Prom is among the potentially absurd and possibly the most dramatic event in a person’s life; hence it makes sense that some movies, includes TV shows, tend to weave it into a plot or even an episode. Over time, Hollywood has undeniably led many people to believe that prom is all about romantic gestures and a finale of the teenage experience. However, this isn’t what prom is all about; it’s also about the dresses. 

Remarkably, many girls put in quite a lot of effort and time into preparing for their proms. A gorgeous evening gown guaranteed to turn heads remains one of the major recipes of the party. The girls featured in this article have creatively designed unusual choices of dresses. We’re thrilled upon stumbling upon and couldn’t resist sharing them with you. So we’ve collated a few that are downright worthy of being remembered for a lifetime. Enjoy!
