Forget the elaborate promposals and stretch limo rentals — everyone knows that prom is really about picking out the dress. Whether you spring for something a little grungier (your author personally wanted to wear a leather jacket over a leather gown), or wear a sweeping, romantic ballgown straight out of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music video, we’re pretty confident that everyone wants to be at their fashion-forward best on prom night. After all, when’s the next time you’re going to get all dolled up and go full-glam? Your wedding?

Camren Formal Sequin Strappy Mermaid Dress

This dress is truly a serve, with iridescent sequins that are sure to pop in every awkward stairway photo or lit up on the dance floor. This standout floor-length mermaid gown has bungee spaghetti straps that shape the strappy back design, and can be paired with a metallic silver heel or long, dangling earrings to boost that wow factor.

Anthropologie L’IDÉE Chateau Pleated Satin Halter Midi Dress

You don’t need an out-of-this world print or a wild color combo to stand out, just a sleek metallic aesthetic or a unique texture like this Pleated Satin Halter Midi Dress. The cut-in sleeveless style is defined by a halter neckline, and the allover pleating will create super fluid movement that’ll really come alive when you’re dancing or twirling.

Collective the Label Exclusive One Shoulder Metallic Mini Dress

Your prom’s disco ball won’t compare to the metallic shine on this one shoulder mini dress. The asymmetrical shoulder cut is giving us big “Olivia Rodrigo in an Eighties teen drama film” vibes. These would pair nicely with some platforms heels, or even Dr. Martens for a grungy-sweet look.

Fanciest V Neck Long Sleeve Prom Dresses

When prom dress shopping, remember that bling is everything. Even if you don’t want a dress entirely made of sequins (we get it), this v-neck long sleeve dress is the answer, giving you silky and sparkly all at the same time. The long sleeves are perfect for chillier prom nights, but the satin skirt is light and oh-so-smooth (bonus! it also comes with pockets).

Miss Circle Ivona Red Halter Neck Double Duchess Satin Gown

If you want to feel like you just stepped out onto the red carpet (even if you’re just stepping out of your mom’s minivan), this Golden Age Hollywood-esque satin gown will help you feel the part. The halter neck combined with the subtle ruching at the hip and a draping neckline will say “I’m ready for my close-up”. The boned corset and lace-up ribbon closure are also great if you want something a little more waist-snatching.

Mac Duggal V-Neckline Flutter Sleeve Ball Gown With Slit

Now we’re talking! This dress is a bonafide showstopper, and you’ll be sure to turn heads thanks to that silky, ballgown silhouette and unforgettable taffeta florals on the sleeves. Bold doesn’t always have to be brash, and the charming elegance mixed with a touch of fun is the type of personality we love for this dress.

Satin Cut Out Maxi Dress

With the right accessories, this summertime spaghetti strap maxi can transform Cinderella-style into a belle at the prom dress. We like that you can pair this with some gold hoops and a chain necklace for something a little more elevated, but bring on the strappy sandals and a beachy wave for a night out in the warmer months.
