Shopping For Ball Gowns

As a woman, when we hear the word ball gown, we immediately think of Cinderella in

that fabulous blue and white number that just epitomizes glamour, romance, and fun. With that ideal in mind, we've gathered some of the classiest, most beautiful ball gowns around. Not to worry, though, the ones we've gathered are best suited for modern princesses with trendy twists. So, don't step out in that famous heel without checking into these top picks!

The first glam-alicious dress we've chosen comes from Laundry by Shelli Segal. Her 'Charcoal Colored Strapless Gown' tops this list for its perfectly done simplicity and hot color choice. This floor length strapless evening gown features a ruched bodice, sweat heart neckline, and clean, low-cut back. Draping gracefully, this 100% silk frock falls gently and drapes just right. Plus, with its charcoal grey color and silky sheen, you'll give off an ephemeral, heaven-like feel as you glide into the room and circle the dance floor. And, don't forget that its looser shape will keep you comfortable, all the while looking phenomenal.

Any time you choose an nontraditional color in formal attire, you're sure to attract attention for your choice: black and white, red and navy; we've all been there. But, a truly fabulous grey gown will definitely turn heads. Plus, its sheen allows for the ever-obvious silver accessorizing, while maintaining enough shine to work with gold, as well. With a full retail tag of $295, you really cannot go wrong with this beautiful, yet unique ball gown.

If you liked the dreamy feel of Shelli Segal's dress, but are looking to take your look more in the Greek Goddess direction, BCBG has the perfect option for you. Their 'Silk Chiffon Evening Gown' just does it right. This sapphire blue strapless dress bodes a beautiful (and ever-classic) straight neckline, empire waist, and beautifully beaded bodice. Its long, flowing skirt harkens back to a Grecian feel, while its bright color and unique bodice beading keep it fabulously fresh. The pleating at the bodice keeps the look neat, while the timeless A-line shape adds a softness and ultra feminine feel to the shape. Plus, its 100% silk texture is to die for. In this case, there are a couple layers of lining underneath (unlike out previous choice), so the skirt hangs with a bit more structure and oomph. The price tag for this puppy comes in at $418--a cost well worth the unforgettably classic look of this piece.

If you like the strapless look, but are in the mood for something with a little more sass, check out ABS by Allen Schwartz for his 'Purple Evening Dress.' This floor length, strapless gown (quite clearly the shape of the moment!) features a sensual sweetheart neckline and ruched bodice with an asymmetrical criss-cross detail, emphasizing your curves in a classy and understated way. Its empire waist highlights your slim frame, while keeping you comfortable and making it easy for you to move around the room and chat with just about everyone (all the while, no doubt, they'll be admiring your sultry/sweet ball gown.) Plus, with such a smooth and delicate skirt, you'll be twirling with the best of them around the dance floor.
