It’s most girl’s dreams to feel like a total princess in a dress at least once in their lives. Prom is the perfect time to go all out on a ball gown and have your perfect princess moment. Pair with a fancy updo, a dramatic makeup look and sparkly accessories. Pink is a classic choice for an epic ball gown but red, dark blue and soft green will make for a beautiful dress. Make sure to get at least one photo of you spinning to show off the amazing skirt!

Can’t decide on one colored dress? Try a little bit of every color! Get a dress in bright, fun colors to match your cheery personality or get a dress featuring several colors in the same hue for a gorgeous monochromatic look. Stick with simple makeup and hair and let your dress shine!
Get the look:
If you’re looking to add a little sultry into your look, try a silk dress or a dress with a major Angelina Jolie slit! Depending on the look you’re going for, either of these can add some major drama to your overall look. Keep the look softer with a lighter shade of pink or blue or add some drama and go for a deep red or black dress. Either way, pair it with some attitude!
Get the look:
If you’re into the retro look, vintage prom dresses are cute and fun! Guaranteed to have layers of tulle and a nice full skirt, vintage prom dresses are a great way to give an old piece of clothing a new life and a chance for you to be unique! No chances that someone else will show up wearing the same dress as you!
Get the look:
If you aren’t into dresses, no worries! Pantsuits have gained popularity in the past few years! You have two options when it comes to wearing a suit to prom: either a traditional suit, altered to perfection OR a jumpsuit! Either way, both are appropriate and a fun way to be untraditional and uniquely you!
Get the look:
Illuminate your look with a golden dress that will make you the center of attention! No matter the style of dress, gold shimmer or gold sequins will catch the light and everyone’s attention. Pair with a glowy, golden makeup look and soft hair for the perfect goddess vibe.
Get the look:
Don’t be afraid of sheer (layered) fabrics. Sheer makes any dress look soft and romantic so it is perfect to be seen alongside your date. Pair with romantic waves or a curly updo and a soft makeup pallet for a perfect prom look.
Get the look:
If you are super girly (or just like pink) we recommend you go full-on pink for your prom look! From a sparkly pink dress to pink eyeshadow and lipstick, all pink is a perfect look for prom. Even if you don’t love the color, pink looks great on everyone so don’t be afraid to try it!
Get the look:
Want to feel like a mermaid at your prom? Try a deep, rich emerald or emerald-hued blue dress in silk or satin that moves easily for a perfect siren look. A loose flowing dress is perfect for a more casual nod to the ocean but a mermaid cut dress will add drama and wow!
Get the look:
If you’re more about cutting a rug than sweeping the floor, a short prom dress is the way to go! Form-fitting, tulle, lace, ruffled are just a few of the types of short dresses you can try to find your perfect look. With so many options, there is a short dress for you.
Get the look:
No matter if you choose short, long, mermaid, or ball gown, you can go wrong with a tulle dress for prom. Tulle is just such fun and with so many choices on the market, you can find a dress that will look darling next to your date!
Get the look:
Generally reserved for brides, we love a white dress, especially for prom! Look for dresses with fun details like sequins, ruffles or rhinestone designs. If you’re on the fence about an all-white dress, try one with a fitted bodice and loose skirt and make sure to put your napkin in your lap while you eat dinner to prevent accidents!
Get the look:
Feeling spicy? A red dress is sassy and fun and when paired with a smoky eye and fun updo, you can be one hot mama! If you don’t want to be too hot, try a darker red or burgundy for all the drama without the same level of shock!
Get the look:
Whether you’re a goth by nature or just looking to rock a great black dress, prom is the time to try it out! If you’re not an everyday goth, a black dress paired with black accessories is a great classic look. Don’t be afraid to play with your style and of course, don’t forget the black lipstick and accessories!
Get the look:
Finally, prom is about glamour and fun so go all out on both! Try dresses with dramatic skirts and embroidered and embellished touches. Add over the top shoes or accessories, the limit does not exist when it comes to fun looks. Be the queen you were meant to be! This is one of the best prom looks!
