Taylor Swift attended KIIS FM's 2012 Jingle Ball in LA looking fabulous as ever in this striped fit and flare dress by Kate Spade New York ($478). The singer accessorized her ladylike look via black Christian Louboutin pumps, red lipstick, and a gold ring. If you're looking for the perfect holiday party dress, consider getting Taylor's. Then for even more pizazz, top it with a rhinestone bib necklace — shop them on ShopStyle — a statement clutch, and black tights if it gets chilly outside.

Taylor Swift chose an appropriately red, white, and black Kate Spade dress ($398) while promoting her new album, Red, in Paris. The singer is no stranger to colorblocking — she recently wore a black and white Kate Spade New York dress in Paris. We're so inspired by this chic triple color combo that we set off to find equally fabulous red, white, and black dresses to re-create Taylor's look. Choose something long-sleeved, sleeveless, flowy, or structured. Then pair your pick with your favorite footwear to complete your look.

Taylor Swift popped up in Paris looking appropriately Parisian chic in a black and white look — score her exact Kate Spade New York colorblock dress ($398) here. The singer then completed her European style with black tights, black suede pumps, a cute paper plane necklace, and stud earrings. What we love most about Taylor's new dress is that it looks like she layered a strapless black dress over a white tee. We can't get enough of the girlie flowy skirt either. Dress it up with tights and pumps like the singer did or dress it down with ballet flats.

Lauren Conrad has been on a nationwide book tour promoting her latest book, Lauren Conrad Beauty, and for her LA stop last night, she chose a Johanna Johnson black leather dress. With a statement dress like that one, all you need are a Kate Spade New York bow belt ($78) and these killer Christian Louboutin spike platform pumps ($1,595). We love that Lauren's little black dress is rough in fabric but ladylike in silhouette. Get in on the look via this similar Shoshanna black leather dress ($770) or this less-expensive Free People vegan leather dress ($198). Don't forget the bow belt for extra charm and the studded pumps for mega edge.

Modern Family actress Ariel Winter attended an Elle party in West Hollywood last night looking simply adorable in her Kate Spade New York Kimberly dress ($548). We especially love the crystal-embellished Peter Pan collar and the retro cut. Black satin Brian Atwood pumps blended beautifully with her sweet attire, and red nails added further pizzazz. Score Ariel's exact dress to wear at your next fancy soiree or get this similar Alice + Olivia collar shirtdress ($297) for a more office-appropriate version.
