Christmastime is nearly here, and while many of us have had our decor set up since last month, it's never too late to put some finishing touches on a tree.
We are taking pointers from Wicked star Michelle Yeoh, who recently shared a photo of her own Christmas tree on her Instagram page. The actor has gone for a traditional look, with a green tree, yellow lights, and red and gold ornaments as her base. The twinkling lights perfectly complement the metallic ornaments, while the lush green branches give the space a natural, cozy feel.
We love how Yeoh has placed a candle next to the tree, which further enhances the sensory experience of Christmas, as well as providing another form of light. Candles in scents such as pine, clove, or vanilla are all excellent options as a Christmas tree accessory.
Shop Michelle Yeoh's Christmas Tree Look
A best-seller on Amazon (and deserving of glowing reviews), it's hard to go wrong with these lights this Christmas. If you are shopping for a larger tree, the strands are connectable, so you can have a harmonious glowing light throughout your branches.
This pre-lit tree offers an instant Saldana look with ease. It has 2,000 branch tips with realistic green PVC and PE pine needles for a lush, cashmere feel that feels completely natural (and it's the pefect base for red ornaments like Yeoh's).
A candy cane ornaments will never go out of style. There is something oh so nostalgic about seeing them on the tree – just be sure not to eat these ones.
Festive classics
Red, white, green, and gold have been associated with Christmas for centuries – so why start anywhere other than the timeless basics? Yeoh agrees – in case we need another excuse to invest.
For the ultimate Christmas treasure that's special enough to pass through the generations, we can find nothing better than this Swarovski ornament. Though it's a small investment, it will impress each time it returns to your tree – promising luxury every single year.
This candle looks gorgeous in a living space, while providing a subtle scent of golden cypress, green petitgrain, and elemi resin. Its soothing scent helps contribute to a generally calm and organized room.
'Here on the celebrity style team, we've seen new design trends emerge this December, most significantly 'nearly-naked' trees with nothing but lights and pastel-pink twists on classic green. However, Michelle Yeoh's decorations remind us that some styles are timeless,' comments Megan Slack, the Head of Celebrity News at H&G.
'While I love observing these trends, there's something sublime and eternally classic about Yeoh's arrangement. The color palette paired with the scented candles creates a quietly luxurious winter wonderland that will look just as good in her home next year. So, if you're thinking of investing in some Hollywood-inspired ornaments, you can rest easy knowing they'll be just as beautiful when you get them out of the box in 2025.'
