When hosting her nearest and dearest for the holidays, Italian model and influencer Natalia Bonifacci has a simple recipe for success: good music, a solid grazing station, and a look that makes her feel like a million bucks. So cue up Michael Bublé’s Christmas album. Set out a cheese plate, a vesper board, a butter board—dealer’s choice. And do as Bonifacci does by slipping on a few sparkly outfit-finishers to make it all feel extra special.

It’s funny—I’m not really sparkly in my day-to-day life. I’m actually quite classic. But when it comes to parties, I love pieces that are a little bit over-the-top: special enough that you notice them but [they] don’t take away from you.

I’m very detail-oriented during the preparation, but then I’m not a stressed host. Once it happens, I’m really relaxed and just having good time. And I think that translates to the people in your home, because if you’re having good time, then they’re probably having good time.

On the table, I like to mix and match vintage dishes and ceramics—some that I got at the market, some at the design store. And I like candles. Lots of candles.

I like to think my style is timeless. I usually dress in ways where you don’t really know if it’s the ’70s or ’80s or ’90s. And I have a balance where I can go very masculine or feminine. I usually play between those two.

I like people with style. You experiment, but you always look like yourself. You never look like a mask. And you can evolve, you can go through phases, but it’s always very clear that you are you.
