  1. I think she looked beautiful. It was classy and well made. Would be perfect on most runways. I Know she was probably embarrassed and I feel bad for her and her Mother. I think they were wrong in not letting her attend.

  2. Beautiful, classy, tasteful…too bad it didn’t follow what she already knew to be the guidelines and published dres code. Yo don’t get to break the rules, snowflake, just to get your 15 minutes of fame. Only YOU could have prevented this by following the rules-leave your Mommy out of it!
