The tradition began life in America but became huge on these shores in the 90s as school leavers turned on the style for the glitz and glamour of prom night.
Prom season is upon us and it can often bring up nostalgia for those of us who experienced the end-of-school party years – or decades – ago.
Your Chad has delved into the archives from the last decade or so to bring up some fond memories of proms gone by. You may even find some outfit inspiration!
