A teenager asked the internet to choose her prom dress and TikTok users are making impassioned pleas for their favorite ones
  • A teenager asked TikTok users to help her pick a prom dress in a video shared on Monday.
  • She initially had six options but narrowed it down to one green and one magenta gown.

A teenager asked the internet to help her choose her prom dress, prompting TikTok users to make impassioned pleas for their favorite one.

TikTok user @l0velaina uploaded a video of herself modeling six gowns — each of which she says she thrifted — of various designs, colors, and fabrics on Monday.

One option was a dark, iridescent dress with purple and blue undertones, while another was a blue halter dress with shimmering details. She also showed off a silk dress with pockets that users dubbed "Tinkerbell green," as well as a mint-green dress with adjustable straps, a halter dress in magenta, and a dark purple dress embellished with designs.

"I've thrifted and collected these through the years," she wrote in the caption. "Now it's time to pick."

It didn't take long for @l0velaina's request to go viral, prompting more than 2.4 million views and 19,300 comments weighing in with their opinions.

"Please for the love of EVERYTHING pick one of the green ones," one person commented.

Many commenters were floored by the dresses, with some saying she couldn't go wrong with any of them, and one person calling it "the hardest decision of my life."

Some viewers were so invested that they asked the high schooler to share the dresses' brands, which she did in a follow-up video. Some of the pieces were from stores like David's Bridal, others were from vintage brands like Steppin' Out.

Finally, @l0velaina shared another video to tell TikTok users that she had narrowed her decision down to two dresses: the halter-neck magenta gown, and the silky "Tinkerbell green" dress. The video gained 175,000 views at the time of writing — and many more suggestions. There was a stark divide between viewers, with thousands of comments lobbying for each gown.

And while @l0velaina has yet to update viewers with her final choice, many users encouraged her to choose whichever dress made her happy.

"Whichever you pick you'll look really pretty," they said.

@l0velaina did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
