The Office's Ellie Kemper Wears a Sparkly Prom Dress: Gotta Have It or Make It Stop?

Is the actress confusing the red carpet with the 21 Jump Street prom?

Is this strapless dress, worn by our favorite TV receptionist, The Office's Ellie Kemper, sparkly chic? Or did the 21 Jump Street actress forget that her time in high school is over?

We love the shimmer of this embellished gown with its tulle overlay and Ellie's long, wavy hair does combat the formal feel. Because we suspect if she'd gone with an updo, the look would have been one corsage away from prom-wear.

Maybe Ellie is just reliving her glory days?

But what's your take? Fun and frilly or best reserved for the Senior High Winter Formal?
