Move over pastel pinks and safe navies – lemon yellow has officially stolen the spotlight for Prom 2026, and we are here for it!

This isn’t the soft butter-yellow of years gone by. This is zesty, sunshine-in-a-dress lemon – bright enough to turn every head the moment you walk into the room, yet surprisingly flattering on almost every skin tone. Designers like Sherri Hill, Jovani, Ellie Wilde and Portia & Scarlett have all released jaw-dropping lemon gowns this season, and the demand has been unreal.
