Hot Looks for a Cool Season: Colette's Homecoming Dress Edit

Summer may be heating up, but homecoming is just around the corner - and it’s never too early to lock in a look that turns heads. Whether you’re already planning your color palette or just browsing for inspo, Colette by Daphne is here to bring you the hottest trends for a cool, confident entrance this fall.

From dazzling sparkle to bold cutouts and trend-setting silhouettes, this is your go-to guide for finding the perfect homecoming dress - because when the season changes, your style should make a statement.

The Return of Sparkle
Fall doesn’t mean your shine should fade. In fact, homecoming 2025 is all about the glam. Think full sequin fits, glitter tulle, and beaded bodices that catch the light with every move. Pair your glitzy look with metallic heels and a sleek ponytail for a polished, party-ready vibe.

Dress to love: Style CL8630 brings the sparkle in a major way. With its shimmering cracked ice fabric, sequin detailing, and lace-up corset bodice, this mermaid gown is the ultimate glow-up. The plunging V-neckline and sleeveless silhouette add even more drama for a look that’s ready to light up the night.

 

Bold Colors
Classic black is always in, but this season is giving major color crush energy. From fiery reds to jewel-toned emeralds and electric cobalt blues, bold hues are dominating dance floors everywhere. Want to stand out in the crowd? Go for an unexpected pop like fuchsia or deep tangerine.

Dress to love: Make a vibrant statement in Style CL8010, a turquoise showstopper made from glitter tulle and allover lace. The sweetheart neckline and lace-up back bring the romance, while the A-line silhouette and thigh-high slit keep things fresh and flirty.

 

Cutouts + Corsets
Nothing says “main character energy” like a fitted mini with a lace-up back or daring side cutouts. Corset-style tops not only add structure but also give you that ultra-flattering shape. Add in sheer mesh, illusion panels, or lace-up details, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts edgy and elegant.

Dress to love: Style CL8100 is a lilac dream with the ultimate confidence boost. The corset bodice, lace-up back, and bold slit bring the edge, while the novelty lace and tulle soften the look just enough. Bonus: it even has pockets.

 

Pretty in Pastels
Who says soft shades are just for spring? Light lilac, icy pink, and pale blues bring a romantic touch to your homecoming style and pair perfectly with dreamy details like ruffles, lace, or off-the-shoulder sleeves.

Dress to love: Style CL8660 channels modern fairytale vibes in lilac organza with delicate lace appliqué. The strapless sweetheart neckline and flowing A-line silhouette create a soft, ethereal look, while the slit and corset bodice give it just the right amount of drama.

 

Luxe LBDs 
You can never go wrong with a little black dress - but Colette's take on the LBD brings drama in all the right ways. From velvet textures and feather trims to unexpected slits and asymmetrical necklines, these aren’t your average basics.

Dress to love: Sleek and sultry, Style CL8300 redefines the classic LBD in stretch sequin fabric with a sculpting sheath silhouette. The strapless curved neckline and lace-up back add interest, while the side slit makes it totally dance-floor ready. It’s timeless with a twist - and totally unforgettable.
