For prom - or any special occasion - this season's "IT" girls are taking a cue from the catwalk and discovering unique ways to let their personality shine through. Just like A-list celebs, you can create your own signature style by finding an exclusive, high fashion dress and accessorizing in a way that expresses your individuality. You'll look like you just stepped off the pages of your fave magazine when you shop David's amazing selection of runway-inspired styles. There's something to suit
every personality, from hip and edgy to classic and chic. To stay on top of the season's must-haves, David's Bridal's style experts offer insight into the latest trends:


Show off your personal style by choosing a sophisticated dress with unexpected twists. Playful patterns and dramatic details combine to create a glam look. What's new now: striking graphics, bold florals, sutble ombré, and exotic animal prints. Available in classic or fashion-forward silhouettes, these stunning designs are sure to steal the spotlight both on and off the dance floor. An abstract charmeuse print dress with sequin detail is the perfect example of this key trend.


Taking a cue from fashion's elite, classic silhouettes are new again. Retro looks include shorter lengths and details from sweet to sexy. There's something stylish for every body type, from figure flattering A-lines to ultra feminine ball gowns. Play up your favorite features with a celeb-inspired one-shoulder or halter style. Or try a fun and flirty tea-length dress accented with paillettes and a waist-defining belt, one of the hottest trends of the season. Exquisite embellishments and fabrics such as satin, taffeta, charmeuse, or organza will help channel your inner Fashionista (even if you didn't know you had one!).


This season's vibrant color palette offers an unparalleled selection of fresh favorites to flatter every skin tone and personality. Pop colors like intense neons and energized jewels will radiate on the dance floor and ensure attention all night long. Or put your personal spin on a classic primary-colored or neutral number. A striking red beaded dress with illusion neckline and godet skirt detail is a great choice for someone looking to make a statement. If you've got mod on the mind, robust yellows, deep purples, stunning metallics, and black and white classics are the perfect fix.


Daring details such as cutouts or a low, open back create cutting-edge silhouettes reminiscent of the red carpet. For an unforgettable designer look, consider a stunningly silky spaghetti strap dress with criss-cross X-back. If your style is a little more demure (but no less fabulous), a gorgeous train will guarantee a show-stopping entrance.


Finishing touches are the key to defining your unique look. This season, simple accessories are instantly transformed by layering multiple necklaces or bangles. Pair a chic clutch with metallic strappy-sandals, or choose contrasting hues for your bag and shoes (our dyeable options offer 100+ color choices). If your dress has sleek lines or a strapless neckline, bold earrings or a statement necklace will balance the look. Less is more with embellished dresses so delicate earrings, dazzling peep-toe shoes and a small handbag are all it takes to go the distance. Short or full-length gloves are making a huge comeback this season, probably because they add an element of glam to any dress.
