When it comes to planning holiday party looks, it’s easy to get caught up in cocktail dresses and fancy shoes.

With that in mind, we scoured the internet for the most beautiful party bags of 2022, and the results did not disappoint. Ahead, discover the 20 styles shoppers are buying like crazy right now, from a gold Cult Gaia beauty worth splurging on to a sparkly designer lookalike you can get on Amazon for less than $50. Whether your plans include a formal soirée or a corporate happy hour, the list ahead has a pretty party bag for all your upcoming holiday events. Scroll to shop them all.
