Prom night is the perfect time for a coming-of-age moment. Whether you live that moment as your fabulous self or play a character just for fun is up to you. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of iconic characters to look up to. Take this quiz to find out: Which pop culture prom queen are you? Carrie White is not an option.
Laney Boggs
It’s too bad She’s All That – it turns out – is a problematic film. Laney Boggs represents many teenage girls. She’s creative, introverted, and gets into her head a lot. So relatable. Laney Boggs is getting to know a different side of her and discovering her power. To each her own pace! If this is you, embrace that spotlight and know that you don’t need a Freddie Prinze, Jr. to shine.
Bianca Stratford
10 Things I Hate About You’s Bianca Stratford is the younger sister of too-cool-for-school Kat Stratford, and she’s also “all that.” She’s the quintessential popular girl, almost reminiscent of Cher (Clueless). And although she’s often mistaken for a vapid mean girl, she’s sweet and only looking for love. For prom, she wore a memorable two-piece pink dress that’s both wholesome and cute – like her!
Has a pimple reared its ugly head just in time for prom? Don’t worry. Simply adjust your skincare routine to treat your acne – but steer clear of harsh ingredients. Use Eskinol Pimple Relief Facial Wash, which has cica from Korea and green tea extracts to soothe and cleanse acne-prone skin.
Josie Geller
Josie Geller in Never Been Kissed is the ate of the group – and not only because she’s older. Although her journey through high school was shaky the first time around, she gets to return as a mature, confident, and inspiring woman. She champions underdogs and tells off bullies – if this is you, thank you for using your platform to do good! You deserve that crown.
Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Prom poster takes inspiration from Courtney Love’s prom queen image on the eponymous album of the band, Hole. She’s glam and fab, but she also has mascara running down her face. If you identify with this character, know that it’s okay to be a hot mess! So you’re a little bit emo – that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun or be a queen.
Get glowing like Olivia with a moisturizer that hydrates without making your skin sticky. Try POND'S Watermelon Jelly Moisturizer. Its lightweight jelly formula is ideal for sensitive teen skin. It's oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores or make you break out. Plus, it has watermelon extract and vitamin E to make your skin glow.
Bella Swan
While Bella Swan is technically not a prom queen, she’s a #kween for rocking that leg brace on prom night. This scene from Twilight wasn’t pivotal or exciting, but it’s still a great moment for Bella – who by the way just started dating a vampire! She’s in a new school, with a new boyfriend, living a whole new life, and she’s still trying to figure things out. If this is you, enjoy your night off and leave your anxious thoughts (and Jacob) at the door.
Get glowing like Bella (and fine, Edward!) with POND’S Triple Glow Serum. This triple-action serum delivers brightness, smoothness, and hydration with Gluta-boost C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. Apply it right after cleansing by patting it on your skin. Follow with moisturizer and SPF.
Remember, you don’t have to be a prom queen to be a queen, but feel free to have some fun with your pop culture spirit animal anyway!
