With party season on the horizon, we're all stocking up on sparkles to really deck the halls with fabulous fashion in celebration of Christmas. And one particular party piece that's been on my wish list for weeks is H&M's viral Sequined tie-back dress. It's the sparkly number that has been doing the rounds on social media - and for Gossip Girl fans, it's been described as "giving Blair Waldorf" vibes on TikTok.
Covered in shimmering white sequins with a high neckline, the A-line design has a deep V at the back tied together with a wide grosgrain black ribbon. This glamorous dress is so high in demand that people are selling it on second-hand sites like eBay and Vinted for over £100 - £212 is the highest I've seen so far, which is almost four times what it's worth in H&M.
Thankfully, with December being a time for all things glitzy, H&M isn't the only store to have stunning sequin dresses so I've had a nose around to see if I can find some of the best alternatives to the sell-out style. Although, if your heart is set on that viral number, switch on notifications to be prompted when it's back in stock.
Here are five alternatives to H&M's much-loved sequin dress. Whether you're heading out for the office party or a family gathering, you're sure to look incredible in one of these show-stopping pieces - and they're all under £100. For even more style points, finish off your party look with a red lippy - like this Charlotte Tilbury The Queen matte stick.
