We know the prom look. The tulle, the gowns, it’s all very traditional. There’s nothing wrong with a classic prom dress in your favorite color, but what if you went for something different? We went hunting for prom looks that are as modern as they are eye-catching in Urban Outfitters’ dress catalog. Skater-chic, cottagecore, Euphoria-inspired, and of course, shimmering prom looks await. Check them out!

An Electric Look

This mini dress has a pattern that you can’t look away from and with the dim lighting of a prom setting, it will be an even more mesmerizing. This dressed-up version of the mesh shirts we’re all loving right now would be a perfect match for a pair of bold shoes.
