The Hot List: 20 Must-Have Pieces, According to Instagram’s Favorite Fashion Sourcer

Welcome to the Hot List, a monthly column from fashion sourcer extraordinaire Gab Waller. As a professional personal shopper to some of the best-dressed girls—she gets about 100 requests a day to track down hard-to-find wares!—Waller spends her days sourcing the most in-demand fashion and accessories. Each month, and exclusively for Vogue, she’ll deliver a cheat sheet of all the pieces she recommends you scoop up before it’s too late and the most dreaded three words in online shopping appear: “out of stock.” You can shop her personal favorites on FOUND By Gab. “This is a world in which I live and breathe,” Waller says. “I get to be a fashion detective day in and day out, and I have eyes and ears all over the globe.” Let the fashion snooping begin!

November, already!? I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering how we’re possibly already in November. This year has flown by! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m starting to feel the holiday energy and can’t wait for all the festivities over the next two months to close out 2026. As parties fill up calendars, so do my DMs with requests for what to wear to each. I wanted to focus this month’s column on just that. Think velvet, sequins, extra fun colors, embellishments of all kinds, and more. Let the celebrations—and the holiday dressing—begin!

We all collectively need a go-to LBD for the holidays, and this newest style from Khaite ticks all the right boxes. I LOVE that they described it as having a doll-like silhouette. I’ll take it!

Coming in at number one are the party slipper heels from The Row that dominated my DMs. One request came through, followed by a few more, I then posted them on our stories, and as it goes, an instant hit! Now is the time to jump on these.

A snakeskin leather coat!? Say no more! One size is available now, run (or I might need to snap it up for myself!).

Including the most elegantly chic gown that will have you immediately sorted for the holidays. We may very well be matching if you choose to secure this. I love this silhouette, truly chef’s kiss!

Carolina Herrera has made its way into the Hot List, and for very good reason! If there is one must-have piece for this fall holiday season ahead, let it be a velvet jacket. The styling options are endless.

An INSTANT hit from Tory Burch. Produced last season in green, which has been highly coveted since its release, your favorite embellished bag is back this season in a new blue and black. This is one of my bestselling handbag styles this week.

The Christian Louboutin heels that speak for themselves. Already showing low stock across all sizes, I’m calling it now: these will be your go-to for any and all upcoming evening events.

If pony hair is your preferred option, look no further than this (selling fast) style from Toteme. It won’t be around for long.

Speaking of both Australian brands and pants, this new leather style from Christopher Esber has been an instant hit! Already sold out in multiple sizes, run to grab your pair now.

Ending with the return of the Idaho. No stranger to the Hot List, it has been restocked, but I can’t guarantee for how long. If you have been waiting for the perfect moment to secure this style, now is the time. It is a best seller for a reason, and for what it’s worth, the beige is my favorite!

Another Miu Miu new season style that I am predicting will sell out. The sweetest holiday dress. A couple of sizes are left, but certainly not for long.

This is not the first time that I have included Real Fine Studio in my list, but I have kept a close eye on their collections and demand, and it only continues to grow. I couldn’t resist including them in this column for the holidays. Their all new golden hour letters (available in all letters of your choosing), are the perfect holiday gift.

A cute AND fun moment for the holidays. I didn’t know I needed a dotted satin slingback pump until now. Thank you Valentino for creating this very cute style! Warning: only a couple of sizes are left now.

The quickest add to cart moment I’ve had this week! This oozes every ounce of festiveness, I love that it evokes the glamour of the roaring twenties. I anticipate a sold out style.

I feel genuinely so excited that a saddle bag has made its way into my Hot List for the very first time! Certainly no stranger to this design, but this is the first time (in years!) that requests have come through for this style. I’m thrilled by this, and hope to see this only increase in time. The black has been the most popular, but it was also produced in red.

It’s about to be a very strong season for Khaite! Piece after piece, they always get it right for the holidays. This velvet skirt is an immediate yes.

Would it really be the holidays without a Miu Miu fleece moment? My first request came through for this style this week, and I expect more to come.

It is no surprise that SIR is a fan-favorite Australian brand that consistently pops up in my DMs. With all eyes on Australian fashion post the (iconic!) Chanel runway show there this month, I couldn’t look past these satin wide leg pants from the label. This color couldn’t be more fun.

Dries Van Noten has been a strong rising brand for me this year, particularly in the bags category. There was one patchwork style that popped off over the past month, but I wanted to link an option that you could shop right away. Dries Van Noten + velvet + a resin handle and a detachable shoulder strap = the ultimate option for your holiday parties!

It has also been some time since an Hermes shoe style has made its way into the Hot List, so this too has me very excited to see such great momentum for an all new style. Guaranteed to be your go-to for those cooler days when you’re opting for comfort and coziness, the best part of all is that they were produced in 7 (yes, 7!!) colors. A highly requested and proving popular style at present.
