The hottest prom trends this year include homages to what celebrities like Taylor Swift and Blake Lively wore on the red carpet to dresses that look ready to rock a prom, homecoming or even the Oscars. As a style expert, every year I seek out the latest prom trends and share the looks on real teens on KTLA Los Angeles. And each year I feature two teens from Step Up which is an organization that mentors teen girls, helps build their confidence and get them ready for college.
Hottest Prom Trends
Daisy looks ready for the Oscars as much as being a shimmering beauty at the prom. Gold sequin dress with one shoulder design by Be Smart available at JC Penney. All our guys (Sean, Noah and John) are wearing tuxes from Generation Tux. Order online 15 days before your prom and choose a tux and shirt from a variety of styles, the accessories like bow tie, cufflinks and pocket square and even the shoes for a rental of $150. Just put in your sizes or follow the online video to determine your measurements and then choose a pre-styled look or customize your outfit. Your tux rental will arrive approximately seven days before the big day.
