If you’re reading the stars (celebrity stars, that is), December has been the month of black ensembles. From skin-baring minis to cool motocross jackets, many of your favorite A-listers are forgoing the typical holiday attire and getting back to black instead. No ugly Christmas sweaters here! Still, we’re delighted to see the likes of Priyanka Chopra and Alicia Keys giving us a welcome dose of color as we close out 2022. Dare we say it, this month’s list might have some of our favorites of the entire year. Here, we rounded up the very best looks of the December. Take a look—and shop some too!—ahead.
