Prom is the year's most spectacular social event! The one evening when high schoolers' dreams will come true; the first dance with your crush; the awesome dresses and decorations; and the chance to feel special or have it all go up in smoke.

Whatever happens, one thing is certain about prom: you must look your absolute best. And this young man, Korben, delivered!

When he was 12, he dreamed of wearing a dress to prom. His dream came true when he donned a stunning red gown and made everyone exclaim.

His beautiful smile and persona shone brighter than all the sequins combined. His classmates cheered him on, and his mother, Nina Green, shared the fabulous look in a now-viral tweet that received more than 127K likes.

Korben has been wearing dresses since he was four years old, and at the age of twelve, he dreamed of wearing a gown to prom. His dream came true four years later.

Korben told the media that it was crucial not only for his own self-expression but also to inspire others. "I didn't want to be anything other than myself at prom," he explained.

He believes that he should be able to express himself freely, and he had a great time and felt fantastic about it. He hoped that everyone else would feel comfortable and confident in what they were wearing, regardless of how the public perceived it.

This 16-year-old boy named Korben finally fulfilled his dream of wearing a gown to prom

He wore an outfit that was inspired by Billy Porter and had a red sequined jacket top, a matching full skirt, red lipstick, and a sparkling crown

When Korben arrived at prom, he received nothing but praise from his peers, and as soon as he got out of the car, everyone cheered, and he was crying, and some of the teachers were in tears, because he was being himself. Everyone was very encouraging, and his year group was fantastic.

Billy Porter, an American actor, singer, and writer whose style has been pushing boundaries on red carpets for years, served as inspiration for the design. For him, it was a dream come true.

“As soon as he got out of the car, everyone just cheered"
