The online retailer was going for "rebellious," and we'd say mission definitely accomplished.

Let's put it this way: Barry definitely got lei'd that night (I mean, this was Hawaii in the '70s, after all). Now to dissect his look:

We've yet to enter a Target collaboration launch party that didn't instantly make us smile, and last night's soirée for stylist Kate Young's new eveningwear collection was no exception. In fact, we're kind of still smiling about it. "There's a little bit of a showgirl and a drag queen in me and I think that it's much more fun to do [evening wear] than make a bunch of black pants," Young told us of the collection.

With prom season upon us, we've been looking at the dresses from all different angles: What to wear, what not to wear, how to get the look. For most celebrities, however, this routine is nothing new. Getting dolled up for a night of partying and red carpet stomping is just another part of the job--however, for young Hollywood actresses the routine is slightly different since they have designers clamoring to dress them. We can't imagine that any of the current hot young things are tired of getting dressed up just yet, so we've decided to dress a few of our favorite starlets (of a certain high school-ish age--we know some of them are over 18...) for prom in some looks from spring and fall. Click through for a prom we are very interested in attending.

When we reported on the elaborate prom rules that several American high schools were enforcing, we assumed the school staff was being dramatic. We asked ourselves: Are teen girls really wearing navel-exposing prom dresses? Are they really wearing Dancing with the Stars-type gowns? Are there that many high school boys wearing canes to prom to necessitate a rule? (The answers: yes, yes, and yes) After a quick perusal of the many prom dress sites out there, we realized they weren't being dramatic at all: There is a huge amount of appallingly inappropriate (and just plain ugly) prom dresses out there. And if they're being produced, they're probably being purchased. And worn to prom. From up-to-there slits, to belly tops (seriously), it's truly shocking the amount of skanky crap that's actually being designed and marketed as prom dresses. For teenage girls. Weirdest of all, despite all evidence to the contrary, these frocks don't even come cheap: Some of them will set you back as much as $800. So ladies, consider this a PSA: Please do not spend $800 on a diamond-bedazzled, slit-to-there, plunging v-neck monstrosity. You'll thank us when you're going through your prom pictures a few years later, trust us.

The imminence of prom season means we've been inundated with an array of press releases on the subject, one of which actually grabbed our attention

For most of us, our earliest memories of Prom happened on the big screen. Movies like Pretty in Pink, Carrie and Never Been Kissed (depending on your age) all probably played at least a minor role in your expectations of the big night. And while some of those expectations may have been a wee misguided (we've never heard of a high school simultaneously breaking out into perfectly choreographed dance routines, for instance...) there's one area that the movies do offer some valid inspiration for: The wardrobes From Bella Swan's classy teal gown, to Romy and Michelle's hilarious Desperately Seek Susan outfits, relive some of the movie's best prom outfits--and how you can update them for today.

It's prom season, and even if it's been, um, a long time since you've freaked out thought about prom, for high school students (and their parents' wal

Dress codes are not uncommon, but, as we've learned, they can sometimes be a little crazy. The high school ritual of prom has changed quite a bit s

We all know there's been a ton of rumors lately that Richie Rich and Traver Rains are walking on separate yellow brick roads these days, but some rece

I've always meant to donate my prom dresses to someone or some organization. But I never know where or how, so my closet still houses one long, red go
