In the pageant world, there are few colors that have a similar effect on the audience as purple. Purple pageant dresses evoke images of royalty, and they’re perfect for a girl who wants to stand out on stage. Whether you choose a light lavender dress with lace or a dark purple prom gown with sequins, you’ll be a head-turning beauty that will leave everyone talking.
If you prefer a more delicate look, opt for a light lavender prom dress with lace accents or a simple chiffon prom dress that’s embellished with small beads and embroidery. You can also add a touch of sparkle with rhinestone earrings, a rhinestone bracelet cuff or an embellished hair clip that coordinates with your dress’s color. If you opt for a strapless dress, consider a pretty updo like a sleek high bun or a loose chignon with soft tendrils. For a dashing contrast, black accessories will provide a beautiful counterpoint to your prom dress – think a black velvet clutch or onyx earrings.
For the girls who want a bit of drama, try a sexy deep purple satin dress or a long wild orchid purple dress with intricate cutouts and a high slit. You can also make a statement in a long purple lace prom dress with scalloped neckline or a beaded halter dress with a mesh collar.
No matter what shade you choose, a purple prom dress will make you feel like royalty on your big night. Complete your look with brushed gold jewelry and a silver box clutch that will emphasize the glittery details of your dress. Opt for black heels that will add a sophisticated contrast to the regal hue and ensure you’re the star of the show.
