If pink taffeta isn't really your thing, it can be tough to find the styles you like during prom season. Luckily, there are plenty of dresses out there suited for the edgier gals, so you don't have to sacrifice your personal aesthetic to look hot on prom night.
When looking for a "rock star" style prom dress, just keep in mind a couple of key points. Dark colors tend to have more of a funky vibe, as do bold, geometric prints. On the whole, short dresses are trendier and have more of a "cool" look than long ones -- not that the right floor-length gown can't help you pull off your desired look, too.
Check out the options below to find the right rock star prom dress for your big night. The dresses below can all be found on Macys.com, but other retailers carry similar brands and items.
