Strapless Prom Dresses

How do styles change for formal dresses for a young woman between high school prom and college formal outings?

I'm 20 and in college. If I'm considering buying a formal dress (or two) for my college year formals, how should that dress be different from I wore to the prom in high school? My prom dress was pink, strapless, floor length, slightly poofy ballgown.

You want something more sophisticated but most importantly something you feel comfortable in. I also agree with darker colors. You can't go wrong with at least one sexy black dress. You would also want something a little less extravagant (not totally sequined dresses). Strapless and floor length is fine but I would stay away from the poofy ballgowns.
