It’s a sad month for high school seniors who have spent years looking forward to their high school proms. Rather than sit around and mope about how they didn’t get the proper farewell to their high school years, high school seniors have gotten resourceful and started hosting virtual proms with their friends and classmates.
Though many young ladies are sequestered in their homes with virtual home-schooling, some young ladies are getting prom dresses for virtual prom parties. Most states have begun partial re-openings, but larger gatherings, such as prom, still aren’t permitted. For those of you with virtual proms planned, Fashion Reverie has curated some great prom dresses for you.
And something special is these uncertain times, on Saturday May 16, Teen Vogue will be hosting a virtual prom. Leading up to this historic event, Teen Vogue will be helping you prep for their virtual prom by featuring daily prom-centric content of DIY tips, styling tips, makeup tutorials, and dance prep. Teen Vogue’s special guest on May 16 include Becky G, Stormy Reid, Ava Max, Lily Collins, Madeleine Petsch, Chloe x Hallie, JoJo, and more. The evening will also include DJ sets, interactive choreography, and custom thematic backdrops.
