Five on-trend bachelorette outfits for the bride

Whether you’re going away for the weekend or having a fancy night out with your gals, these short and long bachelorette bride outfits will make sure you’re a glowing bride-to-be from head to toe. Let’s take a look at our five favorite GLS Collective looks, shall we?

1. Mesh babydoll dress with a short cape

Looking for a short white bachelorette outfit? White, the traditional bridal color, is always a trendy choice. Everyone will know it’s your bachelorette!

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of sexy and cute, this white bachelorette dress was made for you.

The short length lets you show off your legs, so don’t forget to find the perfect set of heels to match. Something sparkly, or nude, is a great choice (Nude pumps will elongate your legs, which is a great hack for short girlies!). The deep V neckline also dials up the heat, but the flower applique balances the look. This combination brings a feminine, romantic vibe to your look.

One of our favorite details is the short mesh cape. It creates the illusion of a veil! It’s super lightweight, so you won’t get hot. It’s a great pick if you’re out in the sun or dancing the night away.

2. Strapless lace babydoll dress with jewels

Strapless dresses are very trendy right now—and strapless bachelorette bride dresses are no exception. Worried you won’t feel secure in a strapless dress? You’re in luck. This dress has a tight structured bodice so you can capture this trend without feeling uncomfortable.

We love that its lace fabric gives a traditional bridal feel, while the silhouette and color bring some excitement—and isn’t that what you want for your bachelorette bride outfit? The short, flowy babydoll silhouette is perfect for dancing and the sleek navy color will make for a bold entrance.

The jeweled bodice also brings the sparkle that we all want in our bachelorette bride outfit, without being over the top. But if you want extra glitz and glam, don’t hesitate to rock some accessories.

3. Mesh babydoll dress with sheer corset bodice

This short mesh babydoll dress is one of our most popular bachelorette bride outfits. Why? It’s so delicate and feminine. Who said you have to go for the fierce look for your bachelorette party? It can be the perfect time to lean into your girly side, too!

First, let’s talk about the bodice. The floral applique is so whimsical and also creates a unique 3D effect. The off-the-shoulder sleeves and sweetheart neckline are very romantic, which is very fitting for a bride-to-be—you’re celebrating love, after all!

When it comes to bachelorette bride outfits, champagne is becoming a mainstay color. It naturally gives off a celebratory feel. Pop the champagne, ladies!

Of course, at your bachelorette party, you’ll want to look and feel your best. The corset, paired with a babydoll silhouette, will enhance your hourglass shape and create a slimming effect.

4. Asymmetrical bodycon sequin dress

Looking for bachelorette bride outfits that are perfect for a luxe night out on the town? This fuchsia number has your name on it! It’s ideal if you’re going out for a fancy dinner and drinks or dancing.

Fuchsia is a hot color this season—or any shade of pink, really. But we love this eye-catching hue. It gives off the vibe that you’re there to have a good time and celebrate with your favorites.

Its silhouette and embellishments will also make sure you make an entrance. Bodycon dresses hug your curves and show off your figure. The sequins create a unique texture that will catch the light and make you shine. Plus, the feathers add a playful touch that’s fitting for any bachelorette!

With your dancing feet on full display, don’t forget a fab pair of heels to complete this look!

5. Two-piece chiffon dress with floral embroidery

Two-piece long dresses are very popular among brides. They give off a bit of a formal vibe because of the length, but they can still be flirty and fun.

This long two-piece bachelorette dress is perfect for daytime events like brunches, tea parties and picnics, winery tours, and more. We recommend this neon green shade because neon colors are in right now. However, this style also has a white option, if you’re looking for a classic white bachelorette dress.

Lastly, we always like to show at least one A-line dress to our brides-to-be. This silhouette is flattering on all body types. In this case, the embroidery also lines the waist, drawing attention to your hourglass shape. Hello, gorgeous curves!

SEVEN PROM DRESSES INSPIRED BY BEYONCE’S ICONIC LOOKS

Is Beyonce your style muse for prom? Love it! Queen B’s fashion choices are always amazing. She’s so good at toeing the line between edgy and feminine.

If you’re looking for a Beyonce inspired prom dress, we already know that you love to stand out and take fashion risks. But narrowing down your options can still be hard. So we’re pulling seven Beyonce-inspired prom dresses based on Beyonce’s best fashion moments for you to check out.

Make An Entrance With These Beyonce Prom Dresses

If Sasha Fierce herself saw you in any of these Beyonce-inspired prom dresses, she’d be so proud! Let’s take a look, shall we?

1. Beyonce at the Met Gala

Several of Beyonce’s Met Gala looks consist of this classic color combo: black and gold. We don’t blame her. Together, they create a stunning, luxe look. Beyonce dresses for prom should also be ultra-glam. When else can you go all out?

This dress features a mermaid silhouette and sweetheart neckline a style that Beyonce loves to wear. Why? It shows off a woman’s hourglass shape. (Marilyn Monroe was also a fan!) To recreate her dress, we recommend thin or no straps. 

Don’t be afraid to accessorize with some bold earrings or necklaces. Beyonce always takes risks with her accessories, especially for the Met Gala.

2. Beyonce at the 2019 Lion King premiere

Beyonce loves to wear different shades of yellow and gold. We know why: these colors look amazing against her skin tone.

One of our favorite golden Beyonce looks is her dress at the London Lion King premiere in 2019. This Beyonce prom dress totally reminds us of that iconic style moment. 

Like the original dress, this Beyonce dress has criss-cross pleats across the waist, which emphasizes a tiny waist. It also has off-the-shoulder sleeves, which create the same effortlessly glam vibe.

Keep your hair down (sleek and straight) to recreate the full look.

3. Beyonce at the 2017 Grammy Awards

Beyonce also looks amazing in red — it captures her fiery personality.

If you also give off red-hot energy, this Beyonce prom dress was made for you. Like her 2017 Grammys look, this mermaid dress is skin-tight and covered in eye-catching sequins. 

It also has a plunging v-neckline, like the original red carpet look. Beyonce decorated her collarbone with a luxe diamond lariat necklace. We recommend rocking a statement necklace, too!

Queen B added hair extensions for her Grammys look and kept it jet straight. How will you style yours?

4. Beyonce at the 2018 City of Hope gala

Performing at the City of Hope gala in 2018, Beyonce looked like an absolute angel! If that ensemble made you swoon, you’ll love this Beyonce prom dress. 

Just like her original look, this dress is rose gold and offers a body-hugging mermaid silhouette with sequins and feathers. While feathers are super unique, Beyonce is known to decorate her outfits with them. (Yes, she’s always setting trends!)

Beyonce crimped her hair and rocked studded pumps to complete this gorgeous outfit. The ‘90s crimped hair is still in, so we totally recommend it for your look, too!

5. Beyonce at the 2006 Dreamgirls premiere

Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Yes, Beyonce has been a style icon for years and there are some looks we’ll never forget—like the ruffled blue dress she wore to the 2006 Dreamgirls premiere

Typically, Beyonce goes for an edgier vibe. This whimsical look is very different, which keeps fashion critics and her fans on their toes. If your style is soft and carefree, we recommend a Beyonce prom dress like this.

Like the original outfit, this tiffany blue gown is about its ruffled skirt. This Beyonce dress also offers an A-line silhouette. A-line dresses with full, voluminous skirts are super flattering because they draw attention to the smallest part of your body: your waist.

For the Dreamgirls premiere, Beyonce didn’t shy away from blue eyeshadow. Do you dare to recreate her makeup, too?

6. Beyonce at the 2022 Oscar Awards

We all know that Beyonce loves a neon yellow or green moment. We’ve seen her rock these bright colors at the Oscars, Grammys, and even her most recent Renaissance Tour.

If you love to rock bold, bright colors, this neon yellow Beyonce-inspired prom dress is all yours. Paired with a high slit in the skirt? Va-va-voom! You’re bound to turn heads in this gown.

Beyonce also loves to mix and match textures — and this dress definitely does that. You’ll find velvet underneath these head-to-toe sequins, which create a unique look and feel. Beyonce would love this dress.

Can we get enough golden moments from Beyonce? Of course not! This last Beyonce prom dress is inspired by her iconic performance at the 2017 Grammys. Her ensemble included a long-sleeve embellished dress, a sun-inspired headpiece, and a gold cuff necklace. 

She looked like a goddess—and you can, too, in this Beyonce prom dress. This full sequin dress has cape sleeves, a deep-v neckline, and a slinky mermaid silhouette. The built-in belt ensures your waist won’t get lost in its luxurious, drapey fabric.

While you may not choose to accessorize with a dramatic headpiece, we recommend bold, chunky jewelry to achieve a similar look.

HOW MUCH DOES THE AVERAGE PROM DRESS COST?

As prom dress experts, we hear these questions all the time: How much is the average prom dress?

When shopping for a dress, this is a very important question to ask because it helps you prepare a budget. But we’ll let you in on a secret: there’s really no one answer. In reality, you can find an array of beautiful prom dress options no matter your budget.

But to help you get a sense of prom dress prices and narrow your options, here are six prom dresses under three different price brackets.

Average Prom Dress Cost: Dress Options for All Budgets

Our goal at GLS Collective is to offer luxury dresses at affordable prices. All of these prom dresses are under $500. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Prom dresses under $250

Slay without breaking the bank with these dresses:

This Asymmetrical sequin mermaid dress

The average price of a prom dress totally varies—but it’s very easy to find gorgeous gowns for under $250.

The average prom dress cost for this dazzling gown is also under $250. We know—it’s hard to believe. The metallic embellishments totally make it look more expensive, don’t they?

As you can see, you don’t need to spend a ton of money to create a luxe look. We recommend looking for prom dresses with silver or gold embellishments, like sequins and glitter, to dial up the luxury.

Black is the perfect backdrop for metallic embellishments. It really makes them pop! We recommend embracing this glamorous vibe and accessorizing with a sparkling pair of earrings or lariat necklace.

The mesh fabric is covered in glitter, so you’ll shimmer under the evening lights. There’s so much to appreciate here—and yet it’s still such an affordable price! To complete this look, our experts recommend styling your hair in soft waves.

When asked how much the average prom dress is at GLS Collective, our answer is that you can find many options and styles for a few hundred dollars. But of course, some are priced lower and some higher.

This gorgeous silver mermaid dress is under $350 as well, but the head-to-toe sequins make it look much more expensive. The detachable waist drape also helps create an upscale vibe.

Plus, we love the strappy bodice. It’ll make you feel more secure, all while making a bold fashion statement (we always love a 2-for-1 deal!).

How should you style this dress? We recommend eye-catching silver shoes and jewelry. Embrace the sparkle, ladies!

The sunshine yellow color, paired with the embellishments, is totally giving sun goddess, don’t you think? We recommend finishing your look with bronzer and highlighter to create a sun-kissed effect.

This is exactly what the 1920s party outfits were all about! Women loved rocking dresses covered in sequins, jewels, and beads, especially in patterns similar to this one. At the bottom of the dress, the embellishments also mimic the look of fringe—a staple during this period (Hello, flapper dresses!).

To style this dress, we recommend long gloves or a jeweled headband.

2. ‘50s Party Outfit Idea

If you Google decade party outfit ideas for the 1950s, you’ll see that women’s fashion was all about defining the waistline. Whether it was through a voluminous poodle skirt or body-hugging pencil skirt, ladies loved showing off their hourglass shape. Hey, we don’t blame ‘em!

This decade party outfit idea does just that—but offers a modern twist.

Poodle skirts were often paired with a modest top, like a collared shirt. This beaded collar here is an elevated take on these simple staples. Isn’t it cute?

The tulle skirt also provides volume to accentuate a small waist. Bonus points? Full, layered skirts are a blast when you hit the dance floor, trust us.

3. ‘60s Party Outfit Idea

In the 1960s, waist-defining dresses were still on the menu. But there were subtle differences between the decades. If you’re looking for decade party outfit ideas that’ll nail these differences and create an accurate ‘60s look, this two-piece dress is it!

Get the look: GS1439 Two-Piece Embroidered Pencil Skirt Dress

Here’s why. First, the bottom of this two-piece dress is a pencil skirt. Its job is to hug your curves and show off the smallest part of your body—your waist.

Boat necks were very popular during the 1960s and this decade party outfit idea covers this major style. And we’ll let you in on a secret: did you know that boat necks are also great for emphasizing an hourglass shape? Try it!

The floral embroidery is another cue that this is an outfit fit for the ‘60s. During this time, people loved rocking patterns—especially florals towards the end of the decade (Cue: the ‘70s flower power!).

4. ‘80s Party Outfit Idea

What’s your inspo for your ‘80s theme outfit? If it’s an ‘80s prom dress, you have to see this look!

This decades party outfit idea is all about bold and bright details. Bright pink color, ruffled skirt, sequins, and jewels—this dress brings all the flashy and the fun. And that’s exactly what you want in an ‘80s party outfit, right?

But if you don’t love fuchsia, any neon shade or bright color will do. Not down with ruffles? Look for other edgy details, like shoulder pads. When it comes to your ‘80s party outfit, you won’t run out of options. 

We also love that this dress brings the glitz and glam because the ‘80s loved shiny materials. For your ‘80s theme outfit, you can also look for a dress made of satin, lamé, or—if you dare—head-to-toe sequins!

5. 2000s Party Outfit Idea

Bright colors, metallic fabrics, body-hugging silhouettes—they’re all you need for a 2000s-themed party. Right now, the ‘90s and 2000s are taking over everyday wear. But with a 2000s party, you’re probably looking for decade party outfit ideas that really lean into classic 2000s styles. No problem, we got you.

Dresses in the 2000s were normally quite form fitting, so mermaid dresses are a great choice. They’ll hug your curves and slightly flare out at the knees, showing off your natural hourglass shape. 

The 2000s also embraced metallic fabrics, so we recommend trying on a lamé dress. It creates a fun, playful look that’s typical of 2000s fashion. Life’s too short for boring clothing! So step out of your comfort zone and choose something loud and fun. A bright color like turquoise? How Y2K of you!

Lastly, ruching was a popular trend in the 2000s and we’re happy to bring it back. Ruching can be used to slim your waistline—and who doesn’t want that?!

P.S. If you’re off to a 2000s party, you’re in luck. We have a whole article dedicated to 2000s outfit ideas here.

Velvet sits underneath the sequins here, creating a very unique texture. It also adds thickness, so if your party is in the evening or in colder months, it’s a great option for hitting the theme while staying warm.

Feathers were a favorite in the 1970s as well—especially detailing sleeve cuffs. They capture the carefree, fun nature of ‘70s fashion and would be perfect for a party atmosphere. 

Want to check off one more ‘70s style? Puff shoulders! They’re making a comeback, today, too. So this ‘70s theme party outfit idea will totally show off your strong pulse on trends.

Here, the iridescent sequins showcase the popular pink and orange combo and we’re all for it. This 70s party outfit idea also features a lace-up back.

If you follow our blog, we’re big fans of floral applique! It creates a unique 3D texture to your dress, which is guaranteed to turn heads. But for a 1970s theme party, it’s even more perfect. Flowers were very popular during this decade—and floral applique will ensure this trend is front and center for your look. 

We also love that this 70s party outfit idea offers comfort. Loose bottoms and skirts were very popular during this time, as women were entering the workforce. Yes, ladies in the 1970s also liked comfortable options! So if comfort is important to you as well, opt for an A-line silhouette. It flows along your hips and legs, which is perfect for dancing the night away.

5. Pink floral mini dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves

If you love the above option for its whimsical vibe, but wish it was shorter, then take a look at this mini dress.

Mini dresses were all the rage during the 1970s. At parties and festivals, women liked to show off their legs. This ‘70s theme party outfit idea offers a shorter hemline, while still creating a “hippie chic” look. 

As you can see, it also has floral details—but instead of applique, they’re highlighted through sequin embellishments. If you love a little shimmer and shine, you’ll adore this take on the ‘70s trend!

Off-the-shoulder sleeves also add to this look’s feminine, carefree vibe. We love that they’re secured by spaghetti straps. No need to adjust your outfit throughout the evening!

90S PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS: SIX LOOKS INSPIRED BY UNFORGETTABLE 90S TRENDS

We absolutely adore theme parties. Any excuse to dress in something out of the ordinary? Sign us up! Theme parties are always a blast. 

But of course, theme parties also put pressure on you to dress the part,  and it can be overwhelming to create the perfect look.

So what theme are we helping you dress for today? Lately, we’ve seen a lot of theme parties inspired by different decades: 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. If you’re off to a 90s-themed party, you’re in luck. We’re showing you six 90s party outfit ideas that will totally impress the host and guests alike.

Nail Your Look with These Five 90s Party Outfit Ideas

Today, we’re showing you six modern takes on classic 90s trends. Some of these 90s party outfit ideas will cover more than one trend! So make sure to check them all out! 

1. Velvet fabric

If your 90s party is happening over fall and winter, then this 90s party outfit idea is just the thing: a velvet bodycon dress. 

Velvet was a staple during this decade and normally worn on special occasions, like a party. (Like we said, just the thing you need!) As you know, this fabric offers a soft, fuzzy texture as well as warmth. It’s the best of both worlds.

Going to a fancy party? Why not rock sequins, too? 90s celebs loved the glitz and glam.

This 90s party outfit idea also features a bodycon silhouette and a cowl neckline—both of which were incredibly popular during the 90s. Yes, this first look offers three-in-one!

2. Satin fabric

For spring and summer events, you should keep your eyes peeled for satin 90s party outfit ideas. This fabric was popular then and is making a huge comeback now—so you’ll find plenty of options!

Satin is a smooth, lustrous fabric that drapes beautifully along your curves. To accentuate your hourglass shape, opt for a mermaid silhouette. A gathered waistline will cinch the waist and further emphasize your gorgeous curves.

This dress is an elevated take on the classic slip dress—a 90s favorite! It’s also offered in jewel tone colors, which were a staple during this time.

3. Bodycon dress

Yes, the bodycon dress was born in the 90s. While they’re still popular today for a night out, they’re also a go-to for 90s parties.

Bodycon dresses are characterized by their stretchy, figure-hugging fabric. They can be short, midi, or long. So you can totally opt for a longer dress if you prefer. This short 90s party outfit idea is an awesome choice if you want to recreate a pop star look. 

Ruby red was a hot hue in the 90s. Bring this fiery color to life with head-to-toe sequins and a red lip.

4. Jewel tones

Following the 80s—a decade full of bright, neon clothing—90s fashion was known for its darker, jewel tone shades. For your 90s party outfit idea, you really can’t go wrong with emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, or ruby red. 

Straight-across necklines were also trending in the 90s, especially when paired with spaghetti straps. We’ve definitely seen this style on Cameron Diaz, Alicia Silverstone, and Drew Barrymore once upon a time.

When you think of the 90s, you may also think: casual. You’re right! There were a lot of windbreakers, jeans, crop tops, and cargo pants during this time. To capture the “casual” trend, opt for a simple fabric, like rome jersey.

5. Halter tops

What’s a list of 90s party outfit ideas without a halter dress? Halter tops were all the rage during this decade. A 90s-themed party is the perfect excuse to rock this classic style. 

Halter dresses look cute, but they also offer a lot of practical bonuses. For one, they create the illusion of an hourglass shape. If you’ve got curves, a halter top will accentuate them beautifully (and offer support too). If you have a straight body type, then it will help you create a more voluptuous silhouette. 

Teal was a popular color in the 90s, especially for fancy dresses. Channel your inner 90s prom or beauty queen with a long A-line teal dress with embellishments!

6. Butterfly clips

If you grew up in the 90s, we bet you had a set of butterfly hair clips that you wore everywhere. We all did! We had to bring back this micro trend for these 90s party outfit ideas.

But before you start taking them out of old boxes from the attic, hold up. We’re not suggesting you wear actual butterfly hair clips (although, you would likely score some high fives at the party for your commitment!) Instead, we recommend capturing this theme through butterfly applique details. It’s a subtle nod to a trend only 90s babies will remember!

To nail this 90s look, style your hair in a high ponytail or half-do.

2000S THEMED PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS THAT BRING BACK THE Y2K VIBE

2000s party outfits were in a league of their own—metallics, vibrant color palettes, body-hugging silhouettes, and lots of glitter (we’re still finding glitter in our old platform shoes—remember those?). It was a decade defined by bold and standout styles, giving women the chance to create memorable style moments wherever they went.

If you’re off to a Y2K-themed party, we have just one request: could we get an invite? No? Okay fine, we’ll sit this one out. But at the very least, let us help you put together 2000s-themed party outfit ideas. 

Today, we’re drawing inspiration from the fashion icons and style moments of the 2000s. Whether you’re looking to channel Paris Hilton’s dazzling ‘fits (we’re still heart-eyed over her silver minidress—you know the one) or JLo’s fearless fashion, we’ve got the perfect Y2K party outfit for you! 

How to Dress Up for a 2000s Theme Party: 6 Outfit Ideas

If you get the chance to step back into this iconic era, we say go all in and have fun! Nail the dress code and party like it’s the 2000s with these Y2K-themed dresses.

1. Fuchsia Mermaid Dress with Sequins

Nothing screams  Y2K fashion quite like a sequin-adorned dress, especially when it’s in such a quintessential 2000s color. Bright hues, like hot pink and fuschia, were all the rage back then, so you really can’t go wrong with this color for your 2000s outfit. Sequins—or any kind of sparkle, really—are also key to giving your party outfit a Y2K flair

Party outfits in the 2000s were often form-fitting, making mermaid dresses a stellar choice. As for necklines, straight-across and halter styles were especially popular during this era. Additionally, flirty criss-cross backs—as seen in this stunning number by Elizabeth K—were mainstays in the party and clubbing scene. 

2. Yellow Satin Sweetheart Dress

As we mentioned, the 2000s were all about bold, eye-catching colors. So any shade—whether it’s as striking as Barbie pink or as delicate as buttercup yellow—will be a fabulous choice for your Y2K party outfit.

This next 2000s-themed party outfit idea not only brings back a popular color, but also a beloved fabric from the era: satin. This luxurious material was stealing hearts everywhere, from formal affairs to red-carpet appearances, and we’re excited to see it making a comeback. 

Satin dresses—especially slip styles—were a hallmark of the decade, and we can see why. They’re so simple yet they make such a statement. With its straight-across neckline—so iconic of the 2000s—and sunshine gold shade, this dress fits right into 2000s lookbooks.

It’s giving Kate Hudson’s iconic dress from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Now all you need is your own Matthew McConaughey to sweep you off your feet.

3. White Iridescent A-Line Gown with Slit

The fashion trends of this decade were all about pushing boundaries and having some fun. So when you step into your Y2K party, you don’t want to blend in—your Y2K party outfit should make you stand out!

We’ve already mentioned that shiny materials and fabrics are an easy way to capture this era’s essence. But if you’re ready to take it up a notch, here’s a 2000s-themed party outfit idea for you: an iridescent dress! 

At first glance, this gown may seem purely white, but as you move, it reveals mesmerizing hints of pink, purple, and blue depending on how the lights hit it. It’s the kind of dress that guarantees you make a lasting impression and makes you want to twirl all night long to showcase its colors.

If you prefer a more relaxed silhouette for your Y2K party outfit, we recommend A-line styles. With their waist-cinching effect, they give you that gorgeous hourglass figure that flatters all body types. (Plus, it gives you extra room to nail all your signature dance moves!)

4. Metallic Blue Mermaid Dress with Lace-Up Back

Our next 2000s-themed party outfit idea will make you look and feel like a Y2K style star. Much like iridescent dresses, metallic creations totally scream 2000s style. And when that metallic dress comes in a striking color like electric blue—a true 2000s favorite—you’ve got the makings of a stunning Y2K party outfit!

With its spaghetti straps—a staple of the era—and sweetheart neckline, this dress adds a playful yet sophisticated touch to your attire. And although ruching may have taken the backseat for a hot minute, the fashion girlies are bringing it back (yay!). This versatile detail not only adds interest to your look, but it’s also pure magic when it comes to smoothing out any trouble spots. Cute and flattering? Sign us up!

2000s fashion is making a comeback, and it’s bringing bedazzled glam right along with it. If you experienced the 2000s, you might remember how we put jewels on everything—jeans, flip phones, you name it. So, here’s a 2000s-themed party outfit idea to channel that vibe in style: a bejeweled babydoll dress.

With its jewel-encrusted bodice, this cocktail dress is sure to make people stop and stare when you walk into the room. The fit-and-flare style accentuates your waist, giving you a gorgeous shape. Meanwhile, its asymmetrical neckline, tulle skirt, and multicolored fabric add a youthful touch while keeping the look refined.

What we adore about babydoll silhouettes is that they’re perfect for a more laid-back Y2K party outfit. You can easily dress them down with sneakers—slip into a pair of Converse, and you’ve got yourself a punk princess moment. Avril Lavigne, is that you?

6. Red Velvet Bodycon Mini Dress with Slit

Be inspired by one of fashion’s—and the 2000s’—most iconic moments: Paris Hilton’s 21st birthday look. But to make it your own, why not do it in a shade that’s as fiery as your personality?

With its cowl neckline and cute length, this dress perfectly channels the charm of Paris’ Y2K party dress while keeping things fresh. The criss-cross back and subtle slit embody the playfulness of Paris’ number without crossing into risque territory. Although not as daring as the original, it’s a 2000s-themed party outfit idea that’s sure to have everyone asking for your style secrets.

MASQUERADE PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS: 5 LOOKS FOR A MYSTERIOUS VIBE

We love themed parties! And masquerade themes are one of our favorites. It’s still an opportunity to dress to impress, but with an added twist: You get to wear a fun mask!

The party is sure to be a blast, but what do you wear? If you’re looking for outfit ideas for a masquerade party, you’ve come to the right place ‘coz we’ve got all the inspiration that you need!

5 Mysterious Masquerade Party Dress Ideas

Here are alluring masquerade party outfit ideas to inspire your look for your upcoming masquerade party. Let’s dig in!

1. Red sequin A-line dress with corset bodice

When it comes to masquerade party dress ideas, red is always a popular one, alongside black and gold. We can see why. It’s an eye-catching color that will turn heads and get people guessing who you are. It’s vibrant, sultry, and flattering on all skin tones. Talk about a triple threat!

Corset bodices are very popular for masquerade-themed parties. Why? Masquerade balls originated in the 15th century, when corset bodices were very popular! We love that this dress highlights your curves without being too revealing. Its corset top and lace-up back accentuate your hourglass shape, but the A-line silhouette ensures the rest of the dress falls loosely against your body. Yes, the best of both worlds.

Mask inspo: A red and black mask will tie this look together easily. To zhuzh up your mask, look for one with feathers!

2. Black sequin mermaid dress with detachable cape

Of course, we can’t share mysterious masquerade party outfit ideas without showing you a slinky black gown.

Mermaid silhouettes are a great choice if you want to embrace your inner Marilyn Monroe and show off your curves. A high slit in the skirt, off-the-shoulder sleeves, and a sweetheart neckline are other ways to add some fierceness to your masquerade party outfit.

If you want a mysterious look—but still want to stand out—look for eye-catching fabrics and embellishments, like satin, glitter, or sequins. A detachable mesh cape will also pique others’ curiosities and perhaps even prompt them to strike up a conversation!

Mask inspo: The great thing about black masquerade dresses is that you can choose any color of mask that you want. For a sleek look, opt for all black or black and gold. For a bold look, choose a vibrant gemstone shade, like emerald green.

3. Champagne glitter mesh babydoll dress

If red and black aren’t your colors—but you want a classic masquerade look—then you can’t go wrong with a gold or champagne dress. These luxurious hues are perfect for a masquerade party.

This masquerade party outfit idea is a great short dress option. Whether the dress code is less formal, or you want to show off your legs (Don’t blame ya!), we always recommend babydoll silhouettes for this party theme. With their tight bodices and flared skirts, babydoll dresses offer a playful, modern take on 15th-century masquerade ball gowns.

Mask inspo: Choose any color you’d like. But weave in gold, if you can, to tie together your look. Red and gold, black and gold, green and gold—the options are endless!

4. Green mesh A-line dress with beaded bodice

Now it’s time to explore a few unique (but still mysterious and alluring!) masquerade party outfit ideas. 

We absolutely adore this green A-line dress. Its dark green hue creates a striking yet moody look, which is fitting for a masquerade ball, don’t you think? It also creates the perfect backdrop for sparkling details, like sequins, jewels, and beads. It really makes the designs stand out. 

When it comes to masquerade party dress ideas, more is more. (Yes, you read that right!) Whether it’s through your embellishments, fabrics, or mask choice, you can bring the drama. And if you’re rocking an A-line dress, go big with your skirt. Mesh and tulle are great fabrics for adding volume without too much weight. 

Mask inspo: It’s time to bring the sparkle. Opt for a neutral color and then layer on the sequins, glitter, and jewels.

5. Purple sequin and velvet bodycon dress

While gemstone shades are not as popular as black, gold, or red, they’re favorites around here at GLS Collective. When it comes to our outfit ideas for masquerade parties, we’re all about the glam. And gemstone colors—like amethyst, sapphire, and emerald—scream luxury. 

If you like where we’re going, then here’s our next recommendation: choose a fabric that shimmers. Glitter or sequins will bring the sparkle. But satin is a great pick too—for a smooth, lustrous look. 

Mask inspo: This masquerade party outfit idea is all about texture. Choose a neutral color but layer on the fabrics and embellishments, like feathers and lace.

🌟 Ring in the New Year with These Five Show-stopping NYE Outfits 🎇

If you’re looking for a dazzling dress for your New Year’s Eve event, you’re in the right place. These five sparkling NYE outfits will definitely turn heads as you strut your way into the new year.

1. Gold sequin asymmetrical mermaid dress

Gold is a staple color for NYE outfits. New Year’s Eve is a time to dress lavishly—and of course, what’s more lavish than gold?

Many people will either wear a gold dress or layer on the gold accessories. You could also do both! We encourage you to go all out because when else can you? This mermaid dress is covered head to toe in gold sequins, which is totally appropriate for a NYE outfit. Go ahead and bring on the bling!

Underneath the sequins is velvet, which is another fabric fit for the holidays. It creates a unique texture as well as warmth. If you’re worried about the cold, sleeves will also help keep you warm. We love this asymmetrical look—it’s cozy but also very fashionable.

💗 Recommended for: Black-tie dinners and events.

2. Rose gold short bodycon dress

If you’re a gold gal but prefer a shorter hemline, this NYE outfit is for you. It’s very similar to the option above (gold sequins and velvet fabric) but it offers a short bodycon silhouette.

Bodycon dresses are known for their body-hugging fabric. It’s perfect for showing off your gorgeous curves. A slight slit in the skirt also dials up the spice. To balance out this fiery look, opt for a simple straight-across neckline.

With your feet on full display, you’ll also need to pick the perfect pair of shoes. We recommend nude or gold heels.

💗 Recommended for: Chic lounges, nightclubs, and house parties.

3. Silver glitter mermaid dress

Silver is having a major moment right now. So while gold is the go-to metallic shade for New Year’s, we recommend exploring silver NYE outfits this year, too.

If head-to-toe sequins are too bold for you, glitter fabric is a great way to rock sparkle more subtly. It’ll gently shimmer underneath the evening light, creating an elegant look for your New Year’s Eve event.

This NYE outfit also allows you to channel your inner Marilyn Monroe with its mermaid silhouette and V-neckline.

💗 Recommended for: Romantic dinners and intimate events.

4. Black glitter asymmetrical mermaid dress

We couldn’t show you NYE outfits without showing you a sleek black dress. Alongside gold, black is the most popular color for NYE outfits. It’s flattering and versatile—what else could you ask for?

There’s a common misconception that black is boring. But that’s not the case. You can create a unique look through your fabric choice, silhouette, sleeves, and accessories. As you can see here, the asymmetrical long layer immediately creates a bold, dramatic look.

You can also opt for shimmering fabric, whether it’s sequins or glitter. Or, you can rock a black dress with metallic embroidery or embellishments. The world is your oyster when it comes to black NYE outfits!

💗 Recommended for: Black-tie dinners and events.

If you gravitate toward black but also want eye-catching sparkle, this black and gold babydoll dress is just the thing you need.

With an A-line silhouette, its skirt is made for moving. You can dance the night away knowing that your outfit is lighting up the room. A-line dresses are also very popular because they flatter all body types. They cinch the waist and flare out at the hips, creating an hourglass shape. Gorgeous and practical!

The cut-away shoulders are also cute, yet practical. They create the illusion of off-the-shoulder sleeves, while still providing support. Yes, you can bust out your signature moves without feeling the need to constantly adjust your outfit (Ladies, you know that this is a major win!).
