prom queens
Crowned teenage honorees
Prom queens are girls elected by their high school classmates to reign over the prom, the formal dance marking the end of the school year.
The title carries connotations of popularity, conventional attractiveness, and social success.
Figuratively, prom queen suggests someone pretty but perhaps shallow or overly concerned with status: She acts like she's still the prom queen.
