This week I styled a Prom Fashion Show for Macy’s. I figured I’d share 6 must see prom trends and dresses that I styled for the fashion show.
I, April Golightly am wearing an JR Nites Embellished Illusion Mesh Cutout Gown. The Cutout slashes with mesh paneling reveal just enough on JR Nites’ sizzling gown, while sparkling jewels highlight all the right places. Amp up the glamour with a cat eye and a peachy pout! MAC added some lashes as well.

Blush is the hottest color for spring. It can be seen everywhere from jackets to jeans, but it looks best on a prom dress.

Navy was all over the spring runway. It was featured on the runways of Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, and Chanel. Navy is the new black this spring. The color works as a neutral and you can even pair it with black! If you live in jeans and t-shirts and the the thought of wearing a gown sounds like the worst thing ever, then short dresses are for you. Also, if you want to accessorize, this is the perfect way to do it! Go for a cool embellished headpiece, over the top statement earrings or necklace.
