Top 5 Sequin dresses
Tinsel Town has been living up to its name with an abundance of sequin dresses hitting the red carpet lately. Naturally, this has filtered down the high street and we’ve picked out a few of our faves. A sequin prom dress is the perfect eye-grabbing look for prom, so whether you want to follow in Taylor Swift’s footsteps and drape yourself in a full-length glitter ball number, or a subtle twinkle is all you’re after – take a look at our ‘all-budgets’ top 5…
Long sleeved mini dress, £68 Lipsy
This long sleeved 60’s style mini is so feminine and the nude/white sheer fabric is simply angelic. We love the lavishly embellished neckline as a pretty alternative to all-over sequins. You may get a little hot with long sleeves for prom, but this style is all about the legs, so make sure those pins are waxed and bronzed! Wear with natural tights if bare legs seem a little daring, then team with nude heels and some pretty glitzy accessories.
Herve Leger dress, £750 Burnt Out But Opulent
OK, OK, £750 smackers is rather a lot to spend on one prom dress but wow, what a dress! The thick straps and sweetheart neckline are great for a fuller bust and the graduating colours down the hips and thighs will flatter curves. We simply adore the dramatic deep purples contrasting into pretty pastels and of course the all-over sequins are perfect for making a show-stopping entrance. Keep accessories low-key by opting for a simple black or purple clutch and heels.
Kate dress, £35 Fashion Union
If you’re style is more ‘vintage lovely’ than ‘disco diva’, check out this cute embellished mini prom dress. We adore the beaded shield-like motifs and sequin waist band. The flirty skirt will look gorgeous twirling on the dancefloor too.
Sequin bodycon dress, £95 Littlewoods.com
Petite ladies this is the sequin prom dress for you. Bronze up those limbs and slip on this bodycon mini to ensure an outfit to remember. Go all out with a pair of silver glittery heels and smoky eyes or transform into a retro starlet like Fergie with Hollywood curls and red lips.
Geometric sequin mini dress, £99 Very.co.uk
Wow! This dress could stop traffic! We just love the all over geometric sequin design with summer lovin’ orange, purple and turquoise. The bodycon silhouette is one to rock with confidence, and probably a tan. Keep make-up and accessories to a minimum and go for a messy up-do for a little rock-chic!
