Celebrities wearing sparkly sequin dresses are nothing new. In fact, they’re pretty much a red carpet staple. However, lately we’ve been seeing sequin dresses in a new light. These days they’re flirtier and edgier, and a far cry from the floor-length Hollywood glamour that we’re normally used to. Take a look at these celebrities wearing sparkly sequin dresses and let us know who you think shone the brightest.
1 Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus starts off our list of celebrities wearing sparkly sequin dresses in this mermaid-inspired Marc Jacobs number. Despite the dress consisting of floor-length sea green sequins, it has a bit of a nineties minimalist vibe thanks to its column design and skinny halter neck straps. As with any sequin dress, jewellery and accessories are best kept to a minimum and here you can spot only some subtle stud earrings and a coat of bright red nail polish for contrast.

2 Georgia May Jagger
Here, Georgia May Jagger makes a statement in a red sequin dress. The fitted, knee-length design is fun and flirty without being too over-the-top. Strappy silver shoes anchor the outfit and she also keeps the red theme going with red lipstick and nail polish.
3 Jessica Szohr
A neutral coloured sheath dress might sound ‘blah’ but how about when it’s covered in shimmering sequins? Jessica Szohr looks far from ‘blah’ in this neutral sequin dress with mesh detailing. She completes her outfit with a metallic clutch and pointed nude heels.
4 Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks is known for her wacky and alternative style, and here she wears a statement-making sequin dress. The dress is made from iridescent paillettes (large sequins) and features a furry pom pom hem. Always one to keep us on our toes, she opts for chunky heeled jelly sandals instead of your typical heels.
5 Rachel Bilson
Sequin dresses can look even more statement-making when they feature a patterned design, as Rachel Bilson shows us in this 3.1 Phillip Lim number. The dress features blue and white sequins arranged in an abstract pattern. She accessorises with silver platform heels and completes the look with smoky eye makeup and dark nail polish.
6 Selena Gomez
Instead of a dress made entirely from sequined fabric, Selena Gomez’s lace Dolce & Gabbana dress features scattered sequin details. She teams the racy red mini dress with pointed black pumps, assorted rings, and ruby red lipstick.
7 Taylor Swift
Here, Taylor Swift rocks a sequined floral mini dress by Zuhair Murad. It’s a fun twist on your typical little black dress and the sequins definitely give it that X-factor. Taylor teams her sequin floral LBD with ankle strap heels and peachy pink lipstick.
8 Beyonce
If anyone knows how to rock a statement-making outfit, it’s Beyonce. Here she wears a leopard print sequined shift dress. She teams the long-sleeved shift dress with metallic booties. A side swept hairdo and dark lipstick complete the look.
9 Lily Collins
Here, Lily Collins toughens up an elegant sequin dress. She teams a structured cap-sleeved dress with thigh high suede boots. A sparkly ear cuff and dark lipstick finish off this bold look.
