For one now viral teen, having your two dancer friends recreate the opener of Beyoncé’s Formation video is the absolute minimum requirement before everyone gets to photograph you in your prom dress.
That’s what this prom queen of our hearts did, and the Facebook video has 7.4 million views so far. Watch as one dancer steps out between a pair of balloons representing the colors of the Beyhive, and completely nails the choreography from Queen Bey’s video. When another friend joins in to double the slayage, that’s when the smoke machine really kicks in.
Only after the performance did the teen queen emerge in a sparkly gown for pictures. She flips her hair and briefly poses for everyone’s phone cameras, wordlessly communicating world domination vibes before descending the red carpet for the second string event of the night — the actual prom.
Watch the video here.
