"How many holiday parties do you all have this season? At least three, am I right? Getting ready for them may be a pain, but if you prep now and borrow style cues from Lupita Nyong&amp;#x27;o, Amy Poehler, and Zosia Mamet I promise it will be easier. Last night, each actress hit the 23rd annual Gotham Independent Film Awards in a dress I think you&amp;#x27;ll love. A girly white dress: Can you say winter wonderland? Lupita, fashion&amp;#x27;s latest It Girl, worked the red carpet in an A-line Lanvin white strapless dress (complete with pockets!) and Lanvin red silk-satin pumps. Rock this type of number for more formal occasions like a black-tie ball. A sexy black dress: Yours doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be long-sleeve like Zosia&amp;#x27;s Rebecca Minkoff dress, but I suggest a style similar if you want to really show off your legs. It&amp;#x27;s perfect for catching that special someone&amp;#x27;s eye at your friend&amp;#x27;s Christmas party without looking too eager. A work-appropriate navy dress: You&amp;#x27;ve got enough to worry about when it comes to your office holiday party, so go the fail-safe route with a navy sheath dress. Amy Poehler&amp;#x27;s Catherine Deane frock features black details that kick it up a notch while also providing a slimming effect. Is your holiday wardrobe stocked with these three dress essentials?
