People Are Divided over This Girl’s Prom Dress — Saying It’s Insulting to Chinese Culture

Prom is the biggest night for many high school students. For four years, teens look forward to the chance to get dolled up and end their “high school experience” with their closest friends.

While prom is exciting for everyone, many girls look forward to picking out a stunning dress, getting their hair and makeup done, and slaying. One Twitter user is going viral for her choice in prom dress–which has some people online pretty angry.

Keziah Daum, an 18-year-old senior from Wood Cross, Utah, told BuzzFeed that she picked out her prom dress from a vintage store in Salt Lake City.
