Properly posh prom dresses your teen will love
For a teenager, what to wear to prom can feel like one of the most defining choices of the year — often unhelpfully coming just as exams have drained their mental energy. Sure, GCSEs and A-Levels are important, but it's hard to underplay the sheer joy of swanning out onto the dance floor in the perfect dress. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue In the past, the aim was to channel princess vibes in layers of tulle, ballerina-style skirts and sickly pink colours. However, intel from the teenage daughters of our trusted editors reveals things are a lot more slinky in 2025. Those winning the title of Best Dressed at any event this summer are likely to be wearing 1990s-inspired bias-cut slip dresses undoubtedly influenced by the Olsen twins' The Row and the quiet luxury trend. For mothers who cherish tradition, however, the Regency revival continues thanks to the influence of Bridgerton. Elegant gowns, sequin embellishments and voluminous ruffles courtesy of Zimmermann, Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead will never look out of place at prom. Make no mistake, the pressure on prom is perpetual but to make things easier we've rounded up the best luxury prom dresses below — guaranteed to please even the most discerning of teens. Blame the Olsen twins and their quiet luxury brand The Row, but Gen Z are far more likely to be found in a bias-cut satin gown than a princess skirt this prom season. Luckily Galvan is the king of the minimalist silhouette. The brand's Sienna style is defined by a full length hemline, elegant high neckline and sophisticated scarf detail to the back, and available in light blue, burnt orange and bronze satin. £1,495, Galvan at Net-a-Porter Another bias cut beauty, Australian designer Rebecca Vallance's electric blue slip dress features an elegant cowl neck but is still school soirée appropriate thanks to the delicate lace underlay which acts like a little camisole beneath. £770, Rebecca Vallance at Net-a-Porter Norma Kamali's red satin gown turns to reveal a delicately draped, low cowl back. While it looks fiddly, a near invisible strap sits along the very top of the back keeping everything in place. The fishtail hemline adds beautiful movement too. £445, Norma Kamali at Net-a-Porter Although a less is more approach seems to be popular with teens of late, if you're going to wear a pearl-adorned dress at any time in your life it should really be to prom. Inspired by the La Peregrina pearl, worn by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Rebecca Vallance's gown features a studded halterneck bodice, fitted waist and full length skirt. £1,170, Rebecca Vallance at Harrods A black prom dress is a timeless choice – one your teen is unlikely to regret when they look back on photographs decades later. The perfect combination of cool and classic, this Giambattista Valli romantic dress is crafted from a weighty cotton poplin and has a tulle skirt underlay to create a flared shape. The floral-appliques all around the neckline and corset-style bodice are a pretty touch too. £1,914, Giambattista Valli at Mytheresa The epitome of prom, this Carolina Herrera strapless gown is perfect for those with a penchant for princess silhouettes. It has been carefully crafted using twenty layers of striking red tulle and features subtle crystal embellishments across the bodice. The drop waist and cropped hem keep things feeling modern. £3,969, Carolina Herrera at Mytheresa Costarellos knows how to make tulle cool. The Athens-based brand takes inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and culture to create its unique evening wear. Crafted from alternating tiers of French tulle and Chantilly lace, this Trissa style was made to be worn to a ball. £1,704, Costarellos at Mytheresa Royal-approved brand Emilia Wickstead's Abella embellished dress demonstrates the contemporary appeal of sequins in 2025. In the place of the standard sparkly stuff there's clever constructed floral appliques in clusters framing the neckline. Crafted from bonded satin this structured prom dress has a classic fit and flare shape that alludes to vintage 1950s styles while feeling distinctly modern £2,400, Emilia Wickstead at Mytheresa Featuring a corseted, shirred bodice and pretty flower petal details on the adjustable, tie-bow straps, Zimmermann's lilac dress is perfect for the hotter, summer months. While some prom dresses cut from satin tend to cling in the heat, this lightweight silk linen organza is both structured and flowing. £1,120, Zimmermann at Mytheresa This Valentino Garavani prom dress — which has been cut using a weighty silk gazar to emphasize its beautiful structure — looks like it's been taken straight from a scene in Bridgerton. Opt for a sleek updo to showcase the ruffled one-shoulder neckline. £2,402, Valentino Garavani at The Outnet The Times Luxury is brought to you by the award-winning team behind the Times Luxx magazine.

I've made thousands touting Oasis tickets and I don't feel guilty
I've made thousands touting Oasis tickets and I don't feel guilty 'It is purely a middle-class problem that you can't go and see a band you like,' the tout told us Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher (Image: WireImage ) A tout has boasted of profiting thousands from flogging Oasis tickets at inflated prices — without a single pang of guilt. Since the Britpop legends' reunion tour was announced last year, there has been a feverish clamour for tickets. Touts, of course, have not hesitated to cash in, many of them demanding exorbitant figures from fans desperate to see the beloved rockers. One Welsh tout agreed to speak to WalesOnline on the condition of anonymity, revealing the amount he's raked in from Oasis' comeback and his justifications for his "side hustle". The tout (we'll call him Jim) has sold 24 tickets for the tour, which kicked off on Friday at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. You can read our coverage of the night here. Jim is, to put it mildly, not a charmer. When we ask how much he has been selling Oasis tickets for, he brands the seemingly straightforward question "stupid", adding: "It depends on when you sell them, where the tickets are and who you're selling them to." After some coaxing, he explains he bought the 24 tickets in the initial sale, spending between £75 and £200 on each, and then made a total profit of around £5,000, using resale websites like StubHub and Viagogo. "The process to sell them on is fairly straightforward," says Jim. "Just stick them on a website and people buy them, or stick a message into a WhatsApp group and people will reply." Article continues below Does he not feel guilty? "Not at all. We live in a capitalist society. I am not taking away anything anyone needs to survive — these tickets are a luxury." He adds: "Do you think supermarkets feel bad ripping off farmers for produce and then charging us extortionate prices for things we cannot live without?" In news that is unlikely to shock you, Jim does not think legislation is needed to clamp down on touting. He tells us: "It is purely a middle-class problem that you can't go and see a band you like. I think [legislation] is a complete waste of time." But aren't people like Jim pricing working-class people out of culture by hoovering up tickets and charging huge amounts? "Just supply and demand," he replies. "I'm priced out of a business-class flight because I can't afford it." Jim does not think he is so different to Ticketmaster, which came under fire for the original Oasis sale in which standard standing tickets went from being advertised at £135 plus fees to being re-labelled "in demand" and costing £355 plus fees. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) later said Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law by selling "platinum" tickets for almost 2.5 times the standard price without explaining they carried no extra benefits. After the watchdog ordered Ticketmaster to change the way it labels tickets, the US firm said it "welcomed the CMA's input". Ticketmaster's UK director Andrew Parsons told MPs earlier this year: "We don't change prices in any automated or algorithmic way." Jim claims: "Ticketmaster's 'dynamic pricing' is no different from what I did. So much criticism on me making a few quid as a side hustle when Ticketmaster can say tickets are £200 then sell them for £400 after people were queueing [online] for four hours." How much does Jim make from touting in a year? He declines to answer, though he says the aim is always to double his investment. His biggest return on a ticket has been 1,850%. Touting is not Jim's main income stream, though he says: "It did help while I was unemployed for a number of months due to the s*** job market." He has not thought about quitting his job and living off touting because "it's too unpredictable and there's no real satisfaction". Jim is not worried by the UK Government's plans to curb bulk-buying of tickets for profit by capping the price of resale tickets. The proposed cap — which could be anywhere from face value to 30% higher — would apply to tickets across the live events industry from sport and music to stand-up and theatre. "I'm not concerned," says Jim. "If the Government cracks down I'll just stop doing it. It's a side hustle, just a nice profit on the side." Article continues below According to analysis by the CMA, tickets sold on the resale market are typically marked up by more than 50%. Fans of musicians including Taylor Swift have complained of gig tickets being listed online for thousands of pounds just minutes after the initial sale ended. Government ministers have proposed a limit on the number of tickets that resellers can offer, or the number they can buy in the original sale. They are also considering action on dynamic pricing. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said earlier this year: "We are taking action to strengthen consumer protections, stop fans getting ripped off and ensure money spent on tickets goes back into our incredible live events sector, instead of into the pockets of greedy touts."

Oasis reunion: A high-five and a hug - the gestures were there, but ultimately it was all about the music
Oasis have reunited on stage for the first time in almost 16 years - with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher sharing a high five and the briefest of hugs as they closed a performance that for fans was more than worth the wait. After the split in 2009, for many years Noel said he would never go back - and for a long time, as the brothers exchanged insults through separate interviews (and on social media, for Liam), it seemed pretty unlikely to ever happen. But now, here they are. As they walked out on stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, all eyes were on the Gallaghers for a sense of their relationship - dare we say it, friendship? - now after all these years. There was no reference to their fall-out or making up, but the gestures were there - lifting hands together as they walked out for the first time. Headlines and tweets of speculation and then confirmation of the reunion filled the screens as the show started. "This is happening," said one, repeatedly. In the end, it was all about the music. Liam has received criticism in the past for his voice not being what it once was, but back on stage with his brother tonight he delivered exactly what fans would have hoped for - a raw, steely-eyed performance, snarling vocals, and the swagger that makes him arguably the greatest frontman of his day. This was Oasis sounding almost as good as they ever have. 2:56 They opened with Hello, because of course, "it's good to be back". And then Acquiesce, and those lyrics: "Because we need each other/ We believe in one another." The song is said to be about friendship in the wider sense, rather than their brotherly bond and sibling rivalry, but you can't help but feel like it means something here. Over two hours, they played favourite after favourite - including Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic and Roll With It. In the mid-section, Liam takes his break for Noel to sing Talk Tonight, Half The World Away and Little By Little; the tempo slows but there is by no means a lull, with the fans singing all his words back to him. Liam returns for hits including Stand By Me, Slide Away, Whatever and Live Forever, before sending the crowd wild (or even wilder) with Rock And Roll Star. When the reunion announcement was made last summer, it quickly became overshadowed by the controversy of dynamic pricing causing prices to rocket. As he has done on X before, Liam addressed the issue on stage with a joke. "Was it worth the £4,000 you paid for the ticket?" he shouted at one point. "Yeah," the crowd shouts back; seemingly all is forgiven. After Rock And Roll Star, the dream that very quickly became a reality for this band, Noel introduced the rest of the group, calling Bonehead a "legend". Then he acknowledges all their young fans, some who maybe weren't even born when they split. "This one is for all the people in their 20s who've never seen us before, who've kept this shit going," he says before the encore starts with The Masterplan. Noel follows with Don't Look Back In Anger, and the screens fill with Manchester bees in reference to the arena bombing and how the song became the sound of hope and defiance for the city afterwards. 1:31 During Wonderwall, there's a nice touch as Liam sings to the crowd: "There are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh." It is at the end of Champagne Supernova, which closes the set, that it happens; Noel puts down his guitar, and they come together for a high-five and a back-slap, a blink-and-you'd miss it hug. 0:26 "Right then, beautiful people, this is it," Liam had told the crowd as he introduced the song just a few minutes earlier. "Nice one for putting up with us over the years." From the roar of the audience, it's safe to say most people here would agree it's been worth it.
