5 high school seniors on how they made the most of virtual prom.
When I was in high school, you couldn’t tell me anything was more important than my prom night. It was the be-all, end-all occasion, and I spent years dreaming about it and months prepping for it, not to mention hours getting ready on the big day. Now that so many seniors are having their IRL prom nights canceled, they’ve been forced to get creative with virtual prom ideas in an attempt to make the most of their crushed prom fantasies.
The virtual prom took place on Instagram Live, and kicked off with a digital red carpet featuring Netflix stars Logan Allen and Maxwell Jenkins, comedian Kym Whitley, ballerina Tiler Peck, makeup artist Derrick Rutledge, TikTok star Curtis Roach, and Mama Durant.The turnout was beyond impressive, with around 500 students across the country tuning in.
While she did attend a virtual prom, Hichez focused less on pretending she was with her friends IRL and more about enjoying the night with the people around her—AKA, her family. “I decorated my house and had some fun club lights. I went around blasting all of my favorite hits and just had a good time with my family.”
Of course, Ludlam knew she’d still want to get all dolled up, and luckily she had the perfect accessories. “I got a call from the founder of Etre Girls that she had nominated me for a prom package from Pandora Jewelry,” she said. “I received a beautiful box with jewelry, cider, a speaker, and beauty things. They’re making my prom feel very special,” she adds.
Rather than schedule an actual virtual prom, Ialongo’s high school held a “prom day” on social media, encouraging students to dress in their prom attire and post online. Ialongo sewed her own dress, but still wanted an online celebration with her friends—so she organized one. “It was different and there were some challenges but it turned out great and I am so happy we were able to have this memorable senior moment,” she says.
