A boy named Korben dreamed of wearing a ball gown to prom from a young age. Four years later, his parents made that dream come true. When Korben showed up in his red ball gown and lipstick, his teachers and classmates were moved to tears.
Prom is a special event marking the end of high school, and everyone wants it to be memorable. Korben, who is 16, had an unforgettable night thanks to his supportive mom. She shared pictures of his prom outfit on Twitter, and her post quickly went viral. Many celebrities and fans liked and shared it, celebrating Korben’s unique and heartfelt choice.
Korben’s mom, Nina Green, shared that her son had always loved wearing dresses. As a teenager, he even performed as the “sassy” drag queen Miss Frou Frou. But for prom night, Korben had a new idea.
He wanted to attend prom as himself, but in a dress. This way, he could show off his feminine side while being true to who he is. Nina explained:
“He wanted to be himself, combining his masculine and feminine sides. He planned to wear a tuxedo on top and a dress on the bottom, inspired by Billy Porter.”
When Korben arrived at his school prom, wearing his unique outfit, everyone went wild with excitement. His classmates and teachers at Archbishop Sancroft High School in Harleston, Norfolk, cheered loudly for him.
Nina Green shared that many teachers were emotional as they watched Korben step out of the car. They were moved by his bravery and confidence. Nina said, “As soon as he got out of the car, everyone started cheering, and I was crying. Some of the teachers were crying too because he was being true to himself.”
Korben had asked to wear a dress to his prom when he was just 12, and his parents made sure to remember his request. When prom night arrived, they helped him get ready just the way he wanted and supported him both in person and online.
Korben looked fantastic in his ball gown, which had a flowing skirt, a sparkly jacket, a bow tie, and a matching small bag. Nina, his mom, took lots of photos of him before he left for prom and shared them on Twitter to show her support.
Nina Green was thrilled to share Korben’s prom look on Twitter and tagged Billy Porter and Michelle Visage from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” to get their opinions. Michelle Visage responded with excitement, saying, “Ohhhhhhhh yes! You are an amazing, beautiful mom and your child is a STAR.”
Michelle wasn’t the only one impressed. The tweet quickly went viral, with many people praising Korben’s fabulous prom outfit and expressing how happy they were for him.
Since Nina Green’s post about Korben’s prom outfit was shared, it has received over 4,000 retweets, more than 8,000 comments, and over 110,000 likes from celebrities and everyday people alike. One admirer commented:
“Looks fabulous! I absolutely love the gown/tux combo. I hope my son is still as confident and comfortable with himself at that age. Never lose your sparkle.”
Kirk Wills, who implied they made the dress, added, “I couldn’t be more proud of Korben; he rocked the look without a doubt. It was an honor to make this subtle look for his big night and see him rock his entrance.”
Although there were some negative comments, many people defended Korben. One fan responded, “Some people should have listened to their parents or grandparents: ‘If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.’ If he wants to wear a dress, then that’s his choice, and his choice only. He’s not harming anyone.”
Korben’s mother, Nina, later shared her gratitude in a post, admitting she hadn’t expected such a positive response when she first shared the pictures. She wrote:
“The support and positivity have been overwhelming and have completely overshadowed the few negative comments, which we ignore. It’s his life, and I’m letting him live it.”
Korben realized how important it was to have the courage to be himself. He said, “It sends a message—you can be who you want to be.”
The following day, Nina and Korben attended Pride in London. There, a fan approached them, recognizing Korben as the boy in the red dress and telling him he was “amazing.”
These moments became unforgettable memories for Korben as he moved on to the next chapter in his life. Through this experience, Korben’s parents demonstrated the importance of allowing children to be themselves without imposing their own beliefs.
Baby Born With Unusual Syndrome – 22 Years Later She Looks Amazing
These young, allegedly productive qualities are seen in the 99-63-91 body, which stands 1.68 meters tall.
In reality, though, a woman’s level of fertility would rely on a multitude of factors, with physical type playing a relatively minor role.
Despite the fact that obesity has been linked to miscarriages, pregnancy difficulties, and infertility in women, infertility problems can affect anyone, regardless of size.
Mary’s pregnancy and delivery had proceeded without any complications. There were no signs that their daughter Michelle experienced any problems when she was born. Yet the moment she opened her eyes, the physicians realized something wasn’t quite right. They didn’t figure out what it was until they perused medical texts and talked to a geneticist at a different hospital.
Michelle’s face was large and innocent. She had a nose like a little beak, and she was balding. It was discovered that she had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, a hereditary illness of which there are only 250 known cases worldwide.
Michelle was born at Children’s Memorial Hospital, where no one had ever seen it in person.
When the doctor told us we had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, my heart fell. “I was concerned about how we were going to care for our child who had a rare genetic disease that was one in five million,” Michelle’s mother said.

Michelle exhibits 26 of the 28 symptoms that are associated with the condition. Although the sickness affects only one in five million people, it can lead to a variety of health issues.
Michelle is just two years older than her sister, yet she can barely reach over her waist because of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and dwarfism.
Because of her illness, Michelle needs a lot of help, including an electric wheelchair, a respirator, a hearing aid, a probe, and visual aids. Michelle and her family have also had to spend a lot of time in the hospital as a result of the illness. She may be mistaken for a toddler while being 25 years old due to her appearance.
As a 20-year-old, Michelle is happier than ever and as intelligent as a poodle. She is among the happiest twentysomethings I’ve ever met.Her mother Mary continued, saying:
She brightens people’s days with her happiness. She is aware of her differences, but she refuses to let them define her.
Michelle is a great, distinctive young woman despite her challenges. Among other things, she aspires to date and become like her older sister. She doesn’t mind his height because practically everyone is taller than her, but she wished his hair was longer.
Her goal is to become a doctor as well!
