Posing in a fiery red skirt and a sequin-speckled tuxedo top that perfectly matches his scarlet-colored hair, 16-year-old Korben White blew up the internet with the billowing ballgown he wore to his high school prom.<\/p>\n
After a viral post made by his mom Nina Green, that shows her teenaged son primed and primped for prom, fervent disciples of the woke movement praised his flowing frock while others played the shame game, saying it demonstrates the \u201cfailure\u201d of a parent \u201cin encouraging this sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Korben White was only 12, he told his mother Nina Green \u201che wanted to go to his school prom in a gown.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2022, only four years after his declaration of intent, the teen\u2013a \u201csassy\u201d young drag queen who goes by the name Miss Frou Frou\u2013made it happen.<\/p>\n
Speaking with the BBC, Green explains her son\u2019s inspiration. \u201cHe wanted to go as himself, while expressing his feminine side\u2013with a tuxedo on the top and a dress at the bottom, very much influenced by [American actor] Billy Porter.\u201d She continued, \u201cHe wanted to be Korben\u2026but in a dress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
