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.

'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.'
