It’s official: Kate Middleton ’s recent appearance in a green velvet dress at the Royal Variety Performance in London cemented the look as a standout trend of the season.

The gown’s rich emerald tone and plush velvet finish feel tailor-made for Christmas cards and holiday parties. And just because Kate is royalty doesn’t mean the look has to be unapproachable: Amazon’s fashion department offers plenty of budget-friendly (but still glamorous!) versions of the same vibe. In fact, the below velvet holiday party dresses channel her sophisticated energy with ease — and there’s a silhouette for every occasion.
