Plum Prom Dresses

Plum prom dresses bring rich, jewel-toned color to prom night without going all the way to black. Shop satin, sequin, beaded, and shimmer chiffon gowns in deep plum, eggplant, and mulberry, in sizes 0–24.

Plum, Eggplant, or Mulberry?

Plum is a deep purple with a warm, reddish undertone. Eggplant is darker and moodier, close to black-purple in evening light. Mulberry leans berry, with more red and pink, and looks especially soft in shimmer chiffon. Fabric changes the shade too: satin catches highlights, while sequins and beading add sparkle on top of the color.

Start with favorites like the Ingrid Gown in mulberry shimmer chiffon, the stretch satin Marcie Gown in eggplant, the crystal-embellished Mackenzie Gown in French plum, the beaded Bianca mermaid gown, or the embroidered long-sleeve Stella Evening Gown.

How to Style a Plum Prom Dress

Gold jewelry warms up plum and mulberry, while silver and crystal give eggplant a cool, bright contrast. Nude heels keep the focus on the gown and lengthen the look; metallic gold or silver heels add shine. Keep the clutch simple, especially with a beaded or embellished bodice.

Mulberry is a berry-toned purple with more red and pink in it. Designers name shades differently, so compare product photos for each gown.

Gold adds warmth and suits plum and mulberry especially well, while silver and crystal give eggplant a cooler, brighter contrast. Let the dress lead: a beaded or crystal bodice needs only simple earrings, while a plain satin gown leaves room for a statement piece.

Plum is one of the most versatile deep shades. Warmer plums and mulberry can flatter warm and olive undertones, while cooler eggplant tones pair nicely with cool undertones. The easiest way to choose is to try a few shades on in natural light.

A black or charcoal suit with a plum tie, bow tie, or pocket square is a classic match. Navy also works with eggplant. For flowers, ivory, blush, or deep berry tones coordinate well with a plum corsage and boutonniere.
