Glamorous yet wearable, this is exactly what we want from our winter party wardrobe
The John Lewis Christmas advert signals the start of the festive season and, for its 20th year, Dame Kristin Scott-Thomas stars in a heartwarming story about rediscovering the joy of gifting. Not only has it got us in the Christmas spirit, but the fabulous outfits have caught our attention, too.
Capturing the Christmas Eve arrival of family and grandchildren, Kristen dazzles in a smart-casual outfit perfect for festive gatherings. Combining a cream cashmere Jigsaw knit with eye-catching gold wide-leg trousers by Ralph Lauren, could this outfit be any more glamorous for the season ahead?
Later seen on a gifting mission, Kristen adds a navy wool Aligne coat, a paisley neck scarf, and a burgundy Mulberry Eliza Tote bag for a luxurious yet practical finishing touch.

We also spotted that the daughter in the Christmas advert is wearing a dress from the recent Rixo X John Lewis collaboration. The Lucy pure silk maxi dress features a vibrant floral print set on a black background, making it work from winter celebrations well into spring and summer.
Kristin Scott Thomas said, “I simply couldn’t resist the opportunity to lead a John Lewis Christmas advert - it's such a cherished part of the festive season. Plus, Gloria’s journey captured my heart straight away. She represents so many parents and grandparents who want nothing more than to create lasting memories with the younger generation. Working alongside Pickles to create the ‘Gran Cave’ was an absolute joy, and I hope the ad brings a big smile to families across the UK this Christmas.”
