With
2013's bright, eye-catching formalwear trends, you'll want to step up your
sartorial game for prom night. This year's best dresses and accessories --
inspired by recent red carpet looks sported by young celebs like Chloe Moretz,
Lea Michele and Taylor Swift -- are bolder than ever.
Gold
Metallic
Oscar-worthy
gold metallic homecoming dresses and floor-length gowns are one of our favorite
prom trends of the year. Balance out the bright gold with toned down black or
neutral accents.
Ravishing
Red
Red
was a big trend at the awards shows this year: Make a bold, celeb-approved
choice for prom with a floor-length, slinky scarlet gown.
Bright
White
If
there's one thing we can learn about style from Taylor Swift, it's that a long,
flowing white dress is always a classy choice for a red-carpet event. Keep
white from looking too bridal but adding black or metallic accents.
Long
Slits
Show
a little leg with a tasteful skirt slit, like this skirt worn by Ashley
Tisdale.
Sweeetheart
Neckline
The
sweetheart necklace is a classic, romantic silhouette for prom, and we're
loving some of this season's newest styles that are flattering for almost any
figure.
Color
Pop
Take
a cue from Chloe Moretz and go bold this year in a bright, eye-catching
solid-colored dress.
Sequined
Prom
is the perfect occasion to go all-out in all-over sequins, either in a pretty
neutral or metallic hue, or a bright all-over color like Nina Dobrev.
Ladylike
Peplum
Dressed-up
peplum was all over the red carpet this year, and we're even seeing it on some
of the season's prom
dresses. Opt for a shorter, flirty style to avoid too much fabric.
Embellished
Prints
Take
an all-over patterns up a notch with an embellished print with a statement-making
textured print like brocade.
