Florida High School’s Magical “Once Upon A Time” Prom Goes Insanely Viral
The internet is completely captivated by the wildly creative prom looks from students at Booker T. Washington High School in Miami. Their “Once Upon A Time: Does The Shoe Fit?” themed prom on May 11th was like a storybook fairytale come to life.
These high schoolers did not come to play games – they went all out channeling Disney royalty, classic fables, and iconic movie characters with their extravagant ensembles. We’re talking elaborate gowns, handsome prince charmings, even horse-drawn freaking carriages! This was Met Gala levels of haute couture happening at a high school prom.
Senior Camilo Castro’s TikTok videos showcasing his friends’ looks started racking up insane view counts, with one Beauty and the Beast-inspired clip hitting 6 million views. In it, a student stuns in a golden feathered dress fit for Belle herself, rose in hand, while her sharply-suited date gives total Beast vibes by her side.
Another quintessential prom moment saw a real-life Cinderella arriving in a literal pumpkin carriage, looking like an ice princess in her blueDREAM of a ballgown as she emerged. These kids undeniably understood the assignment to the max.
Apparently going ultra-glam for prom is a tradition at this school, but the Class of 2023 cranked it up twenty notches. From Aladdin and Jasmine to Little Red Riding Hood and her Wolf, no iconic storybook duo was left unbodied by these fashionistas.
