Having trouble sussing out the perfect prom dress style? You’re definitely not alone. Choosing a prom dress is no easy feat. The photos and the memories you make will last you a lifetime, so we don’t blame you for wanting your special night to be absolutely perfect.

Finding a gown that’s gorgeous, affordable, and easy to dance in, can feel like a next-to-impossible task, especially if you’re already bogged down cramming for finals or swept up in a sea of homework. So why not let the stars decide your fate?

While we can’t use the stars to predict how your night will turn out, we can tell you what type of dresses to shop for based on your zodiac sign. Now you can stress less over the dress–and spend more time getting excited for prom night! Read on for our perfect picks for every Astro babe.  

Zodiac Signs Dresses:

Aries

Aries babes love the drama, so it’s only natural that you’ll need a dress that turns heads. And there’s no better way to grab the attention of the entire dance floor than with a bold strapless mermaid dress. Not only is this style ultra-flirty, but it leaves tons of room to have fun with your hair, makeup, and accessories.

Taurus

Our Taurus queens are all about comfort and functionality. But, there’s no rule that says that comfort = casual loungewear. Go for a dress with interesting back detail or ruching at the bum. It’ll fit comfortably, and hug you in all the right places.

Gemini

Geminis are the twin star sign, so naturally, you should rock a two-piece dress. Matching sets are stylish, sultry, and ideal for the fashion risk-taker. Plus, they’re a great option for the Geminis planning on being in the center of the dance floor all night.

Cancer

Romantic is the theme for our devoted and empathetic Cancers. Choosing a prom dress color like champagne, silver, or lavender will show off your soft side and leave you feeling like you came straight out of a fairytale. A hairstyle like a low bun will really pull the look together.

Leo

Leos love the spotlight and the prom is a perfect opportunity to debut your newest look. Naturally, the trend-setting Leo should roll up to prom in all things sequin. You’ll be the life of the party and look amazing doing it.

Virgo

Virgo’s love a vintage, classic look; bonus points if the dress can be worn multiple times. Going for a gorgeous a-line dress in a neutral color like navy blue or black will allow you to get creative with your accessories and hair (might we suggest gold hoops)?

Libra

Libras love standing out and there’s no better opportunity to do so than prom night. One of this spring’s biggest (and most fun) trends is fringe. Especially if it’s your senior year, you have no reason not to go all out, so why not dance the night away in a swingy, 1920’s-inspired dress?

Scorpio

Scorpios are mysterious and flirty. Keep them on their toes by rocking a dress with a high-slit, paired with sexy heels, of course. Finish off the look with smoky eyes and a delicate gold necklace, and be prepared to leave an unforgettable impression on everyone.

Sagittarius

Let’s be real: Sagittarius babies hardly lack confidence, so the options for prom dress styles are far from limited. But if you want to show off your fun-loving, free-spirited personality, bright colors are the way to go. A color like hot pink, red, or orange is perfect for putting your full fire-sign energy on display–and lighting up the room.

Capricorn

Capricorns are sophisticated and love the elegant, understated look. For a unique dress that shows off your minimalist side with a sexy twist, opt for a sleek gown with cutouts. A loose updo ties the look together and gives off a strong red-carpet-ready vibe.

Aquarius

Everyone knows our water bearer friends love to swim against the tide. Choosing a jumpsuit makes for an unexpected prom look that’s still quite glam, but has a touch of rebellion that’s totally Aquarius.

Pisces

Pisces babes love to daydream, and their dresses should reflect that. Flowy, ethereal prom dress styles in oceanic hues emphasize this water sign’s soft, creative nature. Finish the look with a dreamy headband or pearl baubles.
