Hi y’all! Today I’m sharing 30 of the best black tie and formal dresses under $100!
I made this same post a while ago, I’ll link it here. You guys loved it! So I thought I’d recreate it with double the amount finds 🙂
If you’re looking for a chic and affordable gown to wear to a wedding, gala, prom, or whatever other special occasion you might have coming up, this is the perfect post for you!


If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that Lulus is my favorite place to find cute and very affordable occasion dresses.
You also might know that I’m a huge fan of Rent The Runway! I used RTR a ton in high school and throughout college and I’ve always had an amazing experience renting with them. I also know for a fact it’s the biggest bang for your buck — especially if you need a formal or black tie gown. I actually currently have a code LOUISERTR and this gets you 40% off the 8 or 16 item membership plan! So if you have a bunch of fabulous events lined up, I would definitely recommend checking out RTR.
Check out this post to see some of the items I’ve rented from RTR in the past!
Don’t forget that I have a Wedding Guest Dress tab on my website where I house allll of the wedding guest dresses I’ve ever shared!
Thanks for reading!
