Just last month, Ashley Greene was out celebrating her sultry Maxim cover, now she’s back on the newsstands, with a glammed up look for TeenPROM 2010.
The ”New Moon” star is gracing the cover of the magazine in an elegant purple dress with a bow and embroidery in the front, for a feature story spotlighting her role as spokesperson for DonateMyDress.org, a charity which distributes used prom dresses to underprivileged teens. In the issue, Ashley shares her prom story and dishes out some good advice for the big night. Of course, she also manages to sneak in a few ”Twilight” bits.
The actress, who is no doubt busy prepping to reprise her role as Alice Cullen in ”Eclipse,” the next installment in the ”Twilight” series, got involved with DonateMyDress.org because of her own experience trying to save up for prom.
”I bought my dress and I pretty much paid for everything because my parents really didn’t have the money to pay for something like that. I worked for it, so I think it meant that much more to me because I had to save up,” she tells Prom2010.

In the end, Ashley put together enough to buy a fitted full-length dress with bronze and gold sequins and a plunging neckline (her mom made her cover-up with a shawl). She has since donated the dress to the charity. ”I had my prom dress forever until I became a part of the charity and donated it,” says Ashley. ”It’s amazing to see girls’ faces light up [when given a dress]. It’s really fun because I get to interact with these girls and share the experience with them.”
As for her big night, Ashley says it turned out perfect. ”I went with my high school sweetheart and had a blast. I had that fairytale prom everyone talks about. It’s something I’ll remember forever.”

Now, Ashley’s hoping to help other young girls have their fairytale night with some choice words of advice. ”Definitely plan ahead because the actual day can be kind of stressful. Planning everything out helps a lot,” she says, adding that its also a good idea to pick out a dress you can easily dance and move around in.
Most importantly though, Ashley says it’s key to stay true to your personal style when picking out a dress and makeup — even if you’re tempted to go overboard. ”Be yourself and don’t overdo it. People have a lot of anticipation for an event like prom and end up overdoing it or wearing too much makeup. Really make sure you are comfortable because then you’ll feel beautiful, instead of going overboard and asking yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I do?’”

While charity work seems to be top on the 22-year-old actress’ priority list lately (she recently filmed a PSA to fight global poverty), Ashley also manages to dish some details on what it was like to shoot ”New Moon”. ”With ‘Twilight’, I was just so nervous and new. I didn’t know what to expect,” Ashley tells the magazine. ”With ‘New Moon’, we had [already] portrayed these characters and the fans responded to the movie and loved it.”Also, Alice’s part became more pivotal. I got to do some action, and basically guided Bella through the whole second half of the film. I was so thankful that it happened in the second movie because I’m not sure I could have handled it in the first one.”
One of the things she helped guide Bella through in the first movie? Getting ready for prom, of course! We’ve got a feeling Ash didn’t need much direction when it came to filming that scene…
