Get the Lux Punk look
If you’re thinking of experimenting with an edgier look for prom then this season’s ‘lux punk’ trend could become your key influence. It’s dark, a little bit dangerous even, but with a glamorous twist making it perfect for making a splash at prom! Forget Cinderella style prom dresses adorned with floral motifs – it’s time to start a dark romance with plenty of black lace, prom dresses with corsetted busts and prom accessories with rugged details such as chains and studs. It’s not as scary as it sounds… as with all statement trends, a little goes a long way! To make this look work for prom opt for an inspired bag, pair of heels or even a lone bangle. Just don’t try to wear it all at once - we’re pretty sure your mum won’t let you past the front door!
Dress, 1184 POA Mac Duggal
There’s no arguing that black lace is ultra luxurious and the fabric to set off this trend. Check out this sassy prom dress from Mac Duggal’s Couture collection. We love the raven-like feather trim to the skirt!
Heels, £65 Office
Studs are big so this pair of punky heels from Office are bang on trend! They’re an edgy twist to the classic black court – ideal for adding a touch of danger to your prom outfit.
Libertarian headband, £110 Rock ‘n Rose
OK, bear with us on this one! Channel your inner Lady Ga Ga with this rockin’ leather crown fascinator. Everyone at prom will not only know who’s prom queen, but who’s got statement style too!
Luxury cuff, £10 Accessorize
This season ditch polished gemstone bangles for an edgy cuff. We love the antique chain detail – perfect for mixing it up in your fave LBD.
Bag, £99 Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer prove that it’s not just the place your nan buys her undies from with this trend setting bag. The gun metal stud pattern and chain are the perfect mix of dark and luxurious. It’s a little pricey, but the design is truly fab!
