Numerous public figures marked the transition into the New Year by sharing images of their celebrations on social media, offering insight into their respective festivities. As 2025 came to an end and 2026 commenced, several celebrities appeared in carefully curated attire for the occasion, with Amanda Holden attracting particular attention through her choice of a Victoria Beckham gown.
The blue plunging dress, valued at £1,290, prominently accentuated her neckline as she posed for a family photograph alongside her husband, Chris Hughes, and their daughters, Lexi, aged 19, and Hollie, aged 13. Holden, aged 54, celebrated the New Year in the company of her family and close friend Alan Carr, with the group welcoming the occasion by sharing champagne.
Other notable personalities also commemorated the event. Elizabeth Hurley, aged 60, appeared alongside her partner, Billy, aged 64, and her son Damian, aged 23, during a dinner celebration, which she documented on Instagram with the caption, “What a happy Christmas.” Hurley wore an off-the-shoulder black dress, while her companion and son opted for more casual attire.
Dame Joan Collins, aged 92, and her husband, Percy Gibson, aged 60, similarly embraced the celebratory mood, wearing coordinated disco-inspired outfits. Collins shared photographs of the occasion, describing the evening as “Holiday night fever.” The couple, who have been married for two decades, previously marked their 20th wedding anniversary with a high-profile celebration at Claridge’s.
In a separate display, Stacey Solomon decorated her residence, known as Pickle Cottage, with balloons and disco-themed ornaments to mark the New Year, celebrating alongside her sister, Gemma, while wearing a sequined outfit.
