Forget the dowdy looking frock your grandmother passed down to you. Without disrespect, of course, but if you want to charm the socks off of the guy you’ve been eyeing during the prom, the best way to do this is totally turn into celebrity during the prom! Here are the different kinds of looks you can adopt for your prom.

The classy, the sophisticated Prom Queen. Originally thought that this should be two categories but decided to dump into one….think Eva Longoria. Think Catherine Zeta-Jones. Imagine yourself donning one of their looks for your prom and can you hear the guys whistling under their breaths yet? The key is in the dress that you pick for your prom. Usually, celebrities look classy and elegant by donning something with as few alternating colors as possible. Safe colors for your prom dress should be somewhere along the lines or black, white, read and navy blue. Off shoulder, one-shoulder, puffy sleeves, long tail…whatever it is, the prom dress will simply send out signals of its own on prom night.

Free Spirit look for your prom. Not everyone can carry off the elegant look very well and if you have short-hair and particularly known as the spunky kind, try the free spirit look for your prom dress. I am talking about knee-length dress or the strapless cocktail dress kind. Many people prefer pastel colors but I think any color is perfectly fine as long as you have bold prints and bright colors. Go steal the show at the prom!

The traffic-stopping prom look. Rule out that skimpy bra-revealing top combined with fishnet stockings, that’s another kind of traffic-stopping. For your prom night, you might want to try out this look with exaggerated curls and ruffles, dress on some drapes and add on layers, show off some shoulder and back too! I bet if you dress like this, you’ll be getting lots of enviable invites out to the dance floor during prom night.

Make sure you rent a limousine for you prom because after spending so much time mulling over the perfect look for your prom, you don’t want to ruin the image by climbing into a cab!
