7 Stunning Homecoming Dresses Under $150
Homecoming is one of the most exciting nights of the year—a chance to dress up, make memories with friends, and dance until your feet are sore. The right dress can set the tone for your entire night, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to be perfect.
At Trend Formals, we’ve rounded up seven gorgeous homecoming dresses under $150 that bring the perfect mix of style, comfort, and personality. Whether you love all-out sparkle or sleek simplicity, we’ve got a look you’ll fall for.
1. Try a Unique Neckline for a Standout Look
When it comes to homecoming style, the neckline can completely change the vibe of your outfit. Choosing something unexpected—like an asymmetrical strap, halter, or wrap detail—instantly sets your look apart from the classic strapless or V-neck designs. A distinctive neckline draws attention upward, frames your face, and adds personality without the need for heavy embellishment.
This soft yellow mini features a one-shoulder neckline with a wrapped scarf detail that ties the whole look together. The ruched bodycon fit keeps it sleek and flattering, while the unique neckline ensures you’ll stand out in every photo.
Pair it with neutral heels and a clutch for a clean finish, or add bold earrings to play up the modern design.
2. Choose a Flared Skirt for Movement
There’s a reason the skater dress has never gone out of style—it’s fun, flattering, and made for dancing. The fitted bodice creates a beautiful shape up top, while the flared A-line skirt adds just the right amount of bounce with every step. Red satin makes it even better, adding a richness that feels timeless and celebratory. Whether you’re posing for group photos or spinning around on the dance floor, this style has maximum twirl potential.

3. Opt for Iridescent Sequins for Added Dimension
If you’re the type who loves sparkle, why settle for just one color? Iridescent sequins take the shine up a notch by shifting shades as you move. The result? A dynamic, eye-catching effect that looks incredible in both photos and real life. In a warm peachy-pink tone, this dress blends playful charm with high-impact glam. The open-back detail is the perfect finishing touch, giving it just a hint of drama from behind.

4. Keep It Fresh with White
White for homecoming? Absolutely. It’s crisp, modern, and unexpected in the best way. The sequins add texture and dimension, so it’s anything but plain, and the sweetheart neckline adds a soft, feminine touch. White also works as a blank canvas, giving you endless ways to accessorize—silver for a sleek, icy vibe, gold for warmth, or bright colors for a bold contrast.

If your homecoming style is all about glamour, this sequin stunner is the way to go. Covered in shimmering blue sequins, it catches the light with every step—guaranteeing you’ll be the star of the dance floor. The plunging neckline adds a touch of drama, while the ruched detailing along the skirt creates a flattering, body-hugging fit that moves with you. It’s equal parts playful and chic, perfect for making an entrance and keeping all eyes on you throughout the night.

6. Choose Ruching for a Flattering Fit
Ruching is one of those design details that works quietly behind the scenes to make you look amazing. It smooths, shapes, and adds texture, all while keeping the overall look sleek and simple. In vibrant royal blue, this mini offers a pop of color that feels fresh and modern. It’s versatile enough to style up with statement jewelry or down with minimal accessories, depending on your vibe for the night.

7. Try Cutouts for a Modern Look
Cutouts are a fashion-forward way to add personality to a dress without overloading it with details. This navy mini balances a trendy twist-front bodice with side cutouts, creating a look that’s daring but still refined. The strapless neckline keeps things streamlined, letting the cutouts be the star of the show. It’s the perfect option if you want something that feels fresh, unique, and just a little bit unexpected.
