Prom Spot - Prom 2009 Top Fashion Trends

Want to wow your prom date (and every other guy in the room)? This season's hottest styles are guaranteed to do just that. From animal-print dresses to poufy tulle skirts, these great prom gowns are sure to stand out!

1. Animal Prints
Show off your wild side in an exotic leopard-print gown. This slinky satin style by Windsor Store is floor-length (in other words: not too revealing) so it doesn't feel overly risque.

2. Big Blooms
Talk about flower power. Bright pink roses, like the ones on this Alyce Designs dress, are oh-so-romantic; we can't help but think that gowns like this will totally have your guy begging for a first dance.

3. Tight and Bright
Give the boys a real reason to ogle. Show up to prom in one of this season's colorful figure-hugging designs. This cobalt blue dress by La Femme has a bit of ruching that will also help hide panty lines.

4. Sexy Slits
Do you dare to bare your legs? If miniskirts aren't for you, try something a bit more demure, like the sophisticated slit on this Jessica McClintock dress. Add some posh accessories and wrap your hair in a bun to really highlight your chic look.

5. Poufy Tulle Skirts
Twirling on the dance floor is just more fun with a flirty tulle skirt. Get the party started with one of these crystal-studded styles by Mori Lee.

6. Feathers
Want the ultimate eye-catching embellishment? Strut your stuff in an exotic feathered frock. Just don't overdo it with accessories: With this trendy dress by Jovani, a chunky cocktail ring is all the bling you'll need.

7. Low Backs
Take the plunge with a low-back gown for a look that says "high style." We love this blazing red, crystal-studded style by Zum Zum.

8. Polka Dots
Take a cue from Gossip Girl and get "spotted." Whether your dress is short or long, playful polka dots are always a crowd-pleaser. For extra attention-grabbing glamour, get a dress in a bold color, like this bright teal eDressMe number.

9. Glittering Gold
This sequined gown by BG Haute is proof that you don't have to load on the jewelry to sparkle this prom season. Consider this gilded hue for a dress that really shines.

10. Hot Pink
Want a gown that will really turn heads? Try a color that no one (especially not your latest crush) can ignore. We adore this hot pink Night Moves by Allure dress, which will show off your flirty personality.
