How to Style Your Purple Prom Dress
When styling your purple dress, balance is the key word. You want to ensure cohesion across your accessories, makeup, and hair, to enhance the mood of your gown, without overshadowing it.
The right choices elevate your look, and boost your confidence for an unforgettable night.
Accessories and jewelry
Metallics complement purple perfectly. Silver necklaces with a lilac dress create a soft, romantic glow. Gold with a royal purple dress presents rich sophistication, and rose gold with lavender or light purple offers a feminine, modern twist.
When choosing jewelry, look to match the gown’s vibe, delicate and minimal suit lilac and lavender, while bold statement pieces work with darker tones like deep purple, and plum—matching their drama.
Shoes and handbags
Neutral tones like nude, black, or silver elevate your dress, but don’t distract from it as the main event. These colors also act to elongate your silhouette. For a bolder effect, metallic heels, or contrasting tones like emerald, and sapphire help create a standout look.
A clutch, or small handbag, should be minimal, like a sleek metallic clutch, or a neutral piece to help tie the different elements of your outfit together.
Makeup and hairstyles
Pair your makeup with your dress shade. Soft glam works with light purples, dramatic eyes or lips go with darker hues.
Darker shades call for more dramatic looks; smoky eyes, winged eyeliner, and bold lips.
Make sure your hairstyle matches the mood, an elegant updo enhances the sophistication of your dress, while loose curls add movement and romance.
Looking at the bigger picture, whether you’re going for playful chic, classic elegance, or a modern edge, your styling choices elevate your look, and reflect your personality. With everything working in harmony—color, cut, and accessories, you won’t just be wearing a prom gown, you’ll be creating prom night memories.
