Celeb-inspired party-at-home outfits for Christmas.

This year, Christmas is going to be very different.

With most of us in self-quarantine, Christmas 2020 will be about house parties with close-knit family.

However, a low-profile celebration shouldn't come in your way of dressing up.

Here's presenting some celeb-inspired ways to embrace the holiday spirit.

Remember the challenge is about striking the perfect balance between comfort and style.
