Ring in 2021 in the Hottest New Year’s Eve Dress You Can Find

Picture this: You’re holding a glass of champagne (or sparkling cider, if that’s more your jam), there are a mere 10 seconds left until the new year, and you’ve just been named best-dressed at the party. Honestly, it sounds like something out of my wildest dreams, but with the right New Year’s Eve dress, it can become a reality for us all. NYE is one night a year where we can all dress as over-the-top as we please, and no one can say a thing about it—including you, mom! Luckily, there are endless plus-size New Year’s Eve dresses perfect for celebrating the end of one era and ushering in another, all while looking absolutely gorgeous.

Though there are other times when dressing up to your heart’s content is definitely acceptable—i.e. your birthday week—New Year’s Eve is *the* time when it’s not only OK, but encouraged. Going all-out for NYE festivities is a must. It doesn’t matter if you’re a minimalist, capsule wardrobe fan every other day of the year. When it comes to New Year’s Eve, everyone should shed their safest selves and go bold AF.

Of course, having the perfect plus-size New Year’s Eve dresses to help you achieve that is definitely necessary. But have no fear—there are so many (!) stunning NYE frocks waiting to join your wardrobe this season. You can go for a velvet slip dress that’s ultra-luxurious or try a sequin mini dress for a stand-out look. The world (so, New Year’s Eve dress options) is your oyster.

All there’s left to do now? Shop your heart out. I’ve rounded up the most glam plus-size New Year’s Eve dresses the Internet has to offer right now, so take a gander below. Your most over-the-top NYE ensemble awaits you.
