Here is a useful E-how article that may help you figure out what to wear under your cap and gown. You should wear cocktail dresses, slacks/skirt, and a blouse/nice shirt. Avoid wearing jeans and t-shirts.
Keep in mind the gown is black so you don't need to worry about certain colors showing through.
No one will see what you are wearing under your cap and gown during the ceremony. What you wear underneath will be most relevant before and after the ceremony. When in doubt, ask your parents/guardians what they want to see you wearing for the slew of family pictures.
