When the holidays roll around, we instinctually reach for glittery holiday dresses, sequined skirts and glitzy jewelry. But this month, celebs are making a convincing case for wearing less-obvious fabrics, like jacquard and brocade, in preparation for the holiday party circuit.

These bold, woven textures pack all the shimmer we're accustomed to, but in more voluminous, fashion-forward silhouettes and abstract patterns that are guaranteed to turn heads at every outing.

Jennifer Lawrence looked every bit a princess at "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" premiere in Los Angeles thanks to a shimmery Christian Dior Couture gown.

Anne Hathaway sparkled at the "Interstellar" premiere in Shanghai in a shimmery brocade Chanel Fall 2014 couture gown that reminded us of the Milky Way.

Taylor Swift stepped out in a Calvin Klein Collection jacquard long-sleeved crop top and matching pencil skirt for her appearance on "Good Morning America."

Jessica Chastain looked sweet and sophisticated at the 2014 AFI Fest in a jacquard Roksanda dress.
