I have red hair, green eyes, very fair skin, freckles on my arms and chest, but none on my face.
What color prom dress should I get beside black, brown, and white?

When I went to my Junior prom I wore this great teal dress and for my senior prom I went with a classic emerald green. I was so hesitant at first, since everyone said "oh wear green, you will look amazing" (I'm very Irish so we are similar in coloring) Once I actually went and looked at green dresses and tried them on, ohh wow, I fell in love with it! Any shade in the green family looks spectacular on you. As do shades of blue and blue/greens. Some picture examples:

This is crazy! I'm wondering the same thing...although I only dye my hair red. It looks really natural on me because I have pale skin and green eyes...I got a red dress and I'm hoping it looks alright with my hair. I would say go with a purple dress. It complements green eyes and makes them very bright! Try and stay away from colors that are like bright orangy pink colors. I tried a dress on once that was a weird shade of orange and it made my hair look very gray almost! Well good luck and have a great time at your prom!

I have a thing for redhead. Definetely Dark green and Gold.
Irish Colors. Of the choices. Definetely not white. Black goes with everyone. Depend on the brown. Redheair goes well with Earth(Autumn) colors. I think brown is ok for you everyday, not something special like a prom. You want something you'll be really noticed.

You're sssooo lucky!! :) I would try some sort of deep blue or green to start off with!! Don't try to match your eye color perfectly. A pale pink or even bronze dress would be awesome, too. Marcia Cross is a red head with great fashion sense!

I work for teen vouge and I just saw some great dresses for red heads. One was a very cute teal dress and the other was a beautiful green dress. These would both go great with wour skin and the green would match your eyes. Trust me it will look great on you!

Green is a gorgeous color on redheads. Any shade, but particularly light green or emerald green...with shoes to match.

As a fellow redhead, choose Emerald Green, or darker greens, blues (navy, midnight, teal) ivory looks good on us as well. Don't go with yellows, oranges, or pinks.

Green, it would look great on you and bring out your green eyes. If not green then maybe a deep red.

Definitely emerald green! Go with an Irish theme-it always looked good on them!

Green. Green looks SOOOOO pretty on people with red hair. It doesn't even matter what shade of green; it will most likely look gorgeous no matter what shade.
