Style Deep Dive: Martha May Whovier

Hi everyone and welcome back to Haute take!! 

Happy day 2 of the 12 Days of Blogmas! One of my favorite things to do on here is a style deep dive, especially when it involves an iconic character whose outfits are impossible to forget. So for day two of Blogmas, I knew I wanted to focus on someone festive, dramatic, and totally unforgettable. And who better than the one and only Martha May Whovier from The Grinch? She is the definition of over-the-top holiday glamour. From her sparkling dresses to fur-trimmed everything, Martha May’s style is bold, confident, and honestly iconic. 

Let’s break down her aesthetic, why it works, and how to channel her energy in a way that still feels chic and wearable. 

The Martha May Whovier Aesthetic 

Iconic. What I would do for this robe.

Martha May’s style is all about holiday glamour with zero subtlety, in the best way possible. She fully leans into sparkle, bold silhouettes, and statement details, and every outfit feels intentional. Her looks are dramatic but still polished, striking that perfect balance between festive and fashion-forward. Think glitter, faux fur, and classic Christmas colors like red, white, green and silver. 

Key Style Elements to Steal 

Sparkle: Martha May treats glitter like it’s a neutral. To make this wearable, try one statement piece, like a sparkly skirt or top, and keep the rest of your look simple. 

Faux fur accents: A faux fur coat or trim instantly elevates an outfit and gives it that cozy luxury feel. It’s one of the easiest ways to channel her style without going full Whoville. 

Classic holiday colors: Red is basically Martha May’s signature. A red dress, a bold lip, or even just a pop of red in your accessories instantly makes a look feel festive and intentional.  

Confidence: This is the most important part. Martha May owns every outfit she wears, and that confidence is what really makes the look work.

How to Wear It IRL 

For a holiday party, we have some options. First, you could try a red dress with statement earrings and a faux fur jacket. Second, to be a little extra, fur trimmed tops or dresses instantly give elegant and festive. For something more casual, a sparkly top with jeans and heels gives the same vibe without feeling like a costume. Even a bold red lip with an otherwise neutral outfit feels very Martha May. 

Martha May Whovier is proof that holiday style doesn’t have to be subtle to be chic. Her looks are festive, fun, and unapologetically extra, and that’s the energy we should all be bringing to the holidays. Whether you go full glam or just add a little sparkle, the key is to lean in and have fun with it.  

Thank you so much for reading!! Stay tuned for day 3 of Blogmas!!! 🎄
