How to Look Like a Princess at Prom
High school prom is one the key moments in a young woman's life, where she dresses up in a long dress to dance the night away with her black tied date. According to "Time Magazine," the prom started as a co-ed banquet following one's university graduation during the 18th century. By the 1940s, the prom was held for high school seniors. For many girls, it is a dream to look like a princess at prom. Many women do not have that many opportunities to wear formal gowns besides their wedding, so they need to make the most of their prom.

Choose a classic dress for a princess look. Choose a ball gown for your prom dress. A ball gown is the traditional full skirted and floor length dress, which is the classic princess evening wear. Choose your favorite color. Bright colors stand out in the crowd.

2
Wear long white gloves with your ball gown. Long gloves are usually reserved for white tie events, or the most formal events. Wear your gloves the entire time at your prom except when eating and drinking.

Wear sparkly shoes to the prom. You are wearing a long dress, but your shoes will peak out as you walk or dance. Choose sparkly shoes that a princess would wear. Like Cinderella, you need shoes that fit well for dancing. Stay with a heel no more than 2 inches tall and decorated with sequins or rhinestones.

Wear a tiara with your hair up. Have a friend help you create an updo for the prom or go to a salon for professional styling. Bring your tiara so the hair stylist can work around it. Choose a tiara that is sparkly without being too large. If it is too big, you look like the queen. A tiara with pearls and small rhinestones would work well for a princess look.

Wear a rhinestone necklace as your main jewelry. Then wear matching earrings for your princess prom look. Wear makeup that is classic and not too heavy. Pink blush and lipstick is a must and use black liquid eyeliner across your top eyelash line. Glue on false eyelashes to make your eyes look larger.
