Kelly Clarkson's Puff-Sleeve Dress Is a Holiday Party Staple I Can't Wait to Copy, and You Can, Too — from $30

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. 

It’s no secret that Kelly Clarkson’s outfits on The Kelly Clarkson Show have become a favorite of mine, from leather skirts to stylish dresses. And her latest dress has me updating my holiday shopping list to ask for one thing: puff sleeves.

In an episode with Rita Wilson, Clarkson wore a fall-friendly dress with so many eye-catching details that it was hard to pick just one to highlight. Her dress was designed with colorful florals, a row of front buttons, a mock neckline, a waist belt, and puff sleeves. You can never have too many details — am I right?

Clarkson isn’t the only fan of statement sleeves: Martha Stewart, Reese Witherspoon, and Joanna Gaines have all been spotted wearing various styles with them. Puff sleeves are an elegant, no-brainer way to dress up your outfit, which is why you’ll want to stock up on them ahead of all of your holiday parties. I rounded up similar puff-sleeve dresses from Amazon below — they start at just $30.

Dokotoo Lantern Dress, $38 with coupon

You actually can wear short dresses in the fall — I would totally style this one with tights and a warm coat to make it autumn-friendly. The beige color reminds me of the one Clarkson was wearing, minus the florals and belt. It has a square-neck top and plenty of ruffles, along with  puff sleeves that make it so elegant.

Anrabess Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress

For those looking for a little more coverage, consider this dress that has a midi hem and a mock neckline that will provide extra warmth. The pleats and sheer fabric dress it up, so you can wear it to a holiday party this season. I like how the tie-waist belt is adjustable for a custom feel.

Merokeety Ruched Dress, $47 with coupon

Clarkson has been a fan of ruching lately, and you can combine two trends with this ruched dress that also has puff sleeves. The long sleeves are made from a mesh fabric that’s breathable and fashionable. It’s available in 13 seasonal hues like wine red, green, and black.

Puff-sleeve dresses are definitely going to be on my holiday shopping list this year. Keep scrolling to find more styles that remind me of Kelly Clarkson’s latest look.
