Prom is a night of glitz, glam, and unforgettable memories. But for Eleanor, it was also a night of unexpected internet fame—all thanks to one sneaky little detail that nearly everyone missed.
While posing with her friends for a classic prom photo, Eleanor blended right in, her outfit perfectly styled from head to toe. But there was one thing that set her apart—and no, it wasn’t a crown or a sash. It was the accessory she carried: a metallic hip flask.
Now, before you jump to conclusions, here’s the twist: Eleanor didn’t just carry the flask; she styled it as part of her outfit, swapping out a traditional clutch bag for this unconventional (and sneaky!) alternative. Its sleek, shiny design made it look like just another trendy accessory, seamlessly blending into her prom ensemble. Genius, right?
The kicker? Nobody at the prom noticed. Not her friends, not her teachers—nobody. Eleanor kept her secret until she decided to spill the beans on X (formerly Twitter). She shared the now-viral post, laughingly confessing, “Still don’t know how I got away with a huge hip flask as my prom clutch.” Cue the internet’s applause.
Thousands of people chimed in, praising Eleanor for her creativity. Some called it bold, others hilarious, but most agreed it was nothing short of ingenious. Whether or not the flask actually held alcohol remains a mystery, but its $12 price tag from Tiger has certainly paid off in internet fame.

Eleanor’s story is a fun reminder of just how far a little imagination can go. While we don’t recommend bending the rules (stay safe and follow the guidelines, kids!), it’s hard not to admire her out-of-the-box thinking.
As Eleanor and her friends move on from high school, her prom-night ingenuity will surely be one for the books—or at least for viral internet lore.
