults
If you’re heading to a Christmas-themed costume party rather than a traditional holiday celebration, that’s where the sexy Santa and elf outfits come in. Red velvet Mrs. Claus costumes with white faux-fur trims, festive bodysuits and playful elf outfits are fun alternatives to a traditional Christmas party dress. Some are more suited to themed parties, while others are definitely better saved for a private celebration! I wouldn’t necessarily wear one to a regular Christmas cocktail party, but for a festive fancy-dress event, they fit the occasion.
How to style a sexy Christmas outfit
The easiest way to make a sexy Christmas outfit feel polished is to choose one statement detail and build the rest of the look around it.
If your dress has a plunging neckline, you might prefer a longer hemline. If you’re wearing a mini dress, long sleeves or a higher neckline can create a beautiful balance. And if you’re going for sequins or chainmail, simple accessories help keep the focus on the outfit.
I also love mixing textures for the holidays. Think velvet with gold jewelry, satin with sparkling accessories or tailored trousers with a fitted bodysuit.

Sexy Christmas Accessories
The right accessories can take a simple outfit from everyday to festive without making it look like a costume. Some of my favorite ways to finish a sexy Christmas party outfit include statement earrings, metallic heels, crystal-embellished bags, sheer tights and gold jewelry.
For costume parties, you can have a little more fun with Santa hats, elf hats, faux-fur trims and other themed accessories. Most complete Christmas costumes already include some of these details, so check what’s included before buying extras.
