Emma Bunton's crimson mini-dress is perfect for Christmas day, New Year's Eve and beyond
With festive celebrations right around the corner, we're on the hunt for the perfect dress—and Emma Bunton's might just be the one.


With Christmas day just around the corner, it's time to start considering what to wear, and whilst sparkles and sequins are a serious consideration, sometimes nothing beats a vibrant pop of colour. That's why Emma Bunton's crimson red long sleeve mini dress is the perfect piece for the occasion.
Her dress feels like staple that every wardrobe deserves, it's colourful and playful and has a very flattering long-sleeve silhouette. And whilst there is lots to consider when thinking about what to wear on Christmas day, a bold coloured dress in a well-designed cut and shape can make a statement just as much as sequins. And there are plenty of similar dresses to shop from our favourite high-street brands.
