From online inspiration to in-store try-ons with friends, the brand bridges trend authority with real-world access, ensuring prom-goers can find the perfect prom dress without compromise.
"Prom is often the first major fashion moment where personal style takes center stage," said Heather McReynolds, SVP of Merchandising, Planning and Product Development at David's Bridal. "For Spring 2026, we focused on offering a breadth of trends, silhouettes, and fits so every prom-goer can express who they are and show up feeling confident, bold, and completely themselves."
Timed for peak prom season, the 2026 Prom Collection will debut in multiple trend-driven drops throughout February and March, delivering fresh newness aligned with how students shop and search for what to wear to prom.
The 2026 Prom Collection assortment highlights four key prom dress trends:
