Happy New Year! While you were struggling to stay awake to watch the ball drop or throwing back a drink at your local dive bar, celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez were celebrating the start of 2023 in luxe locations ranging from Aspen to Cabo — and dressed to the nines for the occasion, of course.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton and Cardi B were among the stars who took the stage in the final moments of 2022, dazzling crowds in looks that included glitzy minis and plunging gowns.
Below, see the best celeb outfits from the countdown to midnight.
Miley Cyrus
The pop star’s “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” special was predictably fashion-packed, with Cyrus trotting out a series of fantastic vintage styles from Versace, Bob Mackie, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci and more. She and co-host Dolly Parton even had a matching moment in bold leopard-print looks.
Paris Hilton
The heiress paid homage to her iconic 21st birthday dress during her performance of “Stars Are Blind” on Cyrus’ special, dazzling in an updated version of the slinky chainmail style by Laurel DeWitt.
Emily Ratajkowski
Taking a page out of Hilton’s style playbook, the model hit the beach in a cheeky, crystal-studded Clio Peppiatt chainmail dress ($1,537).
Selena Gomez and Nicola Peltz
The fast friends — who recently debuted matching “angel” tattoos — coordinated their outfits for the New Year’s countdown, sparkling in silver sequined Valentino minidresses and clear platform heels during a vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico, with Peltz’s husband, Brooklyn Beckham.
Kylie Jenner
The makeup mogul marked the start of 2023 in sexy style, rocking a sheer open-knit Alaïa catsuit ($3,180).
Kendall Jenner
The supermodel matched her sister in an all-black bodysuit look of her own.
Cardi B
The “WAP” rapper performed alongside husband Offset in Miami on New Year’s Eve, dressed in a red-hot halter gown with sparkling accents by Valdrin Sahiti.
Dua Lipa
The “One Kiss” singer went full Y2K to usher in 2023, wearing a crystal mesh Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress with a back so low, Lipa’s white thong played peekaboo.
Hailey Bieber
Like Lipa, Bieber went for the “whale tail” on NYE, opting for a Mugler LBD ($1,370) with cutouts that lent the look of an exposed G-string.
Jennifer Lopez
The “Marry Me” star sipped champagne in a plunging color-blocked Gucci gown adorned with a festive red-and-green crystal brooch.
Eva Longoria
The “Desperate Housewives” star looked anything but desperate in this sheer, sparkling halter dress with a hip-high slit.
Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade and Kaavia Union Wade
The ever-photogenic family coordinated for a shoot by the sea while vacationing in Hawaii, with the “Bring It On” actress shining in a black sequined Nervi gown, the athlete posing in a black knit set and their 4-year-old daughter looking like a star in her Petite Hailey dress.
Reese Witherspoon
“It’s all about high fashion with comfy footwear this New Year’s Eve,” the “Big Little Lies” star captioned this pic.
All eyes were on the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” co-host in this sculptural silver Rey Ortiz number.
Lili Reinhart
The “Riverdale” actress looked ravishing in a tie-front cutout Misha midi dress ($133) teamed with a Miu Miu crystal necklace ($1,150) and studded Valentino sunglasses.
