If you’re an avid Gossip Girl fan, you probably already know that Dan and Blair (Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester) will share another kiss in one of the episodes. Here’s a shot of a scene that was taken just this Monday.

I’m not exactly a “Dan & Blair” fan, so I cannot squeal in delight over this pic, but I love the pink layered ball gown on Leighton Meester (as seen in full view below).

Now, that’s what you call a gown worthy of a princess. The piece is from Oscar de la Renta, and while I don’t have a clue how much it costs (yet), it did inspire me to feature a few more prom dresses for our young and fashionable readers today:

A good store to check out for prom pieces is David’s Bridal. They sell bridal gowns and dresses for every special occasion you can think of. They also offer accessories such as shoes, bags, jewelry, gloves, and hair pieces to help you complete your red-carpet look. Hey, they even provide tuxedos, invitations, and reception favors!

Now, down to those prom dresses, shopping for a prom dress at David’s Bridal is pretty easy because they have subcategories that help filter through the hundreds of gorgeous dresses. You can shop by hemline, cut silhouette, or color, and there’s even a section dedicated solely to plus-size prom dresses, as well as affordable looks you can grab at less than $100. Helpful links such as Top Trends for Prom 2012 and Prom Hair Tips are also available.
