It was still possible to wear pastel and neon colors, but the style was more muted than in earlier times. Both smocked styles and ruffled styles were popular on the shoulder.

They were adorned with long satin gowns with sequins and rosettes, rhinestones, shoulder padding, black and white color schemes velvet and off-the-shoulder mini dresses. As the decade progressed more minimalist and sleek satin dresses became more popular.

In the early 2000s, minimalist fashion became fashionable, as girls started to look for more minimalist and sleek satin dresses. There were plenty of spaghetti straps, column silhouettes and sweetheart necklines. For something a little bit more fun there were plenty of bubble-hemmed prom dresses to pick from. This was the era when teens were inspired by their favorite celebs (i.e., Marissa Cooper's wildly unrealistic straight-off-the-runway Chanel frock in The O.C).


The '00s also saw more of a return to sparkle, with lots of beaded dresses that were bright shades like gold, pink and purple. Other elements that were popular were the ruffled sleeves and hemlines, elbow-length gloves and sexy, slinky details. There are dresses that have a a psychedelic feel and tie-dye or mixed color schemes.

A second trend was noticeable boning. This was probably inspired by the 2001 film Moulin Rouge! This fashion was all the rage and women wanted to show off their curves like Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) in 10 Things I Hate About You and Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) in Carrie.

There were also a lot of conservative dresses because girls wanted to be respected and follow the fashion rules at the time. This meant that you would see lots of long, flowy dresses that featured pretty embroidery and lace detailing and more modest two-piece prom dresses thanks to the likes of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Asymmetrical and tiered styles, as well as two-toned gowns combining silk and lace, became popular. And for prom dresses long looking to really make a statement, there were a few dresses that had super-high slits and sheer overlays.
