There is so much to think about when you start shopping for that special dress. The colour, the fabric, style, straps or no straps, are all important factors in finding a dress that feels like it was made for you. Everything can feel overwhelming, almost like you’ll never find that perfect dress. Don’t worry! We’re here to narrow down the search, help you tick all the boxes, and help you find the dress that makes you feel like the best version of yourself at Prom 2025.
What style of prom dress will suit me best?
Deciding what style makes you look your best and most authentic self at prom is a tough decision. Finding a prom dress style that best suits your body shape is important to take into consideration before buying your dress. But don’t worry, Red Carpet Ready is here to help! With our stock providing a range of styles from a variety of top designers, including our most popular RCR Exclusives Collection, any girl can express her authentic self at prom. So if your struggling for inspiration, here are a few of our favourite examples of some of the many styles we stock.
Do I want a Ballgown for Prom?
Big skirts and ballgowns are often what pops into people’s heads when you think ‘prom’, so wearing one to your prom in 2025 is a classic choice. A-line skirts and ballgown silhouettes give any girl a dramatic look on prom night and are definitely the choice if you want that princess moment at prom.
So if you’re considering a ballgown for prom 2025, here are some examples of our favourite princess dresses at Red Carpet Ready.
Our dress ‘Lilly‘, is one of our favourite A-line ballgowns and was worn in red by TikTok star Ami Charlize for her prom in 2023. This is an example of a dress that gives you that wow silhouette for a floatier option.
Looking to add a bit of drama to your ballgown at prom? Look no further than our ‘Sky’ dress, one of our most popular dresses to date. A ruffle ballgown like this one gives any girl the perfect princess look at prom.
What about a Fishtail prom dress?
Like a princess ballgown, a fishtail prom dress is a very classic style for prom. However, a mermaid cut dress gives you a completely different look for Prom 2025, with a more fitted skirt and a flare at the end. If you’re a girl wanting a classic prom look but don’t think the princess ballgown is for you, a fishtail gown is the perfect choice.
For that classic example of a mermaid cut dress, nothing is more iconic than our ruffled mermaid cut dress ‘Lola’. It’s tight-fitted and detailed bodice that hugs the hips and bursts into a poofy skirt is sure to have heads turning on prom night.
How about a Slinky dress?
For a modern fitted dress look for Prom 2025, a slinky dress is the perfect choice. Often paired with a satin or shimmer finish and a high slit, a slinky gown looks elegant and sophisticated for the prom queen wanting a timeless look.
For a simpler silhouette but a glamorous style of dress, a slinky dress is the perfect choice for prom. Our ‘Tori’ slinky dress gives you an elegant look with its stain finish and lace bodice while bringing the drama with a high-leg slit.
‘I want to look WOW at prom’. How about a couture dress?
Going with a couture gown for prom guarantees being noticed. After all, there is no better way to stand out at prom than with a couture dress. These intricate and detailed gowns are incredibly detailed, often hand-made, and usually come in colours like Silver, Gold, and Nude.
Our beautiful Prague gown will make you sparkle in every way, with intricate beading that catches the light. In this dress, any girl is sure to shine at Prom 2025.
What colour dress do I go for at prom?
What colour dress to go with is a big decision. Do you stand out with a bright and bold colour, or go for a more elegant pastel like a blush or a baby blue? The important thing is to pick the dress that feels the most like you!
Our fishtail style ‘Belle’ dress was a hit for Prom 2024, and comes in a range of colours, including both a bold Royal Blue and a lighter, elegant Cinderella Baby Blue. So while you think you just want a ‘blue’ dress, choosing which shade is another thing to consider. And as our Belle dress comes in pink, gold, and red as well as both blues so choosing a colour will be the least of your worries.
What to wear with your dress?
Once you’ve found that gorgeous dress, the last thing to consider is what to pair it with to tie your look together and make your prom look one to remember. Are you a girl who wants to be dripping in diamonds? Or are you a Converse with your dress girl (or even Crocs)? The final choice is ultimately yours.
Red Carpet Ready is here to help add that sparkling touch to your look. We offer a choice of jewellery sets in a range of colours to match your dress in-store. Our venue showcases walls of sparkling clutch bags that won’t just add that final touch of magic to your look but will last long after prom ends as a lasting memory of an unforgettable night and can be worn as a look for many more nights in the future!
