🖤Why Black is STILL the Colour for Prom 2026🖤
Let’s be real — not everyone dreams of turning up to prom in a sparkly princess ballgown dripping with sequins. And honestly? That’s totally fine. Prom fashion is all about you and finding a look that matches your vibe. This year, there’s one colour that’s absolutely taking over: BLACK.
At Blush Studio, we’ve noticed a huge shift — we’re selling more black prom dresses than ever before, and it’s easy to see why. Black isn’t just a colour; it’s a whole mood. Whether you want to serve drama, elegance, or something totally alternative, a black dress will have your back (literally)
Why black is trending for prom 2026 ✨
It’s glamorous & dramatic – think red carpet vibes, not just prom night.
Timeless & wearable – unlike that neon shade you might regret, black never goes out of style.
Perfect for the not-so-girly-girl – if pink and glitter aren’t your thing, black is your power move.
Edgy & alternative – ideal if you want a look that’s different from the rest of your year group. Celebs on the red carpet have already brought black back in a big way. From lace detailing to oversized bows and dramatic layers, this trend is about turning heads while keeping things effortlessly chic.
