The Best Ball Gown Prom Dresses for 2015

There are only a few times in your life when a ball gown will be an appropriate outfit choice, and prom just happens to be one of them. So if you’re considering donning a dress that will make you feel like a princess on prom night, we say go for it. Full, flouncy gowns are equal parts feminine and fun, and since they’re such a classic look, we get in dozens of gorgeous styles each year so there is always plenty to choose from.

To show just how stunning the style can be, here are 10 of the best ball gown prom dresses for 2015.

1. Jovani 92663. A beaded bodice, royal blue color, and slightly drop-waist style makes this dress a downright showstopper.

2. Tarik Ediz 92183. For a true princess moment, look no farther than this beautiful ball gown, which features paillette detailing on the corset top, and a full tulle skirt.

3. Tony Bowls 113513. Love the way this dress looks in the photo? In person, its sequins are downright jaw dropping. The neutral champagne color ensures that the look is still sophisticates, too.

4.  Jovani 6401. This sweet style reminds us of Cinderella’s dress.

5. Mac Duggal Prom 64640H. We couldn’t take our eyes off of the aqua green color of this dress, which pops against the silver sequined bodice.

6. Tony Bowls 115561. True, white ball gowns might traditionally be equated with weddings, but in this case, the butterfly detailing at the bottom of the dress keep the style youthful and fun.

7. Disney Forever Enchanted Prom 35581. If you prefer a dress on the darker side, this gothic-style gown might be just the dress for you.

8. Sherri Hill 32085. This sunny yellow dress incorporates on of 2015’s hottest trends, the crop top, into the traditional ball gown look.

 

9. Sherri Hill 21334.  This dress proves that you don’t have to show skin to be the best-dressed girl at prom. In this case, a high neckline and full skirt create a modest, but utterly glamorous look.

Prom Inspiration from the 2015 Grammy Awards

If your favorite part of awards season is the fashion, you’re not alone. There’s nothing we love more than watching celebrities parade down the red carpet in couture, and Sunday night’s Grammy Awards were no exception. From ball gowns to pantsuits and everything in between, this year’s looks were downright dazzling, and full of inspiration for the upcoming prom 2015 season.

We’ve chosen five of our favorite red carpet dresses from the Grammy’s, and matched them with Glitterati gowns so you can attend prom in star style.

1. Ariana Grande’s dress–all white with a hit of sequins–was fun, youthful, and flattering. The recipe for a perfect prom dress.

Get the look: With Mc Duggal Prom style 91007, a one-shoulder sheath style dress with a slit, similar to Ariana’s.

2. Iggy Azalea rocked two of our favorite trends for prom 2015: a cutout dress and a royal blue hue.

Get the look: With this Jovani dress (style #8872), that featured a similar shade, curve-hugging style, and cutout details.

3. Jennifer Hudson stunned in an all white sheath dress. Copy the silhouette and color for a chic and simple prom look. (We also love her choice of lip color!)

 

 Get the Look: This Jovani dress (style #2713) adds a bit of prom-appropriate bling to Jennifer Hudson’s look with a bedazzled cape.

4. Rhianna’s dress may have been likened to a cupcake, but we loves the pink shade and voluminous layers.

Get the look: With a frilly ball gown in a similar shade of watermelon, by Fabulouss by Mac Duggal (style # 2042F).

5. Last but certainly not least, Taylor Swift wowed in a turquoise blue cropped dress with a beautiful ballooning train.

Get the Look: In a dress with as much sparkle as Taylor’s (La Femme style #18446) and in an almost identical shade.

5 Tips for Buying Prom Shoes

Once you have your prom dress picked out, the next step it to find the perfect pair of shoes to go with it. Here’s a quick guide to picking out the

1. Choose the right hue. The color of your dress will determine the shade of the shoes you buy. If you’re wearing a colored dress, for example, metallic or nude shoes will be your best bet, since it will be hard to match a shoe to the color of your dress exactly, and black can look harsh against bright colors or pastels. If you’re wearing a white, black, or neutral dress, you can’t go wrong with metallic or black shoes. Or, add a pop of color to your outfit with a colorful pair.

2. Make sure they’re comfortable. As cute as a pair of shoes might be, if you can’t walk in them, you shouldn’t buy them. Remember, you’ll be wearing them for 5 or 6 hours, and much of the time, you’ll be dancing! Prom night is about having fun and making memories, and it’s better to err on the side of comfort and have a blast, than go for six-inch pumps and have to sit at your table while your friends dance.

3. Bring them to your alterations. If you’re getting your dress altered, buy your shoes before you head to the seamstress. This way, you can try them on during your appointment, to make sure your dress is the right length when you have your shoes on.
