E-Girl Prom Dresses That Give Off That Goth Princess Vibe

The pressure to wear a ruffled, powder pink ball gown on prom night is strong, but contrary to popular belief, getting dressed up doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your edge (take it from me, a former emo kid). You don't have to wear pearls or tulle or bright colors or even a dress if you don't want to. There are a million and one prom options out there (including a massive range of really cute suits) that will still make you feel like you—just, like, a fancier version.

But this list isn't about that. This list is for those of you who related more to Janis Ian more than you did Cady Heron. For the Buttercups, Aria Montgomerys, and Lydia Deetzs of the world. For the goth girls who reach for skulls and Docs over cardigans and Converse (again, me). Ahead, shop the cutest gothic-inspired dresses ahead that'll make you feel like your most authentic self on prom night.
