Pretty In Pink For Prom
The Perfect and Popular Colour Choice For Prom 2026
The Perfect and Popular Colour Choice For Prom 2026
Choosing your prom dress for Prom 2026 can feel like a daunting process. However, hair and make up choices plus accessories, all generally fall into place once the biggest decision of selecting the dress has been made. Selecting the colour is the biggest challenge of all, but in just a few weeks since Prom 2026 has started, a clear colour trend has emerged with pink as the front runner.
METALLIC JAQUARDS IN PASTEL SHADES
A popular and feminine choice so far is a jacquard fabric ball gown in pastel pink tones. These styles are sometimes shot through with a pale gold or rose gold soft contrast. Our Hannah dress with her cutesy butterfly print in a metallic jacquard fabric and with an A line Ballgown skirt is the perfect example of a pretty in pink prom choice for 2026. If butterfly designs are not your thing, then our Drew dress with her stunning full ballgown skirt and bow detail in the softest of pale pink shades is the one that so many girls have already fallen for.
BABY PINK ALL THE WAY
Probably by far the most popular choice under the pink umbrella is baby pink or pastel pink as it is sometimes called. This classic and softest of all the pink choices includes all shades on the spectrum from ballet slipper to candy floss. A great choice on Blondes and Brunettes alike, this colour shade is often better with a slightly darker skin tone, so if you are fair and this is your shade of choice, you may want to head to the fake tanning options as part of your prom prep!
SHERBERT AND BEYOND
If pale pink is just too light for your skin tone or taste, then a mid-pink tone dress could still work well and appeal. From Sherbet lace top ballgowns like our Keeley dress to satin Mikado bow front A line gowns like Maeve, the 2026 options are numerous. A point to note with this choice is that a deeper pink tone gown will often work well with gold accessories, in contrast to her paler pink sisters who tend to compliment silver tones in jewellery and bags. A great shade of pink lips will really set off the final look. Fake tan prep optional!
UNEXPECTED PASTEL PINK TIGHT FITS
Whilst pink ballgown options in all shades are charging ahead as a top 2026 Prom Pick, over the last year the rise of the pale pink satin tight fit has been gathering popularity. Choose from our applique lace top Giselle stretch satin tight fit gown with a popular lace up back, or our hot fix stud corset top Ariana dress a best selling style for 2025 now being offered in the prettiest of pale pink shades for Prom 2026. If a tight fit pale pink dress feels a bit daunting but ballgowns are not your style, then a mid way option could be our chiffon tiered Alice dress. Featuring a corset bodice in the softest shade of pink but with a floaty tiered chiffon skirt, this gown is already a best seller and will be a top Pretty in Pink Prom 2026 pick.
