Trends to Watch
Kimberly Gambale, owner of Diane & Co., the 40-year-old Freehold, NJ boutique famous for its role in the hit show Jersey Couture, shares cant-miss trends for this prom.
• Colors: Gowns in red, white, black and nude are big.
• Embellishments: Sparkle is at a restrained level this year—look for sleek lines and understated beading instead.
• Silhouettes and hemlines: High-low hemlines are phasing out while crop top and classic mermaid-style gowns continue to be huge. Look for ball gowns to play an increasingly big role at this year’s prom.
