What's Hot in Prom Dresses?

If you're looking for a prom dress that's totally hot, you'll want to consider the styles that are the most popular this season. Whether you're the queen wanting to impress your court, or you're just dressing to please your guy, you'll want to check out some of the trendy, new styles that are available.

Sizzling Hot in Bright, Bold Colors

In the past, white dresses, or light pastel ones were what everyone wanted to wear. Not any more. It's time for you to stand out in the crowd wearing bright, bold shades of orange, pink, and yellow instead of their pale pastel counterparts. Bright colors can be really flattering as they bring out features you want to accentuate and add exciting color to your face. If you don't feel quite bold enough to appear in a totally-bright gown, you can spice up a more understated dress by adding a colorful sash, a trendy pareo, or another bright accent piece.

Baubles, Bangles, and Beads

Dresses studded with sequins, rhinestones, jewels, and beads have heated up the climate of this prom season. Any simple, plain dress can be brought to the glamour zone by adding some of these flashy accents. In addition, a jeweled tiara is the perfect accessory for these glitzy gowns. Covered in jewels from head to toe, you'll feel like the princess you've always dreamed of being.

Celebrity Status

You know the kind of dresses celebrities wear when they're going out on the town. They're the gowns you see your favorite actresses wearing on tabloid TV. These styles are extra hot, and they are now in favor for high school proms all over the country. Try watching the award shows on TV and making notes about gowns you particularly like. Then you can start looking for prom dresses in similar styles to create your own very diva-esque look.

Here Comes the Prom Dress


The latest thing in prom dresses is being taken from the wedding gowns you've always seen and admired. Trains have made a real comeback this year in any length from a short duster to a full-length chapel style. There's nothing that can make you feel more like prom queen than having one of your attendants carry your train as in the courts of old. Your date is bound to treat you like royalty when he sees you clad in your regal attire.

Ballerina Skirts are Big News

We're not talking tutus here. This style is patterned after the full, short gowns worn by prima ballerinas. Ballerina styles are great for accentuating a small waist and well-toned upper body as they have very snug bodices. In addition, you'll feel flirtatious and full of fun in the knee-length, poufy skirt. Some dresses come with tulle overlays that add fanciful style to the look of the gown.

Feathers and Lace

You'll love the funky look of prom dresses with feathers and lace on the skirts and bustline. Gone are the sequins of yesteryear as you pop into the 21st century wearing a style that's as unique as you are. A gown with an asymmetrical, ruffled hemline and feather decorations will put you way above those dressed in more traditional gowns on the hot scale.

Peace, Brother

Would you believe that tie-dye is back in a big way, and you will be able to find prom dresses with splashy, tie-dyed patterns gracing the racks at local stores? If you loved the look of tie-dyed t-shirts when you were a kid, you'll adore this newest look in prom gowns. Pair your tie-dyed beauty with a pair of strappy metallic gold or silver sandals, and start to sizzle.

Try Out Mr. In-Between

Possibly you look at prom gowns and are torn between a short, flirty skirt and an elegant, floor-length ball gown. By choosing a dress with an asymmetrical hem, you can have the best of both worlds. With a dress that's short in front to show off your sexy, shapely legs and long in back so that it sweeps the floor gracefully when you dance, you're sure to attract a lot of attention. After all, it isn't everyday that you see a dress that's both so unique and so flattering.

You're sure to love some or all of the new prom dress styles that are being featured this year. There's bound to be something out there that will complement your taste and make you feel comfortable and original. Make sure and pick a dress that makes you feel gorgeous and relaxed, and no one at your prom will be able to top you in style.
