20 Night Party Outfits for Women With Sparkle, Pretty Dresses and More

Looking for night party outfits for women that go beyond your usual black dress? Think shiny silver pants, a burgundy halter dress or jeans with a pretty corset top.

There’s plenty to choose from here, whether you want a little sparkle or a whole outfit covered in it.

You can keep things simple or go all out. Start with a piece you love, then decide on the extras.

I especially love the little bags and statement earrings in these looks!

Party outfit ideas worth saving

black sparkle and a silver bag

We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous strapless black mini. I love the tiny sparkles and the long panel hanging down one side.

That silver-colored bag is such a pretty extra touch.

Pair yours with a short sparkling necklace and hoops to follow this look.

champagne top and black pants

Don’t want to wear a dress? No problem!

This sparkling champagne-colored top looks so cute with slim black pants and gold-colored ankle-strap heels.

If you’re looking for night party wear outfits for women with pieces you can mix and match, save this combination. The matching clutch is worth keeping too.

deep brown slip dress

I am in love with this deep reddish-brown dress. The thin straps and V neckline keep the top simple, with a silver-tone cross necklace sitting above it.

Try a silver-tone watch instead of a stack of bracelets if you want to keep your accessories just as understated.

silver from top to toe

If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. There’s silver everywhere, from the draped top to the straight-leg pants and shiny ankle boots.

I love the matching bag with all its buckles and little straps. Pick just the pants if you want to try a smaller dose of this look.

corset top and loose jeans

How cute is this jeans outfit? The black floral corset-style top is my favorite part.

An oversized black blazer sits over it, with pointed black shoes peeking out beneath the loose blue jeans.

Leave your blazer open so you can see the pretty detail on the top.

burgundy halter and gold accents

This burgundy dress may just be one of my favorites here. I love the draped halter neckline and the gathering through the waist.

The collage pairs it with a matching shoulder bag and strappy heels. Add gold-tone earrings and a watch if you want to follow the whole combination.

fluffy trim and a round bag

How adorable is that little round bag? It looks like a tiny disco ball beside the black dress!

The sheer sleeves and fluffy trim at the cuffs and hem give this mini plenty of detail already. Keep the black ankle-strap heels if you’re recreating the look.

sparkling top and black pants

If you’re looking for a way to dress up black pants, try a sheer sparkling top like this one. The little diamond-shaped pattern covers the long sleeves too, with a black underlayer visible beneath.

I’d add simple black heels for a party and leave the neckline without a necklace.

black blazer dress

Don’t want to add sparkle or bright colors? This black blazer dress is for you.

The deep neckline, long sleeves and short hem look lovely with pointed black pumps.

A small black bag is all you need to follow this simple combination.

gold draped mini

I am obsessed with this gold-colored mini. The low draped neckline and thin chain-like straps are so pretty together.

There’s already plenty of shine across the dress. I’d skip a necklace and stick with earrings like the ones shown here.

brown layers and a sparkling bag

Who says your top has to be the sparkly part? This oversized brown sweater sits over glossy brown wide-leg pants, with a dark sparkling bag at the side.

I love the big gold-tone earrings with this combination. Save this one if you prefer looser shapes for a casual evening party.

all-out pink sparkle

The pink fans are going to love this! A sparkling fuchsia mini, shiny pink heels and a matching chain-strap bag make up this outfit collage.

The pink drop earrings are gorgeous too. Choose either those or the pink necklace if you want a simpler version of the accessories.

white top and glossy mini

This is a cute way to keep your outfit to just two colors. The white cropped long-sleeve top sits above a glossy black mini skirt, with black high-heeled ankle boots below.

Try a small black shoulder bag if you want to add somewhere to carry your essentials.

camel coat and black corset

Here’s another pretty corset outfit, but this one swaps the jeans for black wide-leg pants. I love the long camel-colored coat draped over the shoulders.

The black platform shoes and small bronze-colored clutch finish the look. Keep the top visible by wearing your coat open.

brown one-shoulder mini

This brown mini is so pretty without any all-over sparkle. The one-shoulder neckline has a little gold-colored detail, plus there’s a cutout at the waist.

The pale open-toe heels with dark edging are a lovely choice here. Add a gold-tone bangle if you want to repeat the detail at the shoulder.

navy jumpsuit and gold belt

If you’re looking for something other than a dress or separate top and pants, go with a navy jumpsuit like this one. I love the crossover neckline and wide legs.

The shiny gold-colored belt is the detail I’d keep. You could add gold-tone earrings to match.

sparkling edges on black

I know the all-over sparkling dresses are gorgeous, but this little black mini is another favorite. Mostly because the bright trim follows the angled neckline and the tiny slit at the hem.

Black ankle-strap heels and a small black bag keep the rest simple. There’s no need to add much more.

shaggy coat and black mini

Go big on outerwear with this tan-and-brown shaggy coat. It sits over a short black dress and sheer black tights, with a black shoulder bag at the side.

I love the different shades running through the coat. Try this combination when you want your outer layer to be part of the outfit too.

silver mosaic mini

Okay, this dress is gorgeous. The little reflective silver-colored shapes cover the whole mini like a mosaic, right up to the high neckline.

Try pulling your hair back like this to show the neckline. I’d leave off a necklace and let those shiny shapes have their moment.

puff sleeves and a back bow

Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty black puff-sleeve dress. I am obsessed with the big bow across the open back!

The full skirt makes it a little different from the fitted minis above.

The white bag and pale flower in the updo are such sweet finishing touches. Keep both if you love a black-and-white look.
