15 Dazzling Studio 54-Inspired Outfits to Get Your Disco Groove On

Hello there, my fabulous fashion fiends! If you’re anything like me, you can’t help but be captivated by the glamour, glitz, and unbridled hedonism of the legendary Studio 54 nightclub scene. The fashion! The dancing! The debauchery! It was a dizzying disco wonderland.

I often find myself daydreaming about what I would have worn if I could time travel back to those wild nights at 254 West 54th Street. The Studio 54 era was all about over-the-top opulence, flashy embellishments, and slinky silhouettes that were made for dancing ’til dawn under the twinkling disco ball.

That’s why today I’m serving up 15 tantalizing outfit ideas that pay homage to the iconic Studio 54 aesthetic. These disco-ready ensembles are dripping in sequins, lamé, and all the glittery trimmings befitting a night at the world’s most famous celebrity playground. So let’s boogie! 

1. Sequined Halter Jumpsuit & Sky-High Platforms

A head-to-toe sequined jumpsuit is the ultimate Studio 54 power outfit. This plunging halter neck number in shimmering gold will make you feel like the disco queen you are! I’ll slip on some towering metallic platform sandals to really  strut my stuff on the dance floor. Add a pair of oversized gold hoop earrings to amp up the megawatt glamour.

2. Metallic Wrap Dress & Lucite Heels

Dance and twirl the night away in a liquid gold wrap dress that clings to your curves in all the right places. The deep V neckline and thigh-high slit add sultry appeal. I’ll pair this gilded frock with some clear Lucite block heel mules for a modern take on the quintessential ’70s shoe trend. A swipe of glittery eyeshadow and I’m ready for my disco moment!

3. Sequin Crop Top & Wide Leg Lamé Pants

Embrace the unabashed maximalism of the Studio 54 dress code in a purple sequin spaghetti strap crop top and matching high waisted lamé flares. This look is giving major disco Cher vibes, and I am here for it. I’ll accessorize with some oversized tinted aviator glasses and a pair of chunky silver platform sandals. A spritz of Chanel No. 5 completes the glamazon fantasy.

4. Slinky Cowl Neck Maxi Dress & Statement Earrings

A fluid satin maxi dress with a plunging cowl neckline oozes effortless ’70s sex appeal. The rich emerald green hue is unexpected and regal. I’ll style this dress with sky high gold platforms and some seriously statement-making chandelier earrings dripping in crystals. Finish the look with a metallic gold leather clutch and a sleek middle-parted blowout.

5. Fringed Suede Minidress & Knee-High Boots 

Unleash your inner bohemian disco diva in a tawny suede minidress adorned with swingy fringe along the hem and sleeves. The lace-up neckline and raw hem add to the carefree ’70s feel. I’ll balance the micro hemline with some luxe caramel suede knee-high platform boots. Accessorize with a stack of hammered gold bangles and a floppy felt hat.

6. Sequined Tube Top & High-Waisted Hot Pants

If you really want to turn heads at the disco, slip on a barely-there strapless sequin tube top and some matching high-rise hot pants. This look is not for the faint of fashion heart! I’ll choose a mesmerizing mermaid green sequin for a aquatic fantasy effect. Sky high silver platforms and a glittery disco ball purse are the only accessories this daring look needs.

7. One-Shoulder Metallic Jumpsuit & Lucite Hoops

A sleek one-shoulder jumpsuit in a shiny copper lamé is a chic alternative to the disco dress. The asymmetric neckline and wide leg silhouette create an elegantly elongated effect. I’ll keep the styling minimal with just a pair of oversized clear Lucite hoop earrings and some strappy metallic heels. A swirl of bronzer on the cheekbones is the perfect beauty complement.

8. Rainbow Sequin Butterfly Top & Flared Jeans

Bring some color to the dance floor in a rainbow sequin butterfly crop top that shimmers with every movement. The winged sleeves add fluttery drama. I’ll pair this kaleidoscopic top with some dark wash high waisted flared jeans and chunky metallic platform sandals. Prismatic earrings and a bold red lip are the cherries on top of this trippy look.

9. Faux Fur Vest & Metallic Flares

A plush faux fur vest in a creamy ivory hue is the ultimate ’70s rock star topper. Layer it over a shimmery gold halter bodysuit and some super slinky copper lamé flares for a look that screams “I’m with the band”. I’ll accessorize with an armful of glittery bangles and a pair of oversized tinted aviator shades. Finish with sky high glittered platform boots.

10. Sequin Kimono & Satin Mini Dress 

Make a grand disco entrance by topping a curve-skimming black satin mini dress with a duster-length sequin kimono in an explosion of neon hues. The Art Deco-inspired geometric sequin motif adds opulent flair. I’ll choose strappy iridescent heels to play off the kimono colors and a pair of dangling crystal star earrings. Studio 54, here I come!  

11. Metallic Halter Catsuit & Pointed Ankle Boots

A liquid silver halter catsuit is the ultimate disco dancing uniform. The skintight silhouette and plunging neckline radiate fierce ’70s femme fatale energy. I’ll punch it up with some shiny pointed-toe sock booties in a rich grape hue for an unexpected color contrast. A delicate silver body chain and oversized silver hoops are the glamorous finishing touches.

12. Crystal Fringe Bodycon Dress & Glitter Platforms

Be a human disco ball in a sheer mesh bodycon dress absolutely smothered in tiers of shimmering crystal fringe. The micro mini length and long sleeves strike the perfect balance. I’ll layer it over a nude bejeweled thong bodysuit for a bit more coverage. Glittery silver platform sandals and a high-shine chrome manicure are musts for this look.

13. Sequin Blazer Dress & Fishnet Stockings

Put a sexy spin on menswear dressing in an oversized double breasted blazer dress completely covered in matte black sequins. Worn solo, the plunging neckline and thigh-skimming hem are giving major ’70s seductress vibes. I’ll layer some oversized fishnet stockings underneath and slip on some patent leather platform loafers. A red lip and a sleek high ponytail seal the deal.

14. Metallic Cut-Out Maxi Dress & Oversized Sunglasses

A slinky rose gold lamé maxi dress with a scandalous array of skin-baring cut-outs would definitely turn heads on the Studio 54 dance floor. The halter neck and open back show off the décolletage while a hip-high slit lets you move freely to the beat. I’ll add some strappy metallic leather stilettos and huge tinted square sunglasses for extra diva attitude.

15. Glitter Bomb Tee & Wide Leg Sequin Trousers

Who says disco has to mean a dress? A slouchy oversized T-shirt absolutely doused in chunky multicolor glitter puts a playful spin on after-dark dressing. I’ll half-tuck it into some shimmery rose gold sequined wide leg trousers for a casual-luxe contrast. Add some sparkly platform sneakers and a disco ball clutch and I’m ready for my retro night out!

And there you have it, my dancing queens – 15 decadently disco Studio 54-inspired outfit ideas sure to make you the belle of the glitter ball. With these sparkling ensembles, you can shimmy and shake like Bianca Jagger riding in on a white horse even if you’re just dancing in your living room!

The key to nailing the Studio 54 aesthetic is more is MORE! Don’t be afraid to pile on the sequins, lamé, lurex, and all things shimmery. Sky-high platforms are a must for elongating the legs (and keeping your hem off the beer-soaked dance floor). And statement jewelry is the perfect finishing touch to these already mega-watt looks.
