Calling all would-be prom queens: celebrate the end of secondary school, sixth form or college in style with our guide to creating an unforgettable prom-night look
Strike up the bandeau
To make a real statement at prom, opt for a bandeau dress in a satin, sparkly or shimmering fabric. For something subtle yet striking, try this beautiful black strapless dress by Nobody’s Child which features a ruched bodice and a full skirt for a touch of vintage-inspired glamour. Love sequins? Go for Ro&Zo’s single-shoulder midaxi dress, with a sleek and flattering column design. Finish your look with understated accessories – think monochromatic clutch bags and shoes in black or white, delicate jewellery and low-key make-up (or a bold red lip!) to let your prom dress really shine.
ROLL out the red carpet for these striking bandeau dressesthe
Get into the summer spirit with prom outfits in juicy bright shades. We love this satin V-neck slip dress by French Connection in an eye-catching Barbie-pink hue, as well as our lemon-yellow Autograph strappy lace midi. If you’re not a dress person, opt for this red strapless jumpsuit by Nobody’s Child, with its on-trend wide-leg silhouette. For bandeau necklines and strappy dresses, make sure you’ve got the right kind of support – check out our range of strapless bras.
Make a STATEMENT with prom outfits in vibrant block colours
There’s nothing more glamorous than a deep midnight navy or black prom dress. With its flattering lace-detailed neckline, Monsoon’s navy column maxi dress is an ultra-elegant choice, while Ghost’s slinky navy halterneck maxi is the last word in sophistication thanks to its column silhouette. If you prefer a shorter hemline, try Ro&Zo’s polka-dot midi tea dress – the cutout at the back adds subtle detail. Offset a dark prom dress with a diamanté shoulder bag, sparkling hair accessories and jewellery – prom is an excuse to indulge in a little glitz, after all.
