Holiday Calendar 2025 - Fashion Review

Holiday Calendar 2025 - Fashion Review

This year’s Holiday Calendar has come to an end and to do something a little different, I decided to bring you a kind of lookbook featuring the items we received this year, showcasing some styling ideas for the fashion and jewelry pieces.

From December 1st to December 25th, we received daily items, a mix of jewelry, accessories, clothing and decor pieces. Some were available for starcoins, but most were, as usual, sold for stardollars. During these 25 days, we could see Christmas themed pieces alongside festive and fashionable items. 



I’d say some of the most liked were the 1st - Snowflake Collar and the 6th - Studded Red Leather Boots, which avrilllavigner perfectly combined into a festive look. In contrast, we have mulevar also styling the collar as a detail under the shirt, along with the controversial 11th - Plaid Mini Skirt. Some loved the item, while others disliked the way it was illustrated, but here she definitely delivered a great styling of the skirt, combining a street-style but still keeping it festive with the bag.


Another item that wasn’t very well received among players was 2nd - Chanel Sweater Dress. I saw many people complaining about it being a single piece instead of a separate skirt and sweater, like in real life. Personally, I’m not a big fan of it either, as it feels a bit hard to style. That said, Hyn created a very fashionable look by using it as a skirt, pairing it with the puffy blouse and vintage styled hair, which gave the item a completely different aura.

Maria_julia25, on the other hand, decided to let it shine on its own and added a fun touch with the 10th - Reindeer Holiday Headband. It’s great to see people styling some starcoins pieces and really making the most of what they have to offer.

MissNyx decided to go for a casual street style using the 9th - Diamond Quilted Jacket, which is an interesting piece but, I must say, very hard to style (I can say that properly, as I tried it myself). Still, it’s quite versatile, in it's way, and allows for different styling approaches if you get creative.
After seeing these amazing takes on the holiday calendar items, of course I had to give some of them a try as well.I decided to start with items that weren’t very praised (even by me), like the already mentioned 9th - Diamond Quilted Jacket, which allowed me to go for a preppy style.

I don’t know why, but while styling it, I thought it would make a good duo with another item I mentioned here that felt kind of boring (and honestly, it really is): the 20th - Sleigh Sweater. After managing to style it properly, I actually started liking it a bit more.

To keep the duo outfits matching, next I chose what I think are my favorite items from the calendar: the set composed of the 16th - Grey Fur Mini Dress, 17th - Fur Hat, and 17th - Fur Gloves.

Of course, I didn’t want to style them all together, as that would just be putting a complete look back on. Instead, I decided to keep them separate, just like they were released in the calendar and created two outfits inspired by the “Artic Allure” theme, which, in case you haven’t heard yet, is the theme for submitting suggestions for the January 2026 Outfit of the Month.

Continuing my journey through the Calendar, I couldn’t leave out the most "difficult" pieces to style, since they are kind of “complete” on their own, both dresses: the 25th - Green Plaid Dress and the 22nd - Vintage Tree Dress.

For the first one, I simply added a few accessories and voilà, we have a look perfect for a gala. As for the second, I fully embraced the camp vibe, added some extra Christmas themed accessories and themed shoes and it was ready for a crazy Christmas look competition.

To end this journey, and not turn it into a longer list of looks (more than it already is), I decided to pair some pieces that made sense in my head.

Starting off, I used two items that I really liked: the 4th - Pink Leather Trench and the 8th Charm Plaid Bag. It turned into a cute outfit, perfect for going for a walk on a not-so-cold day.

Next, I paired the 21st - Emerald Lace Boots with the 11th - Plaid Mini Skirt (which was already shown here, but in my defense, I needed something to style the boots with). I came up with a look I like to call “from night party to a daytime family trip on Christmas Day”, all thanks to the messy suitcase, that gave the vibe that there was no time to pack after partying all night long.

And lastly, I matched the 23rd - Burgundy Dior Bag with the 13th - Maroon Velvet Peacoat. This one was truly a pain point for me, as I had no idea how to style such a piece, but it ended up working as a more formal autumn/winter daytime look.

From the start of the month, I had the idea of buying all the Holiday Calendar items to create this type of post for the blog. However, throughout the days I had very mixed feelings about the items and I almost dropped the idea. But it was already too far along, I had bought most of them, so I decided to keep going.

In the end, I feel like it was really worth it, as I was able to see the potential of the items, even if most of them don’t match my personal style.

I also hope you enjoyed this post and feel free to share your thoughts on the pieces, the looks and even your own creations using the Calendar items here.

Holiday Calendar - Day 25

Holiday Calendar - Day 25

Christmas Day has passed and with it we received the last special item from the Holiday Calendar. Like last year, Stardoll saved a gown for the final day, the Green Plaid Dress.



The dress costs 20sd (22sd regular price). It’s a beautiful and well illustrated piece, although I’m not sure it was exactly what we were expecting to wrap up the calendar. Still, I got it, just like all the other calendar items.

The dress is inspired by a piece from Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection.

Holiday Calendar - Day 24

We’re one day away from finishing the Holiday Calendar, and today we received a decor piece, the last item that was missing from the ones shown in this year’s calendar banner.

The item is the Dried Orange Garland, and it’s available for starcoins: 126sc at the promotional price and 140sc at the full price.

Holiday Calendar - Day 23

Today’s Holiday Calendar item is the Burgundy Dior Bag (I’m glad they fixed the name, because earlier this morning, when I first saw it, it was listed as the Burgundy Chanel Bag, someone must have been very sleepy when naming it).



The bag costs 14sd with the Royalty discount (16sd regular price) and will be available until tomorrow, unless you’re Royalty, in that case, it will remain available for you to purchase at any time until the calendar is over.

As the name already suggests, the bag is inspired by Dior, specifically from their SS26 RTW collection by Jonathan Anderson.

Holiday Calendar - Day 22

Holiday Calendar - Day 22

Instead of the usual crazy Christmas sweater dress day, this year we got a crazy dress day. Today’s calendar item is definitely not a typical dress, on the contrary, the Vintage Tree Dress looks quite odd in my opinion and feels like a questionable choice for the calendar, especially considering its price of 17sd (15sd with the 10% Royalty discount).



The dress is inspired by the one worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie Grease 2. What are your thoughts on it?



Also, today all the calendar doors have reopened and are now unlocked and available for purchase for Royalty dolls, but there’s no information on how long they’ll remain available. Since items from last year’s calendar are still in the Plaza, it’s hard to say whether this year’s items will eventually be removed or stay there forever as well.

This Sunday, we got another fashion item in the Holiday Calendar: the Emerald Lace Boots. Once again, it’s an item that I didn’t like much when I saw it up close, but I still bought it and I hope I’ll manage to style it at some point. The boots are priced at 14sd originally, or 13sd with the Royalty discount.

Holiday Calendar - Day 20

The “Advent” Calendar is almost coming to an end and for day 20 we got a not so exciting item: the Sleigh Sweater.



In the catalogue, as usual, you’ll find the female version, but when buying it through the calendar you also get the male version for free. Both versions are also available for individual purchase in the catalogue. The price for each one is 160sc (or 144sc if you’re Royalty).



Below is a picture of the reference used for the sweater:

We’re on a streak of clothing items in the Calendar for the third day in a row. Today, we got the Charm Plaid Bag, priced at 16sd (14sd with the royalty discount applied). 


I personally liked this bag a lot, in some aspects, it resembles the Vivienne Westwood aesthetic, which I love. However, I believe it might be a custom made piece, as I couldn’t find it referenced to any specific brand. You can see its real life version in the picture below.

Holiday Calendar - Day 17

Wishes really do come true at Christmas! Yesterday we got the dress and I mentioned how nice it would be to have the matching gloves. Today, I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only the gloves, but also the matching hat, are the items for today’s calendar card.



Both items (the gloves and the hat) appear in the calendar image, but the item is listed only as Fur Hat, even though both pieces were released. When purchased via the calendar, the set costs 12sd with the Royalty discount (13sd regular price), and you also receive the Beauty Parlor versions of the hat and the Fur Gloves for free. Both items are also available for individual purchase in the catalogue.



Once again, here’s the real life version of the set, now completed with yesterday’s dress.

Holiday Calendar - Day 16

Today’s calendar item is the Grey Fur Mini Dress, which I think is a little overpriced at 20sd (18sd with the royalty discount). So far, it’s the most expensive item in this year’s calendar, even items that came with free extras didn’t have such a high price. That aside, it’s still a cute dress.



The piece is inspired by the Lina Fur Dress from Nana Jacqueline. I absolutely love the fur hat and the matching gloves from the original look and wish they had included them as well, even if it meant having to buy them as separate items.

Today, we got the Red Bow Christmas Tree in the Holiday Calendar, which was also teased in the banner on the calendar page alongside the chair from day 12. The tree costs 19sd (17sd as shown in the image with the Royalty discount).



The inspiration was taken from TikTok, as we can see from the @ tagged in the picture, that is also available on Pinterest.

Holiday Calendar - Day 14

For the 14th day of the Calendar, we got a festive jewelry piece: the Red Bow Earrings. The item costs 12sd with the 10% Royalty discount, or 13sd at the full price.

The earrings are available in both suite and beauty parlor versions through Starplaza. If you purchase them directly from the Holiday Calendar, the bp version comes for free.



This piece doesn’t seem to be inspired by any specific branded jewelry. Instead, it resembles the kind of cute, seasonal bow earrings you can easily find across various marketplaces like Etsy, eBay or even Amazon



What do you think about this day 14 item? Will you be adding these earrings to your holiday styling?

Holiday Calendar - Day 13

For day 13 of the Holiday Calendar, we received a new fashion piece: the Maroon Velvet Peacoat. The item is priced at 15sd with the Royalty discount (or 17sd at the regular price).



The peacoat is available in both female and male versions in Starplaza. If you purchase it directly through the Holiday Calendar, the male version comes for free, which is always a nice bonus.

The design is inspired by Canali’s Fall 2013 Menswear collection. 



What do you think about this 13th item?

For Day 12, we have the first decor item from the ones that were teased in the Holiday Calendar banner: the Cozy Arm Chair. It costs 15 sd (or 14 sd with the royalty discount). The chair already comes with the pillows and blanket attached, which is nice because we’re paying for a complete item, but the downside is that we can’t use the pillows and blanket separately or place them on other chairs or sofas.



The chair really does look cozy, just as its name suggests, and it’s very pretty. I’ve already bought it and can’t wait to create another christmas room decor to use it in.

Holiday Calendar - Day 11

Holiday Calendar - Day 11

This Thursday brings a new clothing piece to the Holiday Calendar: the Plaid Mini Skirt. Its price is listed as 14sd with the royalty discount and 16sd at the regular price. When I saw it, I really wished the belt were a separate piece, but it’s attached to the skirt.



The item seems to be slightly inspired by a skirt from the brand Rave Review (or Rave RVW, as it’s shown on their website). We can see a few differences, starting with the belt which is entirely black on Stardoll instead of having white stripes and the front tag, which is also missing in the Stardoll version.

Holiday Calendar - Day 10

Holiday Calendar - Day 10

The Reindeer Holiday Headband is the item for the 10th day of the holiday calendar. It’s listed as a fashion item, even though it’s a hair accessory and would fit better in the “beauty” category, especially since there’s also a beauty parlor version. Both versions are available in the catalogue for 120sc each (108sc with the royalty discount), but if you get it from the calendar, you’ll receive the BP version for free.



The inspiration likely came from Pinterest, from a post linked to an Etsy store that sells hair accessories and has a whole category of reindeer headbands. However, this specific one wasn’t listed when I checked, so the only source is the Pinterest image.

Today’s calendar item is the Diamond Quilted Jacket. The item is available for 17sd, or 15sd if you have the Royalty discount active, and it’s available in Starplaza in both female and male versions. If you buy it through the Holiday Calendar, you’ll receive the male version for free.



The item is inspired by the 3.PARADIS Fall/Winter 2024 collection.

Holiday Calendar - Day 8

For Day 8, we got another decor item. I have to say I was expecting it to be a clothing piece or maybe some jewelry, since we’ve only gotten one necklace so far.

The item is the Christmas Star Light. It originally costs 11sd, or 10sd with the Royalty discount. I have to admit I think it’s a little expensive for such a “simple” piece, but I still bought it.

Holiday Calendar - Day 7

This Sunday, the 7th, the calendar item was a new decor piece: the Poinsettia Candles. This is the first starcoin item we’ve gotten so far in this year’s calendar, hopefully we’ll see more sc pieces soon! It costs 99sc with the Royalty discount, and the regular price is 110sc.



The inspiration seems to come from Pinterest, which leads to a German webpage with a post titled “Poinsettia flower decorations: 12 wonderful ideas with poinsettia”. The site is still up, but I didn’t open it because it requires accepting cookies and I can’t read German to know what I’d be agreeing to lol. Still, I was really curious to see more decor ideas using poinsettias.
