Molly Ringwald hated her ‘Pretty in Pink’ prom dress

You could pretty much call Molly Ringwald late filmmaker John Hughes’ muse.

The teen comedy queen, now 56, starred in a mélange of Hughes’ films of the 1980s, including “The Breakfast Club,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Pretty in Pink.”

While the fashions of the decade were wild with big hair and neon colors, Ringwald, however, wasn’t too fond of the famous prom dress she had to don for “Pretty in Pink.”

Hughes — who died in 2009 at age 59 — penned the script for the 1986 coming-of-age flick.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the “Riverdale” alum looked back on her famous ensembles for the outlet’s “Fashion Flashback” series.

Despite her character Andie Walsh’s “iconic” frock, the actress admitted that she actually “really hated it at the time.”

“It was not really what I had envisioned,” she said. “I cried. I burst into tears.”

As viewers remember, Andie’s dress — which was designed by Marilyn Vance — was full of pink satin, puffy sleeves, lace and an array of polka dots.

The “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” star joked: “No one can really look good in this dress. This is not a very flattering dress.”

In “Pretty in Pink,” middle-class student Andie is a budding designer who creates her own clothes. Her wardrobe — obviously full of pink and more pink — falls in love with rich kid Blane McDonough (Andrew McCarthy).

“Considering that Andie was supposed to be this great fashion designer, I thought maybe she should have pursued something else,” Ringwald continued.

“I kept everything from this movie with the exception of the dress, and it’s too bad I would love it now,” she dished. “If you can look good in this dress, you can look good in everything.”

Howard Deutch directed the film, with Jon Cryer, James Spader, Annie Potts and Harry Dean Stanton rounding out the cast.

The “Kissing Booth” star took a walk down memory lane about her time as a young ’80s film star last year.

She told the Guardian how she fears that she may be stuck with her past image of “this perfect, sweet American girl next door” for the rest of her life.

“Which wasn’t me, but I was figuring out who I was, too. I was pretty young,” she said at the time.

“There will be some people who will always see me that way, until I do something that’s as big as one of those movies — and it would be pretty hard to top those in terms of box office.”
