Aries (March 21-April 19): Big Red Energy
Girl, you know you want to stand out on prom night. And any Aries knows she looks best dressed-up in fiery red, paying homage to her fire sign. Slip on a pretty crimson dress and let that big red energy force all eyes on you. Push it even further with a red lip, you'll be the star of the night, promise!
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Super Luxe
Taurus gals love luxury, and is there any night to be your most extra self other than prom? Drip yourself in diamonds, pick a dress with fancy textures and fixings like lace, sequins or velvet, and wear your strappiest satin shoes—you'll be the belle of the ball.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Flirty and Fun
Geminis are innately social and fun, so you need a prom aesthetic that matches your personality. You're sure to make the rounds talking to all the cuties you've had your eye on, so wear something flirty and fun, approachable and not too over the top. Perhaps you sport a two-piece set, or even a minidress—and make sure you bring your dancing shoes!
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Romantic
Cancer babes love a little romance–heck, they love romance. So do yourself a solid and channel something soft and romantic fit for Juliet searching for her Romeo. Soft flowing silks, midi lengths and flowers in your hair should do the trick.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Old Hollywood Glam
Take some time off of prepping for your Prom Queen speech and get yourself a look that's ready to take home the crown. Is there any prom style that pairs better with a tiara than Old Hollywood Glam? Cue the dramatic side-swept waves, a classic strapless gown and loads of jewels. Want to be even more extra? Add some satin gloves, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): '90s Vibes
You've been so busy slaving away over college applications and homework to even think about your prom aesthetic, so here's an easy one for you: '90s vibes. Think Kate Moss or Cher in Clueless—a simple square neck dress, classic strap heels and a tousled updo.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22): Sultry
Libra gals are known for crushing hard, so chances are, if you're not already taken, you've got your eye set on a cutie. Make sure you get noticed by dialing up the flames in a body con dress that shows off your curves.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Classic Black Audrey Hepburn
Keep your mysterious side in drive by wearing your favorite color, black. But make it fresh by channeling classic Audrey Hepburn. Choose a midi-length dress with a slightly fuller skirt, and go for simple makeup and gorgeous jewels, too.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Wild Child
Let's be honest, you're more focused on what you're doing and who you're hanging out with after prom than the actual dance, itself! You're always on the go and your prom aesthetic should echo your spontaneous nature. Why not reach for something animal print—leopard, cheetah, zebra… anything is fair game!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Minimal
You've been working hard and it's time to have fun and let loose! For your prom night look, you'll want something that's comfortable and functional so you can get down on the dance floor. There's something very classic and chic with a minimal look, and if anyone can pull it off, it's you!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Vintage
Aquarius babes are quiet and shy, but their sense of style and creativity is anything but! You love one-of-a-kind pieces that showcase your endless imagination, and prom should be no exception! Grab your mom or your sister and head to your local thrift store to source out a one-of-a-kind look.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Artsy Babe
Just because it's evening-wear doesn't mean it has to be cookie cutter. You want anything but the basic prom dress, and it's easy to see why. You're super expressive and creative, and want something that fits the bill. Dramatic bell sleeves, a plunging neckline or intricate beading sounds right up your alley.
Speaking of style, HERE's the fashion brand you should be wearing, based on your zodiac sign.
