Prom Night Dress Review

Benicia teens show off their personal style at prom.

Benicia High's policy prohibiting inappropriate didn't stop girls from showing their style. Bold colors, metallic accents and show-stopping shoes were popular at Saturday's big dance.

Ke'Ana Coveson paired her sea-foam dress with metallic silver pumps that would make Lady Gaga say “ooh.”

Kierra Fletcher's chartreuse dress had fuchsia lace, giving it a regal Venetian look. Her fuchsia strappy heels added a bold modern feel to her ensemble. Her date, Hayden Mach, looked sharp in a fuchsia vest and bow tie.

Ja'Nae Lewis wore a stylish orchid gown with an open back. She bought it at Proms to Beaches in Santa Rosa. Her silver jeweled shoes were stunning all on their own.

Emily Vicente's sweetheart dress in coral from Promgirl suited her diminutive frame. Jacqueline Kolkebeck also found her strapless fuchsia gown at Promgirl.

Abigail Draper bought her turquoise ballroom gown accented with silver online at Formal Gallery. With her heels, she stood at 5-foot-11.  “I like her dress; it's gorgeous," said her date, Jacob Pitkin.

Samantha Kleinschmidt's bold multicolor print gown with leopard print accents was a head-turner, from Blossoms in Pleasanton. Her date, Josh Lewis, was perfectly paired in a cobalt blue vest.  

The most original look had to be sported by Kaylin Johnson and Cameron Pinta, who fearlessly wore sporty skate shoes, his in shiny black and hers in metallic silver. The pair obviously were having fun.
