Help from Hollywood

This year's prom style has been influenced not only by last year's Do's and Don'ts but also by celebrity design and influence. Some of your favorite A-lister's have made a big impact on prom-style in 2012 and we're here to help you find your perfect celebrity match.

Let's start with the top trend setters that have made the envy-list. It's not surprising that several celebrities from the hit show 'Glee' have made the top of the list. Let's begin with Lea Michele better known as Rachel Berry. This Glee superstar has been the top red-carpet hottie since last season. Her choice of classic-chic red carpet garb has labeled her the number one 'go-to' for prom inspirations. Her most recent appearance at the Emmys struck gold. She showed up wearing a red, floor length Marchesa. The most stunning feature of this dress was the revealing scooped back and rosette detailing on the shoulders. Top stylists say that brunettes look more glamorous in bright red fabrics. So make your color choices carefully.

Next on the Glee roster is Amber Riley. She also shared a prom inspiring look on her last red carpet appearance at the Emmy awards. Her voluptuous curves were accentuated perfectly in this lavender-hued Ghadah Paris gown. The dress' rouched bodice provided a slimming effect while the embellished shoulder design brought attention to her neck and shoulder line. Her stylist made sure not to over-do the accessories which would draw attention away from the gowns detailing. She sported a simple pair of stud earrings and a chunky ring. Dresses with rouched fabric can bring a pleasant definition to your curves.

What's Your Style?

If you're into metallic chic then Selena Gomez's last red carpet look is for you. Selena rocked the AMA's in a stunning silver Armani gown. The metallic look is huge this year and now we know why. This dress showed off the shoulders with a halter neckline and a revealing scoop back. With a thigh-high front-slit and a touch of hemline fringe this gown gave off an 'old Hollywood' effect. This type of gown is perfect for girls with lean legs. The front slit paired with a flowing train adds length and definition to slimmer legs.

Lastly, we turn our attention to an underdog. Abigail Breslin is one of the many stars in the recently released movie 'New Year's Eve' and one of Seventeen magazines 2011 'Style Stars'. Most recently she was photographed at the premiere of “New Year's Eve' in a prom-inspiring Marchesa. The star of 'Little Miss Sunshine' took everyone's breath away with this flirty, sassy Marchesa dress. The tulle corset dress had a fairy-like appeal. The use of thin, wispy fabric, paired with a hoop skirt design, added definition to her small waistline. Intricate bodice detailing brought delicacy to a simple yet stunning dress. A dress that is made with a skirt-hoop is perfect for girls with slender waistlines. It can add a defining point to long, slender figures. It is the perfect look for girls who need more emphasis at the hips.
