Pink Prom Dress

Pink Prom Dresses 

Pink prom dresses exude romantic vibes, which is perfect if you’re going to prom with a sweetheart or you’re hoping to ask someone special to dance. 

The color pink is associated with love and femininity, though that doesn’t mean it's a monolith! While red is the traditional color for boldness, bright pink prom dresses will definitely make you stand out from the crowd, no matter what length or silhouette you decide to go with. 

Hot Pink Prom Dresses

If you want to fully channel Barbie vibes for your prom, then you can’t go wrong with a hot pink prom dress. This vibrant, ultra-girly shade is sure to get you lots of attention and help you feel like your most feminine self.

Surprisingly, hot pink can look striking against most skin tones, but it can be especially stunning on those with a darker skin color. For your makeup, you can play up the Barbie-look with voluminous eyelashes (you can even get falsies meant to mimic doll eyes), bright pink or glossy lips, and well-defined brows.

You have several options for accessorizing a hot pink prom dress. Black heels (and even gloves) can give you a high-contrast, playful look. You can also opt for shimmery metallics, or opt for a pair of heels in bright pink. To show multiple sides of your personality, you can pair a hot pink prom dress with combat boots or other less feminine accessories.

Dark Pink Prom Dresses 

Dark pink prom dresses in shades like rouge or blush bring an extra layer of sophistication, especially in long, fitted looks. Wear a solid dark pink gown for refined elegance or opt for a print incorporating dark pink to bring in an extra sense of playfulness.

In pictures, most shades of dark pink will make cool hair and skin undertones pop. If you have warm undertones, don’t be afraid to try a dark pink dress though – especially one that’s more red than purple in tone. 

When you’re choosing accessories and shoes, you can’t go wrong with metallics like gold or silver. A small black bag or black shoes will also suit your dress without upstaging it, especially if you plan on wearing a long gown. White accessories can provide an interesting contrast, but be sure they don’t compete with your dress. 

Light Pink Prom Dresses 

Light pink prom dresses are the ultimate in feminine, flirty fun! Whether you’re trying to channel florals or your favorite ballet performance, light pink brings a romantic vibe unrivaled by pretty much any other color. 

When it comes to choosing a shade, light pink is one of those rare colors that complement warm and cool undertones alike. If you have darker hair, a prom dress in light pink will make it pop in pictures. 

Light pink prom dresses pair very nicely with accessories in white or other light pastel tones. If you like a dramatic contrast, you can try a black bag, statement necklace, or shoes – just be sure the contrast doesn’t upstage your dress. 

Baby Pink Prom Dresses 

Baby pink is a specific shade of light pink; it’s a bit darker than more pastel shades, and is similar to a softer version of bubblegum pink. A baby pink prom dress is a great option if you feel like paler pink colors may wash you out but you don’t want a shade as loud as hot pink.

When wearing a baby drink prom dress, you can play up the feminine vibes with soft, romantic makeup (think rose eyeshadow, pink lips, and flushed cheeks). Long, loose waves, intricate braids, or flower-laced updos are solid options for your hair that will add to your overall femme look.

Shimmery metallics or matching baby pink accessories are the best options to avoid competing with your baby pink prom dress. You can also opt for neutral or clear heels to avoid distracting from the delicate shade you’re wearing. 

Short Pink Prom Dresses 

Short pink prom dresses give off a graceful ballerina vibe that will keep you dancing all night. While long prom dresses tend to be the most popular choice, short prom dresses are easier to dance in and can help you cool off. 

You can choose a form-fitting pink short prom dress to bring a sense of maturity to your look – this is your last hurrah for high school, after all! If fitted dresses aren’t your thing, a short A-line dress calls back to that ballerina vibe, and as a bonus, moves with you while you dance. 

With a shorter hemline, keep in mind that your shoe choice will be on display. You can get a little more flashy with your shoes when you have a shorter dress, so don’t be afraid to go all out. Just remember to choose shoes you can dance in! 

Long Pink Prom Dresses 

For the most part, long pink prom dresses either tend to be fitted or have a ball gown silhouette. Mermaid dresses bring the best of both worlds, being fitted through the knees and then flaring outward, resembling a mermaid tail. 

A long, fitted pink prom dress shows that you’re confident and classy. Details like beading or puff sleeves play nicely with the feminine vibe that pink gives your look. A pink ball gown is the ultimate in princess chic, especially paired with sparkly details. 

If you want to wear a long pink prom dress but want to add a bit of playful flair, you can go with a print or a two piece set. A print will bring down the formality of a long dress a few notches while still making you feel like a princess. A pink two piece set exudes playfulness, even when the skirt is floor-length (but check your school’s dress code before investing!) 

Pretty in Pink for Prom! 

The overall vibe of your pink prom look will depend on the shade you choose, and there are so many to go with. If you’re looking to radiate romantic femininity, sophisticated elegance, or make a bold entrance, there’s a pink prom dress just for you!
