Get Her Prom Look
Go short like Emily Browning
You don’t need to be weighed down by a full length ball gown to make an impact at prom as there are hundreds of beautiful short prom dresses from both specialist designers and on the high street. If you love this season’s bold colours, but you’re afraid of looking more Minaj than Michele, go for nude accessories and make-up in neutral shades to soften the look.
Emily Browning clearly took the Red Riding Hood theme literally at the LA movie première in this cute scarlet prom dress. This frock is perfect for girls with a boyish frame as the sweetheart neck flatters slim shoulders and arms, while a knee-length A-line skirt creates curves at the hip. We love this style from Alyce Designs After Five collection. The ruched skirt creates a sassy puff-ball effect and the bejewelled waistline adds detail.
Emily teams her striking red prom dress with nude accessories to create a really romantic feel. Her porcelain skin and short auburn hair make for a pretty, pixie-like appearance, enhanced by soft peachy shades of eye shadow and blusher, finished with a slick of pink lip gloss. This palette from GOSH in Melting Pale contains a nude and a light brown shadow – perfect for blending over lids to give depth to narrow eyes.
The Sucker Punch actress pulls off her short, choppy cut, using a texturising spray like Short Sexy Hair – Piece Out. Going short can seem like a daunting prospect for girls with long luscious locks, but can look amazingly feminine with a fine bone structure and slim features. It’s best not to experiment with a drastic new hair cut right before prom, but you can always work up to it.
Emily’s sequin bag adds a little Hollywood sparkle to her outfit, but with Royal Wedding patriotism still in the air, we picked out this stunning Union Jack clutch from Accessorize for a little Rule Britannia!
