14 Best Party Shoes for All Your Holiday Season Events

Carrie Bradshaw always used to say, "There are two things you can't get enough of: good friends and good shoes," and we've made a lifestyle of it. Shoes, the object of women's desire, are the final touch that can radically transform any outfit: from banal to party-goer, from boring to exciting, from dull to electrifying.

For the upcoming holidays, don't miss out on the chance to find a sparkling new pair of sandals under the tree—like the Julia Glass sandals from the Amina Muaddi x Swarovski collaboration, the  Cube Strass Mules by Roger Vivier, or Gray Matters' Egg Mules. If you want something more delicate, try the Versace La Medusa pumps (in gold, to stay on the party theme) or a pair of Miu Miu's iconic reinterpreted Mary Janes because the footwear protagonist of 2021 (and certainly of 2022) cannot be missing from the list.

Valentino offers a minimal version that becomes a passepartout for any occasion—with variants in orange and pink for the more daring. For those who fear the cold but would never abandon their party side, Prada offers its Fall/Winter 2021 boots in a glittery version, while Paris Texas reinterprets the stiletto with small red crystals. And to get noticed on the dance floor? Try styles from Zimmerman, Malone Souliers, or Mach & Mach.
