All eyes have been on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as the most publicized date on the 2018 calendar finally came: the 2018 Royal Wedding! The two love birds finally married on May 19, 2018, a Saturday, which went against tradition, as royal weddings are usually held on a weekday. That's no surprise, since there has been many aspects of Prince Harry and Meghan's engagement and marriage that has gone against tradition.

It was announced on the morning of the wedding that the Queen has conferred a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. As a result, Prince Harry is His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Meghan has become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.

The marriage took place in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, with Prince Harry and Meghan becoming the sixteenth royal couple to celebrate their marriage at the castle since 1863.

Of course, the moment we were waiting for was to see Meghan's beautiful wedding dress! She looked like a true princess, and Duchess, in her totally classic and classy white wedding dress, especially with a prince by her side! We're pretty sure this means Disney is real...  Continue reading →

With a new year means that it's time for Awards Season! Yesterday, Sunday January 8, 2017 marked the HFPA's 74th Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the night was so much fun, from the red carpet to the awards show. The ceremony honored the best in film and television from 2016 and took place at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. This year, Jimmy Fallon hosted, and awards were given out for all types of movies and shows, from "La La Land" to "The Crown." Meryl Streep even received a lifetime achievement award!

But, that's enough on the actual event. It's time to get to the good stuff: the red carpet, of course! With prom season just around the corner, the Golden Globes red carpet is a prime place for prom dress ideas, and the 2017 Golden Globes certainly didn't disappoint.

While there were so many prom perfect trends on the red carpet, from plunging necklines to sparkly sequins, there were two celebrities that absolutely blew us away with their dresses. Those two celebrities were Lily Collins and Lola Kirke! They both gave off absolute princess vibes in their pink ball gowns, and we couldn't be more obsessed. See what they wore below and how you can rock their looks for prom.

Lily Collins at the 2017 Golden Globes

All we can say is OMG! Actress and model Lily Collins knows how to walk a red carpet in style with her beautifully elegant pink lace ball gown. She topped it off perfectly for a classic princess look with dark red lipstick.

Get Lily's elegant pink princess look with Sherri Hill 50844. This ball gown features a fitted, satin bodice that has an illusion plunge neckline, sheer modesty panel, and U-shaped back. The tiered, lace, a-line skirt is cinched with a beaded waistband, totally reminiscent of a classic storybook romance, just like Lily's dress.  Continue reading →

It's finally down to only one 2016 Prom Princess spot left. It was such a hard choice - every single girl looked gorgeous in their prom dress, and we loved all of the testimonials! But, it ultimately came down to only being able to choose one more Prom Princess. So, without further adieu, we're excited to announce that our fifth and final Prom Princess is Kailey Gober!

We are obsessed with her gorgeous prom look, in Sherri Hill 50333! The black dress with pink and red accenting couldn't be more stunning, and we love that her date matched the style of the dress with his suit and boutonniere. Floral perfection!

When Kailey entered our Prom Queen Contest, she shared this message:

"I can't thank Rissy Roo's enough for finding my perfect gown! I want Sherri Hill and no one in my area carries it! I wanted something totally different from everyone's strictly beaded gowns my school wears. My mom found Rissy Roo's online and emailed the store. Marissa helped her with two dresses and emailed when the one I wanted became available. The ordering was easy, shipping was fast, and the customer service was wonderful. I can't wait to shop for next year's prom! Thank you Rissy Roo's for making my prom perfect!"

As a Prom Princess, Kailey won a $50 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com, and she'll also get to compete starting today in the final stage of our contest - to be crowned our 2016 Prom Queen! Everyone can vote for our Prom Queen on our Facebook page from 6/17 - 6/27. Just visit our "VOTE: 2016 Rissy Roo's Prom Queen Contest" Facebook Photo Album and get voting.

The Internet basically blew up this week when everyone saw what actress Lily James wore on the red carpet for the premiere of movie Cinderella. With a fairy tale like Cinderella that's all about the dress and shoes that the main character wears, transforming her on the outside into the princess that she is inside, it was of course without question that we were excited to see what the actress who plays Cinderella, Lily, would wear for the premiere of her film. But, with red carpet looks rarely ever holding the theme of the movie or event, we weren't holding our breath. Much to our (happy) surprise, Lily James looked exactly like Cinderella walking the red carpet for the premiere of the Disney movie! Check her out in all her beauty below!

The beautifully adorned dress dress by Elie Saab had Lily looking like she should be floating in the air! This red carpet look truly shows that she is Cinderella and makes us so excited to see the film. Plus, she wore Christian Louboutin high heels that basically looked like glass slippers. Could the outfit be any more perfect? Oh wait.. it can be... She even accessorized with a clock purse by Charlotte Olympia! Because... when the clock strikes midnight...

Lily James' red carpet look was so perfect from every aspect! Since it's such a unique dress (and accessories), this is one that's hard to copy for prom. But, we have your back! While there isn't an exact prom dress that mimics Lily's look, there are a few that take cues from it. And, there are even some shoes and purses that take cues from Lily's outfit! Check them all out below.

Dresses

Mac Duggal 62062 Long Sleeve Lace Evening Gown

Mac Duggal 62062 has lace applique embellishments and a modest bateau neckline that makes it so elegant and feel like it came right out of a fairy tale.
