Some of the best prom dresses are available online, meaning the dress shopping experience is vastly different from when we went to prom. But the good news is — whether you (and your kiddo) are in the market for long, short, white, plus size, or cheap prom dresses — you have access to more choices than ever before. After all, back when we were groovin’ in the high school auditorium, Amazon was a mere book retailer in a mysterious place called the internet. But now? It may be where you find your junior or senior’s dream prom dress, or if not, you’ll likely scoop up some cute heels, sparkly jewelry, or blingy hair barrettes with 2-day shipping.

While prom may look a bit different this year (that is, for those schools who haven’t canceled it altogether), your soon-to-be graduate will still want to look fly for their most memorable school dance. And although matching face masks will be the newest “it” accessory and slow dancing will be prohibited (a sigh of relief, for some parents), they deserve to have a night that they’ll never forget.

So in the name of dressing to the nines and posing with friends for yearbook photos, we’ve rounded up some of the best, most unique prom dresses (plus some prom jumpsuits and gender-neutral picks) available online. No matter what style she chooses, one thing’s for sure: Your little girl will look stunning.
