While part of us is looking forward to welcoming 2024, complete with a big bash (or, maybe, just a little gathering with friends), another, slightly larger part is concerned about what to wear for New Year’s Eve. After all, the holiday usually requires us to dress up, and we don’t plan on slacking when it comes to this year’s festivities. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of time to order cute New Year’s Eve dresses on Amazon, especially for those of us who have Prime. Today, our closet may be lacking, but by tomorrow, it’ll contain a bit more sparkle.
Of course, you don’t have to wear a sequined New Year’s Eve dress. You’ll look equally great in a luxe velvet design, a silky something, or a sleek LBD. To get you inspired, we’re rounding up the 13 best New Year’s Eve dresses you can buy from Amazon, ahead, most of which cost under $50 (another major plus).

This shirt dress has all the elements you could want for the occasion — glitz, glam, a whole lot of sequins — but is more relaxed. You could easily trade your heels for chunky boots or loafers when putting together your outfit, this way your feet won’t be aching by the time the ball drops.

BTFBM Women's Sleeveless Cocktail Dress

If you’re attending something slightly fancier than a party at your friend’s place, you might feel the urge to go with a more elevated alternative. While this high-neck design is a tad on the simple side, it leaves plenty of room to spice things up with sparkly jewelry, bedazzled footwear, and maybe even a fuzzy jacket, similar to what Hailey Bieber recently wore.

EYNMIN Women's Sparkly Sequin Backless Tie Mini Dress

It’s all in the details with this sparkly number . While the front of the dress is somewhat simple and modest, the fact that it’s backless makes it feel special. Plus, we’re big fans of bell sleeves, which will add some playfulness to your New Year’s Eve outfit.

xxxiticat Women's Sleeveless Spaghetti Strap Satin Dress

A sleek slip dress works for almost any occasion, and if you buy one now, you’ll be grateful for the many times it’ll come in handy in the future (especially during the warmer months).
