The "Laura Marano" collection by Sherri Hill is inspired by Laura's personal style and her prom expertise. Laura attended her junior and senior proms, a friend's senior prom, and a prom on the set of Austin & Ally.

Marano also joins a high-profile list of A-list teen Sherri Hill spokes models such as fellow Disney stars Bella Thorne and Ryan Newman, as well as dancing with the stars runner up Sadie Robertson.

"Laura was so much fun to work with!" said lead designer and creative powerhouse Sherri Hill. "With the adorable selfies she snapped on the day of the photo shoot, she really made the dresses come to life. I am so excited to showcase our well-curated collaboration to both the fashion world and aspiring teen girls who look up to Marano as a role model."
