Meet the teen whose amazing self-designed prom dress went viral because it is FLAWLESS




There are prom dresses and then there are killed-the-game pieces of art that you designed yourself because you are a total queen at the ripe old age of 18.

Meet Kyemah McEntyre, the New Jersey teen queen in question who conceived and sketched the dress above, which she had a seamstress sew for prom night.



Not only does she look like a a complete goddess, but Kyemah, who says she has been called "ugly" and "angry," has some really important things to say about confidence and the importance of embracing difference on her Instagram page:
"The most creative people are the ones who step out of their comfort zone and take advantage of the world around them. My abilities as an artist allows me to experience the benefits that versatility fosters. Being exposed to all kinds of people and cultures is the muse for my artwork. I am an aspiring artist who is very passionate about the connection between art and the world. I believe that in order for society to gain a wider horizon, we have to be willing to acknowledge other people from differences, beliefs, morals, and values. I would like to take this moment to say that you have to understand who you are because if you leave that space open, you leave your identity in the hands of society. Don't let anyone define you. Beautiful things happen when you take pride in yourself.

"
Naturally, the Interwebs is smitten with Kyemah because she is everything -- and then some.










Oh, and check out that sash. Werk, Kye.
