It's Prom Season, and promposals are in full swing (along with finding your perfect prom dress, of course)! There are so many cute ideas that we've seen floating across the internet, and the most recent one comes from a high school that's not too far from our store in New Jersey, Oakcrest High School. Dana Cameron-Bucci recently shared with us the photos of a cute volleyball themed promposal between two Oakcrest students, Charlize Synder and Sean Stabile.
When Dana sent us the photos, she explained that Sean made the prom proposal last night (Sunday, March 20th) at his wrestling banquet that Charlize attended with him. He performed the promposal to Charlize in front of the whole wrestling team, including coaches and parents! How sweet is that?! Continue reading →
Finding that perfect prom dress to stand out at prom is a mission that can take a gal months. Two-piece? Lace? Open back? High-low? So many styles and trends to choose from. Well, we have one new trend to add to your list that is as unique as it comes! Many celebrities have been rocking the trend lately, and Selena Gomez is the latest. The trend is capes. Capes, cape dresses, and capes as dresses is a look that has become more and more popular in the fashion world, and the look can now even be found in prom dresses.
Selena recently wore the hot new trend while out on the town in Paris. The celebrity wore an elegant black Vionnet dress with a chiffon cape over top of it. It's a totally dramatic, yet so classy look that gives a whole new name to wearing a ball gown.
While wearing capes with dresses is still a very new trend and mainly only seen on celebrities, there are a couple of ways you can snag this unique look for prom. Check out two options below to take your prom dress to the next level. Continue reading →

The 88th Academy Awards was certainly a night to remember. Chris Rock kicked off the night with a monologue about the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, and Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his Oscar! The actor took home the Lead Actor Oscar for his role in the movie "The Revenant," and had a moving acceptance speech about the dangers of climate change.
Of course, Leo also had his ever ongoing special encounter with Kate Winselt on the red carpet, which never disappoints. They both looked stunning, but they weren't the only ones we were impressed with on the Oscars 2016 red carpet. Our favorite two looks of the night came from Sofia Vergara and Dorith Mous, who both wore elegant gowns that had us dreaming of prom. Check out what they wore below, as well as how you can channel their looks for Prom 2016!
Sofia Vergara on the Oscars 2016 Red Carpet
Sofia wore a beautiful navy blue gown on the Oscars red carpet that's not only so perfect for a black tie event like the Oscars, but is so prom reminiscent. The deep sweetheart neckline and ruched waist accentuated the actress' curves perfectly. We also loved that she had her hair pulled back - it really allowed the sparkly jewels and beautiful deep color of the dress stand out. Continue reading →
BFFs Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift yet again left everyone stunned, as they were each other's dates for the 2016 Grammys. Going to the 58th Annual Grammy Awards last night as BFFs weren't the only thing that caught everyone's attention, though. The two couldn't have looked any more glam in their Grammys red carpet dresses! Selena rocked a blue sequined cut-out dress, while Taylor wore a color blocked two piece gown. Both celeb gals couldn't have been more on-trend with their looks.
The best part about their looks is that they're ones that you can easily channel for your prom dance. Check out how you can get both of their looks below! Continue reading →
Valentine's Day is almost here, so of course the colors of red, pink, and purple are top of mind for us Roo Girls right now. While there are so many beautiful Valentine's Day dresses to choose from in all of our favorite V-Day colors, we're in that prom mood and are obsessing over radiant red prom dresses. Check out some of our favorite red dresses for Prom 2016 below!
The dress above is Sherri Hill style 50195, a ravishing satin mermaid gown that features a lovely v-neckline with halter straps that meet in the back, revealing a sleeve cut out design. The back features a large ruffle from below the waistline that's so elegant. Continue reading →
The Screen Actor Guild Awards are a pretty big deal, to say the least, recognizing outstanding performances in film and primetime television. So, all of the biggest stars are attending the event and walking the red carpet in the finest. One of those stars at the 2016 SAG Awards was of course Uzo Aduba, who you might know from the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, where she place Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren.
Uzo always puts on an incredible performance on the series, so it was no surprise that the actress walked away with two trophies this past Saturday night (January 30th) - one as part of the cast of OITNB and one for her individual role as Crazy Eyes in the series. But, it wasn't her accolades or her pretty green gown that got our attention at the SAG Awards this year. Rather, it's that she chose to attend the event with one of her closest friends... and her high school prom date!
The photo above is what the actress shared on Instagram: two photos side-by-side of her and her date - one from the two at this year's SAG Awards event, and the other a throwback picture of the two together on prom night! She wrote: "He asked me to the prom, I said yes. I asked him to SAGs, he said yes. #sagawards @mcrow55." So cute! Continue reading →
This past week's Saturday Night Live show was full of girl power, with two of the biggest women celebrities hosting and performing on the show. While the East Coast was suffering from a major snow storm, nothing stopped MMA athlete and former bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey from showing her acting chops, and actress and musician Selena Gomez from performing some totally sizzling numbers (melting that snow and ice right away!). When opening up the show, Ronda explained that it was her first time on live TV without being hit in the face (can we say badass??), and Selena showed just how great of a singer she is with stripped-down medleys of "Good for You" and "Same Old Love."
We loved every minute of watching them on the SNL stage... and we especially loved all of the sexy dresses the two wore throughout the show! While Ronda was a staple part of the entire SNL show that night, constantly changing outfits and dresses, our favorite looks from both celebs came when it was time for Selena to take the stage for her performances. During this time, they both wore totally sleek and sexy black gowns that had us dreaming of prom. Check out what they wore (and Selena's performance!) in the video below. Then, read on to see how you can get their looks for prom.
Both of them looked amazing, right? Get their looks with the dresses below - you'll find two choices for each celeb style. Continue reading →
