Modern Day Disney Princesses Part 2: Prom Edition

Disney Princesses-Topshop

We’ve recently just blogged about some modern interpretations of Disney princesses style. But, we couldn’t help doing a sequel when we saw these beautiful illustrations on the Topshop Facebook page having the same Disney princesses concept. The illustrations featured stylized princesses and villains — even capturing the female essence of male villains’ style like that of Gaston’s and Hades’.

The princesses are styled very sweet and ethereal whilst the villains are given the down right fierce looks. These looks are perfect for prom, so if you want to stand-out while channeling your favorite princess, check-out our match-ups for these darling looks. Below are magnificent prom dresses by renowned brands which are available at MissesDressy.com.

The Magic in Hi-Lo Dresses

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nicole Trunfio

Mini or Maxi? Both are great trends that are consequently giving our fashionistas the hard time to choose. That’s why, fashion wizards whipped up an easy fix — the hi-lo dresses, formally known as fishtail gowns and informally called mullet dresses. These dresses have seemingly magical asymmetrical hemlines that enables wearers to show some legs while still having the elegant train. Genius, right?

Who wouldn’t love it? The hi-lo trend gives the modern angelic vibe, making the wearer look like she’s floating as her skirt billows in the wind  behind her in a really cool, dramatic way. The look is versatile, because it can easily transition from day to evening with the back for business and the front for party, depending on how one styles it accordingly.  It is very feminine and sexy, the perfect tease of a dress, as it allows the wearer the chance to show-off legs and shoes. It has edged in even in numerous runway shows and celebrity red carpets. Check-out some photos straight from the runway: Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, DKNY, J. Mendel, BCBG Max Azaria, Antonio Berardi, and from the red carpet: Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Blake Lively.

If you dare to jump into the world of indecisive hemlines, check-out some of these La Femme and Jovani dresses available at MissesDressy.com. Side note: rocking shoes required.

I would like to share some of my tips to shop while you’re on a budget…

  • Decide how much money you want to spend for the whole outfit (dress, accessories, shoes)
    Say, your budget is $300, find a dress that costs around $150 to $ 200, then you can use the rest of the money for accessories (necklace, earrings, bracelet – if necessary) and shoes.
  • Go for non-traditional dress
    Typically, Prom dress is a classic princess-y ball gowns, but fashion is about thinking outside the box and creating trends. We are so lucky to live in this modern era that most of the things doesn’t have to be traditional. You no longer have to wear a ball gown (unless you really want to). Choose a statement mini dress, easy to wear and no need to worry about someone stepping on your dress. Or gorgeous chiffon dress, or even fabulous printed dress to look stunning and different than others.
