Party Monster: This Year’s It-Girl Prom Was Magic

fall prom is better than spring, duh

by nylon

Anyone who says prom is meant for the spring has clearly never been to ours. Fall fashion brings out the best looks, and our annual, pink-filled It Girl Prom took over New York’s Gilded Lily in true cool-girl fashion. With the air tinged with samples of Juicy Couture’s I Am Juicy Couture fragrance, NYC’s raddest—including Lucy Hale—sipped custom Svedka cocktails and danced to the beats of EMMIESHOUSE and The Knocks. When they weren’t getting down or hamming it up in the #babebooth, Missguided provided a little comfort with co-branded pillows scattered around the room. It wouldn’t be prom without a performer, though, and Icona Pop brought the house down with a shimmering set. Who cares if most of us had to work the next day? We could’ve prom’d all night. We, well, love it!
