As the excitement built for EPHS’s 2025 prom, students were thrilled for one of the best nights of the year. Prom is a special dance event for high school students where you dress up. This year at EPHS, the theme for prom was The Great Gatsby and it was hosted on April 18th, so we hope you guys partied like it was 1922– just remember, EPHS did not throw a wild and lavish party at Gatsby’s mansion!
Now, being girls, one of the best parts of any event is getting ready, especially trying on dresses, so we asked our Tigers to fill out a survey about their top three favorite prom dresses from this year’s EPHS prom. Let’s dive into your guys’ favorite dresses that stole the spotlight this year!
Dress 1: Isabella Braglia
First up, we have Isabella Braglia (also known as Izzy), who had the highest vote from our survey! Izzy wore the dress called Rachel Allen 70002 to prom and looked stunning. We agreed with your guys’ opinion on picking her as one of your favorite dresses. The dress has beautiful colors, like blue, pink, gold, and white, and it has a beautiful geometric beading pattern throughout the dress. She got her dress from Peaches, a dress store in the city, and the dress cost $700. I mean the money was worth it! The kind of style she went for was a scooped neckline with spaghetti straps that went down to the back of the dress, creating a low back with a corset lace-up tie. She didn’t end up following The Great Gatsby theme. She got her inspo from TikTok and so did other people from EPHS, like Milana Brilyak, who also wore the same dress as Izzy to prom!
Dress 2: Anya Zhdan
Up next, we have Anya Zhdan! Anya had the 2nd highest vote from our survey! She wasn’t sure what the name of her dress was, but we know for sure that she had a beautiful dress and stood out on the dance floor! This dress is a mix of a blue and purple color, and it cost around $500! Anya didn’t really have an inspo. She just went to the store and tried on a bunch of dresses and out of all the ones she tried on, she loved this one best because of the color! She was the only one who wore this dress, and she, also, didn’t follow The Great Gatsby theme. She got her dress from Gipper Prom. The strapless dress has a gorgeous corset on the top, a fitted bottom, and a pretty design with sparkles.
Dress 3: Alyssa Andersen
Last but not least, we have Alyssa Andersen! She had the third highest vote from our survey! The name of her prom dress is Nox Anabel A1586, and this is an elegant white and beige dress dazzled with silver gems. This dress stood out effortlessly, making her the center of attention throughout the evening. She got her dress from Gipper Prom and it cost around $400. Alyssa didn’t really have any inspo; she just went looking for a dress and thought this one was the best suited her for her. Alyssa’s prom dress design was a beautiful see-through corset on the top filled with designs on the bottom of the dress. I mean, you can’t disagree that her dress was lovely! Alyssa was the only one who wore this dress and didn’t consider following The Great Gatsby theme, but she still lit up the room like a 1920s star!
After looking at the results of the survey, we 100% agree with your guys’ responses. These dresses made a statement and created unforgettable memories on the dance floor. Each of these dresses brought something unique, whether it was a design, a trendy look, or something completely new! Regardless of these being voted the top 3 dresses, all dresses were number 1 in our eyes! We hope everyone had a great time at prom and felt confident in your gorgeous gowns!
