The Class of 2024 Walks the Red Carpet

In Scarsdale’s own version of the Met Gala, the Class of 2024 with dates and friends turned out in formal attire for the Red Carpet event before the Scarsdale Prom on Thursday night May 30, 2024. Crowned by an arch of balloons, the red carpet extended the length of the north parking lot of Scarsdale High School to accommodate the parade of excited students headed for the much anticipated prom at Glen Island in New Rochelle. Parents, relatives, teachers and friends lined the walkway to see the spectacle and wish the students well.

The weather could not have been better – sunny and warm enough for bare shoulders but not too steamy for formal wear.

What were the trends in prom wear this year? In the crowd we spotted many gowns in solid shimmering colors – reds, pinks, brilliant blues, yellows and greens. Other’s wore tulle gowns sparkling with sequins, and some couples preferred to both wear black or black and white for a more traditional black tie look. Many girls completed the look with metallic or platform sandals. As is the custom, senior girls wore long gowns while underclassman sported short dresses above the knee. Not everyone went the usual way to secure a gown. One young lady reported that her uncle, who is a dress designer in Barcelona, made her a custom gown. Another said that she was unable to find what she wanted and her mother sewed her gown for her.

Hair was loose, long and curled.

It was a long day for many of the partygoers, who started out with hair and makeup in the morning, then onto pre-prom gatherings for photos, followed by the red carpet event, the bus ride to Glen Island and a night of dancing and dinner.
