Most Popular 2025 Style: Sparkle Prom Dresses
From a metallic sheen to outright glitz and dazzle, sparkly prom dresses are big for the 2025 prom season. Get on the shimmer trend this year by wearing one of the three types of sparkle prom dresses below!
- Metallic Prom Dresses: While the classic metallic hues of silver and gold might immediately come to mind when you think “metallic prom dresses,” it’s really the sheen of the fabric that makes a gown metallic, not necessarily the color. So if you want to rock the sparkle prom dress trend with a subtle shine, then look for the glossy shimmer of metallic styles. Shop PromGirl’s metallic prom dresses to get your shine on at prom 2025!
- Sequin Prom Dresses: The most classic of all sparkle prom dresses, sequin gowns have been a fashion staple for decades, and this season is seeing a surge in this timeless feature’s popularity. From sequined bodices and prints to allover sequins, some of the best prom dresses for 2025 feature a range of sequin embellishment options. Shop PromGirl’s sequin prom dresses to dazzle your dream gown!
- Glitter Prom Dresses: The ultimate in sparkle, glitter prom dresses are the way to go for the most luminous look of all this season. With every move you make, light will strike your glitter gown in new ways for the most eye-catching shimmer. And of course, there’s always a chance you’ll be leaving a trail of glitter as you go! Shop PromGirl’s glitter prom dresses for the ultimate sparkle this year!
Hottest Prom Dress Features for 2025
For 2025, the prom dress trends that are the hottest (after the sparkle revolution, of course!) involve the bodice. From structured boning to sheer illusion mesh, the top prom dresses this season boast some kind of corset-style embellishment. Check out the three most popular prom dress features for this season below.
- Corset Prom Dresses: Far from the classic corset, this year’s prom dress trend features a mix of the traditional corset boning, as well as more modern variations. While corset boning typically provides hidden shaping and support, especially for a strapless neckline, the corset prom dresses this season often put that boning on full (and stylish) display with embellishments or sheer mesh (more on that next). Many corset prom dresses also feature lace-up backs (more details below), but it’s not a requirement for this style so they can just as easily zip up in the back. Shop PromGirl’s corset prom dresses to find your favorite style!
- Sheer Prom Dresses: No, we don’t mean completely sheer from neckline to hem! Remember, the hottest prom dress features for 2025 involve the bodice, so sheer bodices are hot, hot, hot this year. Often formed with illusion mesh or sheer lace, the bodices of these popular prom dresses tend to have built-in modesty cups, strategically-placed sparkling or 3-D embellishments, and corset boning too. Shop PromGirl’s illusion prom dresses to find sheer bodices and more!
- Lace-Up Prom Dresses: With or without the corset boning trend mentioned above, many of the top styles this season feature a lace-up back detail. Besides adding an ultra chic design, lace-up features also make it a lot easier to get yourself comfortably snug in your chosen gown. By tightening or loosening the lacing, you can practically give yourself a customized fit! Shop PromGirl’s corset prom dresses to find styles with adjustable lace-up backs!
