The Hottest Prom Dress Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2026
If you’re heading to prom in 2026, get ready… because prom dress trends are seriously next-level this year. Whether you’re dreaming of a Cinderella-style ballgown or something sleek and modern, there’s a look for every style and personality at Blush Studio.
Our team has just returned from the 2026 Prom Shows at Harrogate Convention Centre, where every major prom supplier in the UK showcased their brand-new collections. Thousands of dresses, catwalks running all day, and exclusive behind-the-scenes previews — we were in prom heaven.
“Harrogate is honestly one of the most exciting times of the year for us,” says Eleanor, our Blush Boss and supplier relations queen. “We get treated like royalty by the brands, watch show after show, and pick out the very best for our Blush girls. It’s where the magic starts!” And let’s just say — Prom 2026 is our best collection yet. We can’t wait to show you everything at our Open Walk-In Weekend on 11th & 12th October".
Following our amazing trip to the Harrogate Prom Shows, we couldn’t wait to share what’s coming for Prom 2026. So here’s your Official Blush Studio Trend Rundown for Prom 2026 – from the colours you’ll be seeing everywhere to the must-have details and silhouettes. This is your inside scoop before the dresses even hit the shop floor!
What styles are hot for 2026…
Figure-Hugging Corsets
Corset bodices are huge this year — think snatched waists, lace-up backs, and that perfectly sculpted silhouette. Blush Studio’s corset prom dresses come in both slim-fit satin and full-skirt ballgown styles, giving you the ultimate choice.
“We love how adjustable lace-up backs are,” says Isabella, our shop-floor manager. “It means you get the perfect fit every time and that little bit of drama when you turn around!”
Big Ballgowns
Ruffles & Sparkle - The princess look is back, and we are here for it. Tiered ruffles, layered skirts, and ultra-sparkly bodices are giving main-character energy this season. We’ve even got hoops to buy or hire so you can get that perfect Cinderella silhouette.

Bow Detail 🎀
If you love bows, you’re in luck. Prom 2026 is the year of the bow — oversized satin bows, detachable bow trains, and sweet little back details are everywhere. Look out for new arrivals with bows in every size, colour and style at Blush Studio.
Ultra Glam Hollywood Vibes
This one’s for the girls who want a full red-carpet moment. Head-to-toe sparkle gowns, high-slits, open backs, and bold metallics are taking centre stage. Our new arrivals include sequin fishtails, feather trim gowns, and extra glam mermaid silhouettes.
What colours are hot for 2026…
Berry Tones
Colour is having a big moment — and Prom 2026 is bringing bold, fresh shades to the dance floor. Teneale, Our Finance & Strategy Director predicts Berry is going to be THE colour of the season! “Berry is going to be the colour to watch,” Teneale says. “It’s dramatic, flattering on every skin tone, and feels so luxe. Our berry ballgowns are already flying out on pre-order!”

Silver Comeback
Silver is making a comeback - thank you Molly-Mae at the NTAs 2025!. Expect to see shimmering silver satins, glitzy slimfits and ballgowns that feel red-carpet ready.
Isabella says, "Although silver is a new trend we will see it getting more and more popular going into prom 2027, so if you want to stay ahead of the trends, then silver is the colour for you! If it's good enough for Molly Mae - Its good enough for our Prom girls!"
