Popular Prom Dress Colors

Prom dresses come in so many different colors, shades, and hues that can complement any complexion or hair color. Let’s look at some of the most popular prom dress colors that are on-trend.

Hot Pink/Neon Pink Prom Dresses

There’s something about hot pink dresses that scream glamorous, feminine, and flirty. Whether your style is a full-on girly girl or you like a little bit more of an edge, you can find the perfect hot pink style for you. So, if you’re looking to add a jolt of color into your big night, then colors like hot pink and neon pink are great choices.

Plus, bright pinks can warm up those with cooler, fairer skin tones. Yet, it can still perfectly complement girls with darker complexions and warmer undertones. No matter who’s wearing it, hot pink can really make anyone’s skin color pop.

Emerald Green Prom Dresses

We all know shades of green can make you feel lush and luxurious, like royalty. But emerald is on a whole other level. This shade is deep and bold, which still has some brightness to it.

Pair your emerald green prom dress with metallics, neutrals, and other green tones to truly bring out the look. You can even add in some peach tones with your accessories like your clutch, earrings, and even heels.

Add some accessories with embellishments to make your emerald green prom dress pop even more. For example, embellished and rhinestone high heels would be a perfect pairing, especially if they’re gold since metallics look great with emerald.

Rose Gold Prom Dresses

Rose gold is such a gorgeous color that brings a softness to traditional gold. It’s like a cross between classic gold and soft pink. This beautiful hue could look even better with glistening sequins and the right amount of shimmer. Designers also like to pair a rose gold design with delicate beadwork, layer skirt ruffles, and a brocade bodice that brings out the gold accents.

You can find just about any style in the rose gold hue, including fun two-piece dresses and sequin gowns with intricate designs. No matter what style you choose, make sure you pair it with the right accessories. Gold pieces with a rose tint can really complement your rose gold dress and all of its shimmer.

Red Prom Dresses

Red is a classic prom night color for a reason. It just gives that elegance that’s reminiscent of the red carpet. A bright, bold shade of red brings a bombshell look that can make you feel like a Hollywood star or vintage vixen. So, if you want to stun your prom date with a glamorous, smoldering look, then red is definitely the color for you.

What makes red such a standout color is the wide range of shades it comes in. Whether you’re looking for a bright cherry red prom dress that looks stunning with blonde hair or a deeper, darker red gown that flatters your brunette mane, you’re sure to find the perfect hue.

Light Blue Prom Dresses

Light blue is such a soft, pretty color that offers a dreamy, yet elegant look that’s always on-trend. So, if you want to look dainty and regal on prom night, then go for a light blue dress that makes you feel like you’re a princess in a fairytale.

And speaking of fairytales, a light blue mermaid gown can be a real show-stopper on your special night. With a fitted top half that hugs your curves just right and a bottom that features a stylish sea of tulle, a light blue mermaid prom dress can put you in touch with your inner princess.

Lilac Prom Dresses

Pastel colors are often the go-to hues for prom night and have been for quite some time. But if everyone is rocking the baby pinks, light blues, and soft yellows, how can you truly stand out? Soft lavender and lilac hues are perfect colors to switch things up a bit.

While still keeping the elegance and royalty of a classic purple, lilac brings a softer, more playful touch to any prom look. This color really shines positive vibes that truly represent the sweet serenity of springtime. Whether you’re going for a plunging v-neck and open-back gown or a high neckline dress with flirty cutouts on each side, a lilac hue can really bring out the details.
