Happy New Year! While you were struggling to stay awake to watch the ball drop or throwing back a drink at your local dive bar, celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez were celebrating the start of 2023 in luxe locations ranging from Aspen to Cabo — and dressed to the nines for the occasion, of course.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton and Cardi B were among the stars who took the stage in the final moments of 2022, dazzling crowds in looks that included glitzy minis and plunging gowns.
Below, see the best celeb outfits from the countdown to midnight.
