Rental Party Looks

• Cocoon offers memberships to rent designer bags starting from just £19 per week. Choose from contemporary brands like Coperni and Acne Studios or borrow luxury leather goods from the likes of Hermés, Loewe and Louis Vuitton. Love your rental too much to give it back? They also have a pre-loved resale platform. HOC Makeup Match: Translucent Setting Powder Now you’ve accessorised your festive look, complete your glam with our Translucent Setting Powder. Blur pores, reduce shine and keep your make-up in place all night – then spritz with our Vitamin Setting Mist for a burst of hydration.   

• If you love high street shopping but don’t want to contribute to the fast fashion cycle, Hirestreet is the rental site for you. Shop pieces from favourites including M&S, French Connection and Karen Millen, along with looks from online destinations like ASOS and House of CB. Choose ‘On-Demand Outfits’ as a one-off, or sign up for a monthly ‘Unlimited Wardrobe’ and receive five pieces per month with unlimited swaps.   HOC Makeup Match: Seasonal Eyeshadow Palettes Play with your new wardrobe and create coordinating or contrasting eyeshadow looks. Our Mineral Eyeshadows have shades to complement every season – choose between highlighters, soft shadows and eye-defining colours in matte, shimmering or satin finishes. 

• Borrowed From is a relative newcomer on the rental scene, but it’s home to some amazing pieces. If you’re local to London you can also book an in-person appointment at their Battersea studio to browse before you borrow. Whether it’s something fun and feathered or a sequinned Fendi Baguette, you’ll find pieces here you didn’t even know you were looking for.   HOC Makeup Match: Baked Bronzing Powder You’ve borrowed your outfit, now why not borrow a sun-kissed glow with our Baked Bronzing Powder? Our 2-in-1 powder adds warmth and dimension to your makeup look, leaving you with a natural-looking contour that will leave everyone wondering if you’ve jetted off for some winter sun.  

• There’s nothing easier than a one-and-done jumpsuit or co-ord, and My Wardrobe HQ has an amazing selection for the festive season. Sparkly lounge sets from Daily Sleeper will elevate your comfy Christmas day look, while embellished tailored jumpsuits by Nadine Merabi and Lola Tara have your work Xmas party covered, starting from just £11 per day. HOC Makeup Match: Liquid IlluminatorParty looks are all about a gorgeous glow; get yours with our multitasking Liquid Illuminator. Highlight cheek and brow bones, blend it with your foundation for a dewy finish, or use it on your shoulders, neck, chest and legs for an all-over glow. 

• Hurr have the festive season wrapped up with their ready-to-rent black tie edit. Choose from gowns from contemporary brands including The Vampire’s Wife, Cult Gaia and Taller Marmo, and get your guilt-free fix of party pieces that are too special to wear twice. HOC Makeup Match: Eye Pencil A showstopping dress needs an equally dramatic eye look to match. Lengthen and thicken your lashes with a coat of our long-wear mascara, then add some sultry smokiness by smudging our Waterproof Automatic Eye Pencil in your outer corners and along your waterline.  

• Sequins may be pretty, but they’re made from plastic and will *literally* last forever. If everyone rented their sequins this year, the equivalent of two Olympic-sized swimming pools filled with sequins would be saved from landfills. Peer-to-peer rental site, By Rotation, is our top pick for mirror ball looks, with sequinned pieces from 16Arlington, Self-Portrait, Paco Rabanne and more, you’ll find something special to twinkle in. HOC Makeup Match: Lipshine Lip GlossDon’t let the shine stop at your outfit; perfect your pout with a slick of our high-shine, hydrating lip gloss. Use it on its own or combine it with your favourite House of Colour Lipstick – there’s a range of shades to suit every season!
