TikTok Style Star Alli Quinones' Guide to Holiday Dressing
By Justin Moran
Dec 23, 2024Alli Quinones is a real life Gossip Girl. There’s a chance you’ve seen the 19-year-old New York native cross your TikTok FYP, where she documents getting ready for classes at FIT and narrates everything with her signature squeaky voice. Upon first scroll, it might all seem like a character, but Quinones’ commitment to the hyper-preppy, cartoonishly Upper East Side OOTDs suggests otherwise.
She proudly self-describes as an “overdressed icon,” telling PAPER, “You can simply never be too overdressed for any occasion.” Whether styling herself for the first or last day of fashion school, where Quinones currently studies Fashion Business Management, she consistently dresses all the way up and on theme.
As Quinones says, “You can’t always control having the best grades, but you can have the best outfit.” This means plenty of pink, a healthy dose of sparkle and, more often than not, a tweed set in honor of her favorite designer Coco Chanel. Bombshell sunnies, her little pooch Princess and a Blair Waldorf-inspired headband typically complete the look.
Ahead of holiday celebrations this week, we asked Quinones to put together a guide to dressing from her own at-home closet. If you, too, describe your style as “chic and glamorous with a hint of whimsy,” this one’s for you. In the classic parting words of Quinones herself, “Okay, BAIII,” with a flirty wave and heel flick.
"You will shine at any Hollywood holiday party with this gold gown radiating elegance."
"This Christmas Eve, Mrs. Claus will be serving looks because who says only Santa gets to slay?"
"We'll be walking in a winter window shopping wonderland in this adorable set."
"Comfy and cute never looked so good while being ho ho home for the holidays."
"You can be seen strutting into 2025 in sparkles."
