Ball Gowns, French Twists, and a Lot of Corsages - See Our Old Prom Pictures From Yesteryear

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:20:43 PDT

Prom season is a thing of the past for most of us, but we can't help but to reminisce on the days when all that mattered was a pretty dress and, if you're lucky, a hot date to accompany you to the red-carpet high school event of the year. Of course, we've all evolved since then, but how great would it be to take a trip down memory lane? That said, we rallied up a few of our Sugar cohorts to share their old school prom pictures from yesteryear. Inside, you'll find a lot of ball gowns - remember when Jessica McClintock dresses were all the rage? - throwback updos, corsages, and a lot more to take you way back in time.

You all are missing out on some serious fun in the A Devilish Challenge group founded by redegg! Here, you can join in on some fashion challenges ranging from fantastical party wear to a trip to the City of Light to positively Posh outfits. The group was inspired by the Fab movie The Devil Wears Prada and has a cheeky air of mystique.

Most recently, they whipped together a challenge to find prom looks for the price of take out! Not only is that a genius title, but these looks are pretty smokin'. My favorite look, shown here, was created by atoxicsparkle . I love it because I was actually quite prim and proper for my prom and this look is sassy and fun!

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "Prom-asaurus"

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:00:30 PDT

It's prom time again on Glee, and this year's festivities contain just as much drama as last year's, plus infinitely more dinosaurs. That's right - Brittany decides to exercise her presidential rights in order to celebrate the peace that apparently once existed between cavemen and dinos. It doesn't make much sense, but it does give Brittany the opportunity to prance around in a Flintstones-esque getup to Ke$ha's "Dinosaur."

It wouldn't be prom without a heated race for king and queen, and the usual suspects have their eyes on the prize: Quinn, Santana, Kurt, and Brittany. Only Quinn uses questionable methods in hopes of winning the crown, but once again, there's a shocker when the envelopes are finally read. It really feels like we're inching closer to that bittersweet Glee graduation, so let's recap the episode when you

Can I just say how much I loved all of the performances this week? OK, "Dinosaur" isn't about to be added to my iPod, but the slate of pop songs is otherwise wonderful. Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine harmonize beautifully on "Big Girls Don't Cry," while "Love You Like a Love Song" and "What Makes You Beautiful" are perfect current choices for the prom. The clincher of course is "Take My Breath Away," which serves nicely as the prom king and queen dance. Overall, I was feeling it.
With NYADA no longer in the picture, Rachel decides to shift her focus away from her shattered dreams and on to her prom and her wedding. That is, until she learns that Finn and Quinn are campaigning together for prom. It's easy to see both sides of the equation: Rachel doesn't want her prom night ruined by another girl, but Finn wants to help his friend who's had a rough year. Rachel doesn't give in though, and decides to throw her very own anti-prom party. It might have been a good idea if anyone besides Kurt, Blaine, Puck, and Becky showed up.
Quinn starts making major strides at therapy with Joe's support, and decides to show off her walking skills at the prom. In the meantime, she shamelessly uses her condition to sway voters, much to Finn's chagrin. He's sent over the edge when he catches her on two legs during the prom, and is particularly mad at himself for putting Quinn's feelings first. Finn nearly gets into a brawl with Joe after aggressively demanding that Quinn come clean to all the people that voted for her, but ultimately storms off instead.
Finn sets out to bring Rachel and co. back to the prom, which is well timed since Rachel just so happens to be showing off her perfect prom dress at that very moment. It seems like everyone's happy, until Santana learns that Brittany won't win prom king and is bitter about the whole prom court situation. Quinn has earned the most votes anyway, but she takes no pleasure in the victory - and tells Principal Figgins that Rachel was a write-in winner. It's a very sappy, very Glee moment, but it's a refreshing change of pace after Kurt winning prom queen last year as a cruel joke. Rachel's genuinely shocked, and once she realizes she's not in her own version of Carrie, she enjoys her moment in the sun.
There are major strides for the rest of the kids as well: Becky finally gets her crown, Puck fulfills his lifelong dream of spiking the prom punch, and Blaine conquers his fear of going gel-free. Like I said, big accomplishments.

How did you feel about the second helping of prom - and which prom episode do you prefer?

Style Guide: What to Wear to Prom

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 03 May 2012 07:59:07 PDT

We are thrilled to share this story from Lauren Conrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven has started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. This week, she's sharing her dress picks for prom.

If you're in high school, there is only one thing on your mind right now: Prom! It's one of the quintessential high school experiences that will stick with you for a lifetime. For most of us, it's the first time you really get to dress up like a princess for a night. And because it is such a special night, it calls for a very special dress.

Back when I was in school, gowns were the go-to dress of choice. (Let me tell you, gowns can get pretty pricey.) Thankfully, prom trends have broadened and shorter hemlines have been embraced.

Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite looks for prom along with my top picks for each look listed below . . .

Alice + Olivia Tibby Petal Dress

There Are Few Things Quite So Stunning as the Red Dress - Elizabeth Olsen's the Proof

Hannah Weil — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:39:00 PDT

Elizabeth Olsen's Valentino gown at last night's Grand Chefs Dinner in NYC had our jaws dropping for two very simple reasons: its statement-red hue and ultrafeminine fit (in that order). It's the kind of dress that leaves a lasting impression - and one that calls to mind the diaphanous red bridal wear we just saw from Vera Wang. We already knew red was a standout color - now we're wondering why we ever shy away from it. It calls to mind totally confident, classic beauties like Cindy Crawford and it has unmatched red-carpet impact. You may not be walking the red carpet anytime soon, but you may have your own reason to slip into a killer red dress. Be it your prom, a black-tie wedding, or a Spring gala in your future, we promise, there are few things quite so stunning as arriving in a red dress like this. We sought out the most glamorous red options; just shop to channel Elizabeth Olsen's totally magnetic red-carpet moment.
