Boy, 16, divides the internet with billowing ballgown, some say he’s ‘stunning’ others say ‘vile’

Sixteen-year-old Korben White stirred both praise and criticism online with his striking prom attire—a voluminous ballgown paired with a sequin-speckled tuxedo top, perfectly complementing his red hair. His mother, Nina Green, shared a viral video of his preparation. Some celebrated his expressive choice, while others criticized it, suggesting it was a parental failure.

Korben, a young drag queen known as Miss Frou Frou, expressed his desire to attend prom in a gown when he was just 12. He finally realized his vision in 2022. Green explained, “He wanted to go as himself, with a tuxedo on the top and a dress at the bottom, influenced by Billy Porter.”
