Creating your prom is completely optional in The Sims 4. You can simply turn up to the event that is automatically set by the calendar. Or you can craft your event ahead of time. To do so, enter build/buy mode and re-decorate the Auditorium to your liking.
Make sure that you set the lot type as a 'Formal Dance' so that the changes you make only take effect during the prom event.
So far the Auditorium in Copperdale seems to be the only venue able to hold a prom, although you can change the shape and look of the building as you see fit.
The Sims 4: How To Make A Promposal

About a week before the prom event, you'll receive the option to make promposals. To do so, select on your sim, then the 'Prom' option, and press 'Create Promposal Sign'
Once crafted it will remain in your sim's inventory until you select a sim you wish to present it to. Unless you have an established relationship with the sim, it will likely fail leading to some embarrassment. Select the sim, then the 'Prom' option, then press 'Present Promposal Sign'.
The quality of your promposal is determined by your painting skill. The higher your painting skill the higher quality of the promposal. If you present a high-quality promposal to your selected sim they may gain the 'Impressed by Promposal' sentiment.
As prom nears, a prom tab will appear as an option when selecting other teens, with this tab you can opt to ask a friend to prom 'as friends' rather than take a date.
You can also make a pact with another sim to 'promise to skip prom together' if you're feeling rebellious. If this pact is fulfilled both sims gain the 'Close from Ditching Prom Together' sentiment. If a sim chooses to go to prom after making the pact, they gain the sentiment 'Guilty about Broken Prom Pact' and the other sim will gain the 'Bitter about Broken Prom Pact' sentiment.

To get elected as prom royalty you need to complete the prom goals in the top left of the screen and achieve a gold level event. You'll have to be focused to d so as prom only lasts from 7 pm to 11 pm but the award ceremony takes place around 9 pm. This means you have little time to dawdle if you want to secure that crown.
For reaching gold in the prom event, you get a vintage gramophone, found within the household inventory.
If you win either prom jester or royalty, this will unlock the prom jester hat and prom crown as wearable items in create-a-sim.
