High School Prom looks - Brenda vs. Kelly

Kelly was always looked at as the "beautiful" one of these two, but I thought at the prom, they would have made her look better. Her hair was just pulled up and she had that plain white dress on that made her look washed out. She looked better in other dresses, such as the blue one she wore when she was supposed to meet her father, but he didn't show up. Brenda on the other hand, wore that short, sparkly dress and her hair was full and curly. She looked way better than Kelly. Maybe they wanted to make Brenda look better on purpose, just because of the fact that Kelly ended up with Dylan instead of Brenda.

I thought they both looked underwhelming. Kelly's white dress was a very poor choice; she looked best in red or black. Brenda's dress was too short and disco looking and not fitting for the occasion. And her hair made her face look too round. She would have looked great in a long white dress.

I agree. Neither was a great choice for the occasion. Brenda's look was more appropriate for a nightclub and white is just not Kelly's color.

Although a huge Brenda fan, Brenda just didn't look good at prom. At all. That dress just wasn't flattering on her and her hair looked awful. I think it was deliberate that she looked bad, you know, so that her mood matched her outer appearance.

And I agree that Kelly looked very plain for prom. Donna looked better than both of them!

I agree. I liked Kelly's look, but I just thought it was too underwhelming and casual looking for prom. I liked Brenda's dress, but for a night out and not the prom. I also hated Brenda's hair like that. Donna looked the best and most prom like of the three.

I'm not really sure what the different prom styles were like in the 90s. This is the dress my aunt wore to her prom in the early 90's. ('92 I think it was) http://i.imgur.com/R0wz6Px.jpg Growing up, I loved that dress and told her I was going to wear it to my prom.  Funny enough, I did end up wearing a pink dress though. I had actually been shopping for a red one with no luck.

This is the dress I wore to my prom ten years ago. Poofy princess dresses were popular in '07. http://i.imgur.com/afHIy49.jpg

I like your dress. It's got that whole Disney princess vibe that's been so popular in the last ten years.

I went to prom in 1995 and that was the year of the long, elegant and tight-fitting black gown...A lot like the dresses you see worn on the red carpet today. When I went to junior prom in 1992, dresses were still shiny and a bit poofy. Bright pink, purple, and teal were incredibly popular dress colors in the early 90s as well as two-tone dresses, like a black bodice with a colored skirt and sleeves. They were quite ugly! Lol
