How to Have a Stylish New Year’s Eve at Home, Inspired by Batsheva Hay, Christian Siriano, and More
Is there a more exciting prospect than kissing this year goodbye? 2020 will forever be known as the year COVID-19 hit, and everyone in the world is ready to bid it adieu. Of course, the pandemic is still very much here, meaning that a big, splashy, blowout bash to end the year is very much out of the question. But fear not! Your at-home festivities need not be a bore. Feeling determined to have a good time this New Year’s Eve and plan something fun, safe, and wildly festive, Vogue reached out to five fashion insiders to find out what their plans are for ringing it in.
Designer Batsheva Hay, stylist Jason Bolden, and more of the fashion flock shared their advice for celebrating New Year’s Eve in style this year. Their itineraries are worth perusing, whether they plan to cozy up to the fire with some marshmallows and hot toddies, or feast on some pasta and a good book. To be sure, these suggestions are all about ushering in 2021 with some self-love and much-needed R&R.
Below, here’s how five fashion insiders are waving off 2020 in style and comfort.
Batsheva Hay, designer
“We will be at what we call our ‘quarantine lake house’ (the house we lived in from March to June while NYC was locked down) upstate. There is a nice big fireplace out there. My kids like dancing around a big, open house. We like to hike in the local nature preserves. If there is any ice skating open nearby, I’m sure my kids would love that too. I’ve also been wearing velvet as much as possible since the weather got colder, so I will definitely be in one of my velvet smock dresses with rhinestone buttons, which feels like the right mix of comfortable and festive. We will also roast marshmallows for the kids, and my husband and I will have hot toddies. Lots of crackers and nice cheese usually makes me feel celebratory too.”

“I will be with a few close friends and family on an island relaxing this New Year’s Eve! I plan on wearing a custom Prada pajama look that I’ve been dying to wear since the last Met Gala. I also plan on eating all the pasta I can get my hands on, and drinking loads of water. Leading up to New Year’s Eve, I’ll get some running in too, and reading more fashion memoirs. I’m leaving the night-of planning to my husband.”
