How can I accessorize a long sleeved, deep open back, tight fitting, long dress for my prom?

With the last year of high school coming to an end soon, I have had to start thinking about PROM and what I want to wear. I know everyone always wears the same strapless or one shoulder dresses, so I wanted to be different. I have opted for a long sleeved, deep open back, tight fitting, long dress. (Inspiration came from Angelina Jolie's green long sleeved dress) I'm 5'10'' with a tan complexion, and an athletic build as I play sports. I wanted to ask you, what you guys think of this option for the dress. I am hoping to find a navy blue option, but do you guys feel the color is wrong or that I should go for another color? Also, how should I accessorize the dress, as I am trying to go for an elegant, yet sexy vibe. Opinion on shoes, jewelry and hair would be much appreciated. My hair is mid- back dark brown, all one length. And most of all, do you think the dress I chose is appropraite for PROM? THANKSSSSS SO MUCH GUYS!
