NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Macy's (NYSE:M) is helping every girl reign supreme as the prom style queen with a breathtaking assortment of dresses and accessories. With styles that range from fairytale princess to Old Hollywood glamour to cool girl edgy, Macy’s has all the latest trends to make girls stun on the big night. By partnering with Operation PROM, Macy’s is helping to ensure all girls look and feel special on prom night through the “Buy 1, We’ll Donate 1” program. For each prom dress purchased on March 26, Macy's will donate a brand new dress* to Operation PROM to help girls in need sparkle on prom night.
“Prom night is a night girls dream about,” said Stephanie Muehlhausen, vice president/fashion director of ready-to-wear and millennial, Macy’s. “With our selection of gorgeous dresses and accessories, we want to make sure girls look and feel as extraordinary as they’ve dreamed. We’re also very proud to partner with Operation PROM to help make that dream come true for girls in need as well.”
Magnificent Dresses
Runway-inspired dresses, shoes, bags and jewelry turn up the volume on dance floor-ready prom looks. Channeling the red-hot 70s trend, sleek halter-neck dresses rendered in vibrant colors and metallics let girls channel their inner Bianca Jagger. Stark black-and-white dresses are perfect for the girl with the mod flare, while ethereal strapless dresses with delicate lace and embroidery embody regal elegance. Flirtatious openings and sheer stratums of chiffon reveal a chic focus on skin, and cutout details and geometric illusion patterns on column gowns are strikingly contemporary.
Delightful Accessories
Polishing off a dazzling prom look are equally dazzling accessories. Two-piece ankle strap sandals are de rigueur and complement sleek looks, while chunky platform sandals in graphic prints are stellar punctuation points for dresses minimalist in design. Caged shooties are daring and attention-grabbing, and pointy-toed d’orsay pumps with a bow on the toe are perfectly prim for ladylike looks. Lucite box clutches, embellished minaudieres and striped envelope clutches are fabulous ways to carry phones and prom night essentials. Pile on the bling with gemstone-encrusted bib necklaces, 90s-chic chokers, modern cuffs and exquisite earrings, from demure studs to fierce ear cuffs to jaw-dropping chandelier earrings.
