#PromBat photo takes over social media

A photo of a teen attending the prom in a caped crusader-style outfit sparked memes and jokes from creative Twitter users and even singer Rihanna. Late Thursday a photo began circulating online from @Lexxy_Charms showing off her unique high school dance attire; a low cut jumpsuit with sleeves attached to it like bat wings.


“Turning heads, catching eyes, breaking necks anit [sic] no looking past me,” the teen captioned a photo of her unique ensemble.

The photos of her bat-like look then went viral and Twitter users like Rihanna weighed in. The Bajan songstress who’s known for cracking jokes with her Navy fan club, compared the teen’s outfit to a red carpet look she previously wore.

“She gets it,” she added on a photo comparing @Lexxy_Charms to Wu Tang Clan’s symbol.


So far the so-called #PromBat is taking the entire thing in stride and gloating about her social media notoriety.

“Damm [sic] Lex got clout now,” wrote the high-schooler. “Keep retweeting my pictures please!” she added.
