April is what my friends in high school called "Magda Season." It was when high school girls started tanning so much that some resembled There's Something About Mary's compulsive sunbather, Magda. All in preparation for prom. Yikes. Feeling nostalgic, I went browsing websites' juniors departments to see what kind of prom dresses were on the market. I encountered another "yikes," and decided I might have a little more fun playing prom at Rent the Runway. Rent the Runway is a little out of my price range for regular events, but for formalwear, their model makes sense: rather than spend a couple hundred dollars on a gown you will wear once or twice, pay as little as seventy-five dollars to rent a designer gown instead. Inspired by fashion icons real and fictional, Bianca Jagger and Jessica Rabbit*, respectively, here are a few prom looks that will keep you out of "yikes" territory.
* I'm not sure anyone should really wear purple opera length gloves anywhere but a costume party, but I overcompensated with LOTS of other purple accessories.
