This prom season has really been one for the books. The class of 2017 has really been showing out and making statements with their fashion tastes. 17-year-old Milan Bolden-Morris decided that she, too, wanted to make a statement of her own: that black lives matter and justice should be mandatory.

Bolden-Morris made heads turn during her senior prom with a dress that featured fallen black Americans like Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown and Tamir Rice. 

The dress was designed by Bolden-Morris' friend, designer Terrence Torrance. It was made from scuba material and beaded lace to give a form-fitting look. The idea took over a year to finally come into fruition, but Torrance believes it was for the best. He estimates that the dress featured 15 lives; he had a longer list, but ultimately had to edited it. "If I could put everybody on there, I’d probably still be adding people on. It’s sad to say," he said in an interview with Buzzfeed.

The piece has been making its rounds on social media, garnering attention from users everywhere. Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, loved the creation. 

While responses have been varied, Bolden-Morris wants the overall message to hit harder than the dress. "It was not for me, not to show how good I look in the dress or get publicity for me," she told Buzzfeed. "It’s about how these lives were taken under unnecessary circumstances."

Slay, sis.
