Alix Earle’s Thanksgiving day outfit was a perfect reminder that—to create a fantastic fashion moment—all you really need is a couple of go-to closet staple pieces.

The content creator and 2025 Dancing With the Stars runner-up took to Instagram Friday, Nov. 28, to give fans a peek at how she and her family spent their holiday. While the cozy vibes were immaculate, it was impossible for us not to notice the superstar’s stylish ensemble, which was on full display in the cover snapshot of the 15-photo carousel.

Styling & glam

Sitting on the edge of a comfy-looking brown couch, Earle wore a mustard-yellow mock-neck sweater dress. She styled the closet staple piece with a pair of plum-colored knee-high boots, which also featured a daringly tall platform heel. The eye-catching footwear coordinated with her handbag, a quilted mini purse from Chanel, and she accessorized further with some dainty jewelry on her ears and hands.

Earle left her long blonde tresses down for the look, parted in the middle so it fell in natural waves on her shoulders. For her glam, she opted for a more natural makeup moment with matte skin, rosy cheeks and a glossy pink lip.

Overall, it was a perfect go-to outfit for anyone looking to put together a standout style moment for the upcoming holidays without having to worry about matching too many pieces—just a vibrant sweater dress, a killer pair of boots and some jewelry of choice is all that’s needed to make a memorable, photo-ready ensemble.

Fans react

But don’t just take our fashion-loving word for it, as several of Earle’s followers, family members and famous friends were quick to hop in the comment section to wish the superstar a happy holiday season, and to praise her incredible sense of style:

“Ok I have the biggest girl crush on you,” DWTS pro Emma Slater wrote.

“ur perfect i love you,” Earle’s sister Ashtin Earle declared.

“I’ll never be over man eater. EVER,” Bridget Bahl added, referring to Earle’s DWTS finale freestyle performance. “please make it a tt dance for us.”

“Queen,” fellow DWTS Season 34 contestant Whitney Leavitt concluded.

An epic finale to 2025

As mentioned above, Earle’s 2025 has been wrapping up on an exciting note thanks to her fantastic run on Season 34 of DWTS. The content creator and her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, scored marvelously all season long, regularly finding themselves at the top of the leaderboard.

For their final performances, Earle and Chmerkovskiy were also the only dancing duo to earn perfect 10s across the panel for all three of their dances, resulting in a total score of 90/90. While Earle and Chmerkovskiy ultimately placed in the runner-up position with Robert Irwin and his pro partner Witney Carson taking first place, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough stated that the gap between Earle and Irwin was “one of the tightest [they] had ever seen in a finale.”

As we move into 2026, fans can’t wait to see what Earle does next. Whatever it is, we know one thing for sure: she’ll be doing it in a fashion-forward look that’ll have everyone obsessing.
