Let’s suppose for the sake of this discussion that we had cool New Year’s Eve plans. As long as we’re pretending, let’s suppose we also had a fairy godmother. Here are the red-carpet looks we’d want to steal for NYE.
If you didn’t consume copious amounts of pumpkin pie and red wine over the holidays, you might be able to pull off this little number Selena Gomez is modeling. It’s red, it has just the right amount of bling and it’s festive without being gaudy.

Christina Aguilera rocks the perfect NYE look for those of us who live in colder climates. The top is the perfect balance of sheer and sparkly. Black jeans should help us hide a little of the holiday bulge.

Patricia Rae
Dear Fairy Godmother, we will please take this flattering flowing creation worn by Patricia Rae. See how it scrunches and gathers in all the right places, and has a show-stopping necklace to draw attention away from our hips?

Angelina Jolie
While this photo speaks volumes of the health struggles Angelina Jolie endured in 2013, we wish this dress were hanging in our closet for NYE. It is classy and stylish and the almost-off-the-shoulder design sexes up what would otherwise be a drab dress.

The future Mrs. Theroux, Jennifer Aniston, combines a sizzling party dress with a form-fitting jacket. Those of us who live in the real world would button the jacket to hide all forms of evil.

Jennifer Lopez
Jenny-no-longer-from-the-block wore this sensation to the 2013 Met Gala. The print provides ample camouflage and offers head-to-toe coverage. We’d throw this on for a NYE party, but we doubt we could pull off Lopez’s unusual coif.

We are dedicating this entire row to Taylor Swift and her red carpet slam dunks. This party-perfect dress is more for the 20-something crowd. To make this work, we’d need it to be about four sizes bigger and about eight inches longer.

Is it any wonder Swift has dated some of Hollywood’s hottest men? She’s flawless. This outfit is tight where it should be and offers a little extra room where we need it. Our fairy godmother’s wand would be getting a real workout by now.

Green is underused on the red carpet and an excellent “stand out at the party” color. With green, you can make a statement with a simple dress and let your fabulous shoes do the talking (just like Cinderella did).

Kate Walsh
Here Kate Walsh’s red-carpet wonder brings us our three favorite NYE outfit elements — shiny top, black pants and a jacket. Everyone looks good in this type of party-wear. This says, “I’m ready to party, but not ready for a bathing suit yet.”

We want Sandra Bullock‘s red-carpet look right now for our as-yet non-existent NYE plans. We’d also like her legs, her hair and her Gravity co-star George Clooney.

Scarlett Johansson
Every girl’s closet needs a basic black dress, but just like Scarlett Johansson, this dress is anything but basic. Fitted on top, off the shoulder and flowing from the hips, this gown would be a NYE masterpiece, especially if we paired it with a gorgeous necklace as ScarJo has done — or say — Johansson’s face. That fairy godmother has her work cut out for her.
