I was watching an exclusive performance and interview with Katy Perry on cosmogirl.com this week — it reminded me that Katy Perry is a perfect style icon for prom, especially if you favor shorter dresses.
On MyPromStyle.com, I created a slideshow of Katy’s best dresses for you to browse for ideas. Don’t worry, I left out her crazy ice cream dress, owl eyes dress, and carousel dress — fab as they were on the red carpet, not so good for prom! My favorite dress is this one on the left, which she wore to an InTouch party. It reminds me of something Betsey Johnson, my favorite designer, would create.
What do you think of Katy’s exclusive online song “Brick by Brick”? Listen to it as you browse for dresses online in our Dress Finder!

Do you love reading your horoscope? If so, then you definitely have to check out your prom night destiny on MyPromStyle.com.
Even though I’m not hardcore into astrology — I’m still not entirely sure what being a Sagittarius means – I was still curious to know what my sign predicted about my prom style. (Yes, I go to prom too! The Ultimate Prom in New York City, in fact, for our annual video series premiering again in March.)
My prom horoscope ended up sounding pretty true so far! It said my style was “sparkly” and the dress I think I’m going to wear to prom this June does have sequins on it. It said I have a spirited mood — I would agree!
Check out your prom horoscope here — does it ring true for you?

Wondering what it is for Spring 2009, season of your prom? According to super serious research - yes, people actually study this at a center called the Pantone Color Institute! - the color is Palace Blue. Blues and purples will be hot in general, Pantone predicts, and we’ll also see vibrant greens, fuchsias, and yellows to complement them. Have you thought about a blue dress? It is a Cinderella classic, and you can make it fun for prom. Just search the dresses on MyPromStyle.com for ideas, like I did.
Palace Blue: fyi
It’s similar to cornflower blue, like this.
I’d go a shade brighter — the effect will be a little less bridesmaid, a little more prom queen. Search the Dress Finder on MyPromStyle.com for a full range, but here’s a steal and a splurge I found.
STEAL: $150, at JCPenney — found this one in our $150 and Less Prom Dresses flipbook!
SPLURGE: approx $300, by Aidan Mattox - found in MyPromStyle.com’s Dress Finder.
To accessorize with this color, try dramatic crystal chandelier earrings, silver shoes, and a pink clutch that pops — with pink lips to match, of course. (Try the CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain — it’s super easy to apply, like coloring your lips with a marker.) For a clutch, try this one from Forever 21 — a bargain at $12.50.
Have you narrowed your prom dress down to a color yet?
