Prom season is finally here, with high schoolers around the country preparing for a night to remember.
For the seniors at Miller Grove High School in Metro Atlanta, their formal wear accomplished the event’s theme of Harlem Nights. After the school’s senior class page posted a video of who wore what, social media users erupted into applause as these young adults stepped into their moment.
The Miller Grove High School class of 2025 did a popular “before and after” trend for their snippet of attendees’ looks from the April 19 event.
The outfit reveal gained traction quickly on social media, with users flooding the comments on the elaborate dresses that shone through the evening.
“I absolutely love the transformations,” wrote one user. “Gotta give it up for them! They look so proud and happy! The young ladies looked gorgeous, and the young men showed out!!! Loved them all!”
While some naysayers had negative things to say about some of the outfits, other commenters quickly shut them down to focus on celebrating these accomplished students.
“The fact that these kids are graduating and look amazing, congratulate them… keep the other comments to yourself,” expressed another.
Other commenters added, “These prom dressed are out of this world! Ladies and Gentlemen you look stunning!”
The “Harlem Nights” soiree paid tribute to Black excellence in fashion by becoming it for the hour. The event, held at Atlanta’s Starling Hotel, provided an elegant evening to commemorate the students’ final year of high school. And of course, no ball can go without its royal court, with Miller Grove’s Prom King and Queen celebrated as well.
Prom continues to be a way for soon-to-be high school graduates to come together in their best dress ahead of graduation. For Black students, prom dress reveals have also become their affairs, with photoshoots serving as an occasion to heighten the experience. As this latest class makes its mark, it does so with the support of its community as they embark on the next level of adulthood.
