11 Graduation 2017 Party Dresses Inspired By Celebs
Congratulations! You’ve done the hard work, passed your tests, survived prom and are finally ready to graduate. You’ve probably had your graduation ceremony dress planned for months, but finding the perfect graduation party dress is slightly (okay, fine, a lot) more complicated. What color will it be? Should it be sparkly? And what’s the best length to wear? And depending if the celebration is during the day or a turn up at night, choosing the best one can leave you just shy of scatterbrained. But, whatever you decide, it should be made for a night to remember and make you feel unstoppable. Ahead, let these on-trend beauties inspire your graduation look.
Theo Wargo1/12Skai Jackson
Floral dresses are no doubt warm-weather staples. This low cut dress (peep the matching choker, too) has been reimagined for spring and we’re all for it.
Stefanie Keenan2/12Kaia Gerber
Kaia’s stunning take on the lace mini and metallic heel comes courtesy of Marc Jacobs. It's without question a must-have as you celebrate entering the next chapter in your life.
Donato Sardella3/12Lily Collins
Lily put a daring twist on a LBD at a recent Panthere de Cartier party. Obvi, a super low-cut dress with pumps will always make a grand impression.
RB/Bauer-Griffin4/12Ariel Winter
Okay, so sheer isn't always appropriate (especially if grandma is around), but this see-through dress is great for night time graduation fêtes.
Jason LaVeris5/12Alisha Boe
Alisha nails two trends in one with this Vivienne Westwood dress: futuristic metallic and draping. It's the perfect piece for an evening graduation soiree.
Michael Tran6/12Yara Shahidi
Yara’s tea-length silhouette is everything we want in a graduation party dress: classic, yet easy-fitting enough to dance in all night.
Jon Kopaloff7/12Demi Lovato
Ideal for a graduation day party, Demi’s floral minidress is equal parts fun and flirty. Opt for an off-the-shoulder neckline to be casual cool.
Vivien Killilea8/12Becky G
Leave it to Becky G to make the case for this form-fitting classic look.
Gregg DeGuire9/12Amandla Stenberg
Amandla earned her stripes in a Fendi dress that featured oversized buttons. Wear this fun (and unexpected) pocket placement at your graduation party for a look that’s as stylish as it is practical.
David Crotty10/12Cara Delevingne
Can we say traffic stopper? Cara’s it-girl aesthetic is everything you need to make a bold statement and then some.
Jason LaVeris11/12Shay Mitchell
Okay, we get it — a long-sleeved floor-length dress in the summer heat isn’t exactly ideal, but Shay pulls it off effortlessly and TBH, so can you. Just wear one with cutouts to it feels more doable, and shut down any nighttime graduation party in style.
