As we look to our neighborhood magazine stand, we can start to notice the new crop of mags popping up to kick off spring. And mixed in with all that glorious spring fashion is the creme de la creme of prom style.

Obviously, we aren’t really looking for prom dresses (unless we’re robbing the cradle and dating high school boys), but just seeing these magazines dedicated to high school’s most important night really takes me back. I remember the stressful search for a date (found one a week before!),  coming up with the money for tickets (which, at my school, cost an arm and a leg both years), the limo (who’s friends are we going with, and the after party (who’s friends are we going with, aka, we’re going with my friends, get over it).

Yeah, prom was stressful, but totally worth it. I had a blast both times. Mostly because I spent 60% of the night shaking my groove thang, and the other 40% of the time staring at all the girls in their hideous prom dresses.  You know the ones I mean – the  fashion don’ts dresses that girls completely tricked out and possibly bedazzled to make prom super special. They were annoying then – ruining every picture when the flash reflected off all that sequins – but I loved every tacky minute of it. Even now I find myself drawn to dress department in Macy’s, watching young girls make the biggest fashion mistake of their lives.

So in honor of this joyous season, and some serious internet trawling to avoid the giant paper I have to finish before Spring Break, I bring you the ugliest prom dresses that the internet has to offer:

    ughh i can deal with the rest but that blue plaid one is truly killing me, it reminds me of something one of the drag queens in To Wong Fu: Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar. and they had some pretty hideous dresses in that movie

    I second that! We need a "Weekly Worst" column dedicated to the weirdest finds the writer can procure.

    Change the colour of the pink one and it will look exactly like most of the dresses on the red carpet.

    Wow… they're not even ugly, they're just not cliche. Ever went to an event and worn the same dress as 50 other girls? Sorry but I refuse to follow stereotypes.

    Wow. Those are REALLY bad. Just think how much girls (or their parents!) will be shelling out for these too!

    I think the second one looks good in the pic, but imagine actually wearing that thing somewhere!
