90s style is all the rage. I recently got a blast from the past by watching 10 Things I Hate About You with Julia Stiles & Heath Ledger. It was marvelous. In the film, Bianca's pretty in pink prom dress -- or prom crop top with tulle skirt, as it should be called -- is way too chic to ignore. The separate pieces give it a relaxed feel but the satin & tulle show some glamour. I simply couldn't resist recreating the look. Get the look with Bianca's prom dress from 10 Things I Hate About You!
There are two vital items to start off your look. The first thing you need is a shiny, bright pink crop top. It doesn't have to be too cropped just enough to show a sliver of skin. The next thing is a somewhat long pink tulle skirt. You should look like a lovely pink ballerina. These two make a whimsical, vintage-inspired pair. Once you find these key items the rest is up to you.
During the prom scene in 10 Things I Hate About You, Bianca holds a unique satin pink bag. It's hard to find something quite like it so I did my best to search for an alternative. All you need is a bold pink coin purse that's small enough to hold your essentials but not large enough to hide the world.
Accessorize your prom look with a dainty & sweet necklace of your choice. You might as well go with a retro 90s looking choker necklace. If you have a genuine necklace from the 1990s that's even better, but not all of us are so lucky as to have those lying around. The stretchy chokers are very cheap & easy to find these days.

The last thing you'll need to complete Bianca's prom dress look is a pair of cute strappy heels. You'll only need a darling pair to last long enough to capture for the photos. By the time you start dancing you'll probably take them off after a couple of songs. That's how it normally goes at dances. I can vouch for that because dancing in high heels is no easy feat.

DeleteSuch a wonderful idea for a blog post. I have this film on DVD and remember Bianca’s prom outfit quite well. I love how you have recreated it, the skirt in particular is gorgeous. Would love to see a series of these posts for different outfits seen in films! :-) xx

DeleteThat skirt is the cutest! Isn't it funny how the 90's are coming back already? Makes me wish I never got rid of my clothes from that time! Hahah that includes overalls, jean skirts, and all my glittery stuff. Love this inspiration post! I don't think i'm ballsy enough to wear all of that pink at once but the separates are tempting :)

DeleteNot going to lie...some of the 90s style that is coming back I love! It's so true that things will always come back! Love the crop top and full skirt, such unique proportions that work so well together!
ReplyDeletewww.laurenfarrellny.com/blog
The proportions are just so perfect. A little bit of a crop top with a long skirt. Just love it. :]
DeleteI think this is so much fun, especially as inspiration for prom or something!

Thanks Dominique. That's so sweet of you to say. I always try to stay true to myself. :]

I never watched the TV show but I recently watch the movie again with my family again. Good stuff. :]
DeleteBelieve it or not, I haven't seen this movie despite the raving reviews I hear about it! I do like tulle skirts though just have no occasion to wear them unfortunately. Super cute look though :)
ReplyDeleteSam | http://mybeautycloud.com
I guess we just have to make the occasion! Pairing a fancy looking tulle skirt with a basic tee & flats could tone it down a bit. :]
DeleteSuch a cool post! Gemma x
