You’ve come a long way, girl: Graduating is a big accomplishment (go ahead…pat yourself on the back). With celebration comes a great time with cute pics—and an even cuter outfit. White dresses are the traditional route, but why not spruce up your grad look? After all, it’s your big day, so go all out with a big slay!

Satin makes for a classic look, especially in a flowy long number. Adding sleek gold heels and statement bow earrings keeps it simple yet classy. You’ll be camera ready for every angle. The stage and your diploma is waiting for you, gorgeous.
Metallic match

Make your mark with a metallic finish to your grad outfit. Embellishments on your dress are a great start. Add a futuristic feel with shiny silver jewelry. Kitten heels are so in right now—sleek and sharp with the perfect amount of pizzazz.
New beginnings in navy

Earrings, $11, JCPenney. Necklace, $15, JCPenney. Dress, $50, Hollister. Heels, $60, DSW.
Splashes of color add contrast to the monochromatic white grad look. Nods of navy keep it fun and allow a fresh take on graduation fashion. Gems and rhinestones round off the outfit and give that “wow” factor. Now, it’s your time to shine. Walk across the stage, show off your beautiful smile and celebrate YOU! We’re so proud.
