Though the skies were threatening before the Scarsdale High School Prom on May 29, nothing could dampen the spirits of the Class of 2025 who turned out in a resplendent display for the red carpet event.
We noted a few trends this year:
First, blue is the new black. Girls wore all shades of navy, aqua, sky and teal, some in shimmering silk and others adorned in sequins. We saw one young lady with locks of blue hair and noted that many of the young men had traded traditional black tuxedos for navy suits.
Cultural or traditional gowns were in. This year, a number of young women wore saris and we spotted others in Asian silks as well.
Gowns in solid jewel tones remained popular this year. Monochrome gowns in reds, blues, greens and purples ruled the runway.
Also new this year was a colorful fan step and repeat backdrop for photos – it made a great background for vibrant photos of the Class of 2025.
Teachers, administrators, parents, coaches and community members lined the path of the red carpet to cheer the class as they paraded to the coach buses to convey them to the prom at Glen Island in New Rochelle.
Prom Co-Chairs Karen Hogan and Jocelyn Gibian said, "This event couldn't happen without the joint efforts of the administration, the custodians, and the PTA. It was a joy to see the seniors all decked out in their gowns and tuxedos. And we were so glad the weather cooperated!" They thanked Andrea O'Gorman, Ben Sawyer and Luis Magalhaes for their help.
We did our best to capture as many class members as we could – but if you have photos to add to the gallery, please email them to [email protected].
