Can you believe prom season is already here?! I’m so excited to see all the glam looks. The good news is, there are so many amazing styles to choose from this year.
To help you kick off your search, I found 10 of the best prom dresses, with everything from red-carpet-ready gowns to sweet and sparkly numbers.
1. Red Lace Dress

We have to talk about lace because it’s just so elegant and timeless. This red lace number is an absolute knockout. It’s backless and has that gorgeous floor-sweeping length. The red color is so bold and really makes a statement.
You could totally rock a similar style in black too. A little tip: if you go with a backless dress, an updo is the perfect way to show off the feature.
2. Black Prom Dress

I love a dress that mixes things up, and this one is the perfect example. It has a classic, formal black skirt that goes all the way to the floor, but the top of the dress is more for a party.
The bodice features stylish cut-outs and a sweetheart neckline. With a dress like this, you get the best of both worlds—you look special and ready for the dance floor.
3. Elegant Turquoise Prom Dress

If you want to make an entrance, a vibrant color is a must. This turquoise dress is seriously stunning. It features sheer panels on the bodice that are covered in gems.
But the crystal flower straps are what really seal the deal for me. A dress with a bright color and such a unique design is how you make a statement.
4. Glamorous Sleeveless Dress

Looking for that full-on glam moment? Then you need to check out this next idea. This dress is sleeveless, figure-hugging, and has a beautiful sparkling design. If you can’t find a sparkly pattern, don’t worry.
The key elements to this look are the close fit, no sleeves, and floor length skirt. You could choose almost any color fabric for a dress like this.
5. Sweetheart Prom Dress

Okay, how about a dress that’s fit for a modern princess? This one is a total dream! The dress has a pretty sweetheart neckline, a close-fitting bodice, and then flows into a stunning floor-length skirt. And the best part?
The whole dress is covered in shimmering sparkles. A dress like this would suit anyone and will bring glamour to the prom.
6. Vibrant Ombre Dress

I’m obsessed with this unique ombre gown. It has a wrap-over, halter neck bodice with a stylish cut-out and overskirt. The white and purple compliment each other so perfectly to create a beautiful ombre effect.
You could take inspiration from this and choose an ombre dress or one in a solid color with similar features. Either way, you will have a stunning prom look.
7. Bold Blue Dress

If you prefer simpler dresses, then this next idea could be for you. This dress is close-fitting, hits the floor, and has a split that ends just above the knee.
There isn’t anything complicated about this dress and anyone could wear it. You could choose a dress in a bold and beautiful blue like this one or wear your favorite shade; almost any color would work.
8. Trendy Black Floor Length Dress

Crystal embellishments are having a major moment, and here’s how you can wear this trend for prom.
This stunning long black dress has a net feature on the bodice and sleeves with crystal embellishments. A dress like this will give your look a pop of color and sparkle.

You can’t go wrong with a black dress, and this one has a trendy update. The dress has beautiful lace sleeves and two skirts. One skirt is short, while the sheer overskirt is delicate and sweeps the floor.
With a dress like this, you get a classic black dress look as well as a formal gown.
10. Delicate Light Floor Length Dress

Next, we have a stunning dress idea. The skirt uses a light and floaty fabric, and the bodice has a choker feature. Choker dresses are very stylish, and one like this is perfect for a special occasion as it is covered in sparkling crystals. The dress overall looks pretty, delicate, and party ready.
