In a bright red skirt and a sequined tuxedo top that matches his scarlet hair, 16-year-old Korben White made waves on the internet with his prom dress.
After his mom Nina Green’s viral post of him all dressed up for prom, some woke supporters praised his gown, while others bashed it, saying it shows a parenting “flop” in allowing this.
When Korben was 12, he told his mom he wanted to go to prom in a dress.
In 2022, four years after that, the teen, a sassy drag queen named Miss Frou Frou, pulled it off.
Green told the BBC about her son’s idea. “He wanted to be himself and show his feminine side—tux on top, dress on bottom, inspired by Billy Porter. He wanted to be Korben in a dress.”
