There must be something in the air this month. What exactly it is, we don’t know, but our favorite celebrities have upped their fashion game considerably. As soon as the calendar flipped to November 1, it was out with the Marge Simpson costumes, and in with the couture (see: Demi Lovato in a stunning off-the-shoulder Hellessy gown from the brand’s fall/winter 2022 collection at this year’s UNICEF Gala in NYC, styled by Dianne Garcia, and Dua Lipa in Luar spring 2023 at Mark Ronson and Justin Theroux’s holiday party at Pebble Bar in NYC). The days are shorter, nights are colder, and the bar for celeb style is even higher. Here, we rounded up the very best A-list looks of the month. Take a look—and shop some too!—below.

The two arrived at Pebble Bar straight from Footwear News’ 36th annual FN Achievement Awards, where they were named the Collection of the Year. Also, shout-out to Mark Ronson for helming the DJ booth at his own party.

Where: The opening of Loewe Rodeo Drive at the Chateau Marmont in L.A.
