Basic silhouettes:
- A-silhouette ("mermaid")-still remains a favorite due to its versatility and ability to emphasize the figure.
- The straight cut is ideal for lovers of minimalism and modern style.
- Ball gown-with a full skirt and corset, returns to fashion with new materials and decorative elements.
- Asymmetrical models-with one shoulder, diagonal hem or uneven length -emphasize boldness and originality.
"Fashion is not about what to wear, but about who you are," Coco Chanel said. And in 2026, this phrase is especially relevant: a prom dress should be an extension of a girl's personality.
2. Color palette: tenderness and audacity in one image
The colors of the prom dresses of 2026 surprise with their depth and layering. Designers are abandoning monochrome in favor of gradients, iridescences and unexpected combinations. |
