Christmas Day style is an enigma. I saw a meme recently that said: \u201cI never understood why we get so dressed up for Christmas Day and don\u2019t really go anywhere, just walking around my nan\u2019s kitchen looking fly as hell.\u201d Ha, yes. And what a fashion melting pot this day can be. The 20-something cousins who are hungover but still looking chic in their ACNE T-shirts and chinos. The parents of the young kids who are beyond exhausted but quickly made an effort with a festive necklace and a \u201cgood shirt.” The uncle and aunt everyone only sees once a year dressed in the exact same khaki get-up they had on last year. The fun dad who wears a Christmas-themed ugly sweater and reindeer beanie all day despite the 32 degree weather. And this how style salad culminating in one annual table photo featuring torn bon-bons, heads covered in paper crowns, awkward lean-ins (\u201cwe can\u2019t see you Aunty Carol!\u201d) and Grandpa with his eyes closed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder this time of year has been immortalized over and over in film and television. For those that celebrate it, this festivity is perfect, relatable entertainment fodder. So what will you wear this year? Why not take your 2022 Christmas Day style cues from the characters you\u2019ve watched do the tinsel tap dance so many times before. Here\u2019s our pick of the greatest and most chic (some surprisingly so) on record.<\/p>\n

Keira Knightley in Love Actually<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

She\u2019s copped flack over the years for the weird hat she wore to visit Mark (Andrew Lincoln) in search of her wedding video, but turns out the poor thing had a giant forehead zit on the day of filming and this was actually the stylist\u2019s solution. So back off, everyone! Anyway, aside from the conductor hat, the white, off-shoulder knit she was wearing around the house when Mark came knocking in that<\/em> scene was immortalized. Creamy short-sleeve knitwear forever!<\/p>\n

Cameron Diaz in The Holiday<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

This cult rom-com seems only to be snowballing in popularity each year. Cam is so chic in this movie, it makes a house-swap to a small English town seem like the most romantic option for anyone with a festively timed broken heart. Like Knightley in Love Actually,<\/em> she rocks her fair share of winter-white knitwear, but it\u2019s the chocolate shearling coat that makes us swoon.<\/p>\n

Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex And The City The Movie<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Okay okay, we know this is really New Year\u2019s Eve but this scene is still so crazily festive we\u2019re adding it to the list. When Miranda calls from her lonely Brooklyn apartment and Carrie gets out of bed and hot-tails to see her friend in the middle of the snowy night. In true Patricia Field (the movie’s costume director) form, her \u201cjust out of bed look\u201d was fantastically chic. That vintage fur (we vote go faux) over trackies with a cami and a sequin beanie (why not!) is all kinds of Christmas goals.<\/p>\n

Diane Keaton in The Family Stone<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Another super-favorite, if slightly darker, rom-com, all the styling here is pretty great. Parker is perfectly suited up to reflect her unwelcome, up-tight persona, while the contrasting characters of Claire Danes and Rachel McAdams (hello, also, is this the best cast ever?) are all turtlenecks and cable sweaters. But it\u2019s Keaton who\u2019s wardrobe steals the spotlight. We\u2019re never over the full skirt and crisp white volume shirt cinched by a wide belt. This is Christmas matriarch goals.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9e Zellweger in Bridget Jones’s Diary<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

The one who makes us all feel better about everything. Bridget Jones has been all of us at some stage of our lives and we endlessly salute her singleton, “carpet”-wearing self. Also the infamous look she was forced into by her mother at the “Turkey Curry Buffet” is kind of\u2026chic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anna Faris in Just Friends<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Maybe we\u2019re partial to this because Faris does losing-her-s**t-chic like very few others. Throughout this homecoming movie, Faris\u2019 character Samantha James gets all the best scenes. From her terrible\/awesome songs to setting fire to the microwave on her private plane, she\u2019s the reason this movie is a re-watcher. Channel her IDGAF style with a wild jacket, some hints of mauve and raucous hair. It will be liberating if nothing else.<\/p>\n
