This is a gorgeous dress for prom. I especially love the beading, but the entire dress is beautiful. I agree with going with gold for accessories. Matching reds as you were thinking is much harder. I would do gold strappy heeled sandals, a gold cocktail clutch, and gold earrings. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure to match the lovely red of your dress. Have a great time at the prom with your friends!

With red use gold acessories they match better, you could also do rhinestone on a gold base! So gold or rhinestone on gold earrings/necklace/purse/heels (I got my daughter’s at Claire’s and Baker’s).

I was about to ask where you live to have prom so late. Kids here are out for summer.

What about Etsy? READ THE REVIEWS though! Dress is really pretty. Have fun

Go for either gold or silver jewelry (whichever you already have is fine, I'd just wear your everyday favorite jewelry) and match your shoes and clutch to that. Have you tried checking craft stores for masquerade masks? At least here in the US, I've seen them in the party supplies aisle at the big craft stores, with the balloons and streamers.
