The Ball of Dreams

Drawing from the lavish masquerades beloved by brand founder Christian Dior himself, the French house of Dior conjures a dreamlike reverie for the festive season with its Holiday Look 2024 collection. Curated by Peter Philips, the creative and image director for Dior Makeup, it is an homage to the boldness and charm of yesteryear’s grandest celebrations.

For the third year running, Dior tapped Italian artist Pietro Ruffo to design for its holiday makeup collection. And as befitting both the season and the inspiration behind the 2024 collection, Ruffo has dreamt up royal‑looking motifs, rendered in regal gold against a white background on all the packaging and select cases, and even embossed on the product itself.

Speaking of colours, matching the luxuriousness of the dazzling gold that dresses all the products is the rich palette of the limited‑edition collection itself. Think deep ruby reds, sumptuous burgundies, glittery pinks, iridescent metallics and more that make for a range of opulent looks fit for the belle of the ball.
