Sequins are definitely back! And they're not just back on the runway, but they're back on the streets, as well.
The sequins seem to start owning up to their hidden luster as they are brightening the catwalk for three straight years.

With a futuristic avant-garde luxe look with fluid, light-reflective pieces and a streamlined aesthetic executed with draping, pleating, and bias-cuts, it gives gaudy, intergalactic, and alien-esque designs a run for their money.
As if the world doesn't have enough glitz and sparkle, these little razzle-dazzles have been a red carpet-favorite as well.
Sequins have guested in our favorite TV series...
Serena van der Woodsen's Tony Burch Sleeveless Sequined Dress
Blair Waldorf's L.A.M.B. Sequined Argyle Cardigan (in blue)
...And have also conquered the silver screen.
Carrie Bradshaw's Chloe Sequined Dress from Sex and the City - The Movie Now, the infamous Converse's Chuck Taylor launched another line Chuck Taylor® All Star® Sequins with a celebrate attitude. Known for it's old school 80's vibe, Converse relives the era all over again in a discotheque chic as if the disco ball is not enough over your head that it should be definitely on your feet.
Although I have traded wearing sneakers for sky-scraper heels two years ago, Chucks will always be the kicks of my choice.
The sequin Chucks are way fun in the most perfect mesh of glam-meets-street attitude.
