Floor-Length Frocks: Katy Perry and Selena Gomez Shimmer at the UNICEF Snowflake Ball

Selena Gomez and Katy Perry in dark-hued, elegant gowns

After the American Music Awards last week, we drew a conclusion that shimmery ensembles always make it to best-dressed lists—especially these days.

Yes, maybe it’s because of the holidays. We’re seeing many celebrities donning shimmering dresses, sparkly but definitely not eyesores. In fact, most of the frocks being paraded are eye candies.

At the UNICEF Snowflake Ball, we picked two celebrities who outshone everyone else literally with their shimmery, floor-length frocks: pop-culture princesses Selena Gomez and Katy Perry.

Okay, what were they wearing?

Selena Gomez

Selena wore a sparkly black halter Dolce and Gabbana gown with shimmering details on the front down through the hem. The gown also had a soft train, which made it more elegant. Selena completed her look with a matching black clutch bag. For her jewelry, she opted for ruby earrings.

Katy Perry

Drama in blue. Katy also wore a halter gown. Hers was a midnight blue beaded creation by Naeem Khan which featured a dramatic cape and beaded belt. Katy accentuated her shimmery ensemble with a pair of blue sapphire and diamond earrings and a cuff that perfectly matched her gown to the point of gush on our part. She completed her look with a blue satin clutch bag.

The shimmer definitely caught our eye, but it was the train and the cape that provided the drama for Selena and Katy’s dress, respectively.

The holiday season is just beginning. We look forward to more shimmery winners like these as the happy days roll in.
