Student's Prom Night Secret: The Hidden Item No One Saw Coming

Social media users have praised a student posing for prom photos after she got away with sneaking a particular item in. A British student was described as a 'genius' as she managed to disguise a large item as a stylish clutch bag, in a resurfaced social media post. Eleanor Clarke was wearing an elegant dress ahead of her group's special night, as she clutched onto what looked to be an oversized bag. At first glance, even the biggest fashionistas would write it off as a rather large accessory, but this was far from the truth. It wasn't a clutch at all; the student was actually grasping onto a huge metal hip flask, which blended into her look. Unfortunately, the move may have given teenagers all over the world an idea that didn't need to be brought to their attention. People couldn't believe that the student got away with the stunt.

The disguise was shared on X , with the caption: "Still don't know how I got away with a huge hip flask as my prom clutch." She also posted a number of other snaps from her night out, showing how she managed to hide it, as one picture showed the student taking a pretend swig from the flask. The post now has over 227,000 likes, with many appreciating her creativity and outside-the-box thinking. One user called her a 'genius,' with another joking that she should be the 'first female president'. A third wrote: "Fact she's so casual holding it like an actual clutch n all oh my god a true intellectual. (sic)." A different user penned: "This girl is my new hero." It isn't clear if the student filled her flask up with alcohol, or whether it was being used as a prop in a stunt, though she seems to suggest that she got away with it. The photos went viral back in 2017, surfacing again years later, as viewers started to notice other aspects of the photo which were also noteworthy.

But she wasn't alone in making bold decisions, as one social media user pointed out a questionable outfit choice from one of Eleanor's friends. They wrote: "We're all talking about the huge hip flask meanwhile Red dress is taking her cat to prom," referencing her furry bag. Others noticed that the student in the blue dress looked to be holding her iPad in an orange case, choosing to focus on that in the comments. The internet can be absolutely brutal.
