Hairstyle covered in elaborate nets for prom (8)
I believe the answer is:
seafront
'prom' is the definition.
(promenade by the sea)
'hairstyle covered in elaborate nets' is the wordplay.
'hairstyle' becomes 'afro' (type of hairstyle).
'covered in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'elaborate' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'nets' is an anagram of 'sent'.
'afro' inserted into 'sent' is 'SEAFRONT'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for seafront that I've seen before include "promenade" , "that's where the waves come in" , "No faster (anag)" , "Prom?" .)
