Prom is one of the most exciting events in high school, and picking the right dress is a big part of it. In 2025, prom dress trends are all about fun, beauty, and showing off your personal style. Whether you want something soft and pretty or bold and eye catching, there’s a dress out there for you. Here are some of the top trends for this prom season.
Pastels
Light colors like blush pink, lavender, baby blue, and mint green are very popular this year. These soft shades give off a calm and elegant look. They work well on many skin tones and look great in photos too.

Sparkle
Glittery and shiny dresses are always a prom favorite, and they’re still going strong in 2025. Some dresses are covered in sequins, while others just have a little sparkle in the top or skirt. Either way, they help you stand out on the dance floor.

Corset Tops
Corset style tops are a big trend right now. They give the dress a nice shape and can make you feel confident and classy. Some have lace-up backs, which also look really pretty and help the dress fit better.
Floral and Layered Details
Some dresses this year have 3D flowers or layers of tulle for extra volume. These details make the dress feel unique and give off a soft, fairytale vibe.
