You know it’s holiday party season when all the velvet cocktail dresses start appearing in stores. Only this year, instead of just the classic red, green, and black, I’m also seeing a lot of Blue velvet.

I just picked up this gorgeous blue velvet sheath for a holiday get-together. (Another similar here) Isn’t the color stunning? Blue is warmer than black, but it looks just as chic. I’d call this color regal!

This beautiful dress is made from a stretchy velvet material that hugs your curves and gives you a fabulous shape. A little Spanx helps too! ( lol!)

Unfortunately, this lovely dress sold out quickly, but you get the idea. Blue velvet is rich, luxurious, and looks very festive this time of year. Here are a few other blue velvet dresses with a similar shape.

A little gold sparkle goes well with this gorgeous blue velvet. I bought this adorable Burgess Court Glitter Leather Kate Spade clutch to go with the dress.

Champagne-colored heels keep all the attention on the dress.

If you are looking for a pair of sparkly earrings to go with a blue velvet dress, these dainty Danielle Open Frame Crystal Statement earrings are from Kendra Scott. They’re my new favorite.

Consider a blue velvet party dress this holiday season. It’s a little bit different and real head-turning color.

Unfortunately, this dress has sold out, but I have linked this blue velvet dress,  which is similar!
