Spring 2025 is coming in with a whole vibe and we are absolutely, unapologetically OBSESSED. If you’re planning your prom ‘fit like it’s your Met Gala moment, these are the trends that’ll have you turning heads, stealing hearts, and breaking the internet one twirl at a time.


Pretty Pastels
You heard it here first: soft shades are having their main character moment. Pastels like lilac, peach, icy blue, and soft mint are basically spring wrapped in a dress. They're flirty, fresh, and perfect for golden hour pics with your besties. Bonus: they look stunning on everyone!

 

Just look at this stunning pastel purple dress - it's truly what dreams are made of.

Sheer Skirts 
Nothing says “fashion moment” like a dreamy sheer skirt. Think delicate layers of tulle, peekaboo panels, and just enough drama to keep things interesting. Whether it’s over a mini or paired with a high slit, sheer skirts are all about that floaty, fairy goddess vibe. We’re obsessed - and your prom date will be too.

 

Check out this style below - perfect in pink, plus a little added drama with the beautiful sheer skirt over the shorter hemline.

Dramatic Side Drapes
Forget subtle - side drapes are bringing the drama this season. These statement details add an instant "wait, she did what?!" effect to any look. We’re talking fabric that cascades off the hip like you walked straight off a runway. They’re elegant, bold, and made for that mid-spin photo moment. Twirl, pose, repeat.

 

This dress is the perfect example of this trend. Just imagine throwing this drape over your shoulder for the camera!

Open Backs 
Backless gowns? Instant “it girl” status. Whether you go for a low scoop, strappy criss-cross, or sleek cutout, an open back is that little touch of glam that’s subtle but oh-so powerful. Plus, let’s be real - nothing feels cooler than showing up to prom looking like a red carpet pro.

 

This criss-cross back dress below is the perfect blend of sexy and sophisticated.
