Michigan State University’s Honors College held their annual ball last Friday — this year with a space theme — and the fashion was out of this world. Students broke out outfits from previous dances, DIY-ed their looks and represented their cultures while dancing under the cellophane stars.
Anthropology and economics freshman Emma Nicolaysen borrowed a vintage dress from her roommate, which she said was powder blue and had a “very 50s housewife kind of a vibe.”
The tea-length dress had a fitted bodice and a light cape that fell over Nicolaysen’s shoulders. It had a charming Peter Pan collar, and she paired the dress with a quirky pair of converse wedges.
“It also stands out in it’s own way, and everyone wants to be doing that with their clothes,” Nicolaysen said.
Animal science freshman Zachary Stebbins said he defines his personal style aesthetic as simplistic.
“I try not to have too many colors,” Stebbins said. “I like my outfit to blend together.”
