Famous Ukrainian TV presenter Kateryna Osadcha shared a festive look that can already be considered one of the most successful examples of New Year fashion for the 2025–2026 season. Her outfit combines timeless classics with current trends and is perfect both for a high-profile event and for New Year’s Eve.
RBC-Ukraine fashion editor Kateryna Sobkova shares more details about Kateryna's look.
The look Osadcha chose
Bright dress as the main focus
The centerpiece of the outfit is a vibrant pink dress fully adorned with ruffles. The shimmering texture of the fabric immediately draws attention and sets a festive mood.
The off-shoulder design adds femininity and lightness to the look while highlighting the TV presenter’s elegant figure.

A sleek silhouette that highlights color and shine
The dress has a minimalist silhouette without unnecessary details, allowing the focus to remain on its vibrant color and shimmering texture. This approach reflects the current trend of letting a single piece serve as the key statement of the entire look.
Accessories with a nod to Hollywood glamour
Particular attention goes to the long gloves, chosen by Kateryna as the main accessory. This element is a direct reference to old Hollywood aesthetics and adds an aristocratic touch to the outfit.
In the 2025–2026 season, long gloves have become one of the micro-trends in festive fashion, bringing classic touches into a modern context.
Importantly, the accessories do not overwhelm the look: the dress remains the main focal point, while the gloves simply enhance its character.

Balanced beauty look
The beauty component of the look is kept understated. Hair is styled in soft waves, adding a romantic touch and softening the bold shimmer of the ruffles.
Makeup is done in a gentle palette, complementing the dress rather than competing with it. This kind of balance is a key rule when creating festive looks with sparkling fabrics.

Why this look is perfect for New Year 2026
According to the Eastern calendar, 2026 will be the Year of the Red Fire Horse. Kateryna Osadcha’s outfit fits the symbolism of the upcoming year in several ways.
First, the color palette. While red is traditionally considered the main color, all “fiery” shades such as pink, coral, and raspberry are also considered favorable. They evoke energy, movement, and a festive mood.
Second, the sparkle. The element of Fire is symbolically linked to shine, making dresses with ruffles, metallic finishes, and crystals one of the best choices for New Year’s Eve 2026.
Third, the dynamic energy of the look. The Horse symbolizes activity, passion, and confidence. Osadcha’s bright and reflective outfit radiates this kind of energy in a lively, festive, and optimistic way.
Styling tip
When choosing a similar look for the celebration, stylists recommend minimizing heavy accessories. A ruffled dress is already a self-sufficient statement piece, so one or two sleek additions are enough to make the outfit look polished and elegant.
