- Freddie and Selorm team up to find out what the kids are wearing these days!
We know that because of COVID-19, most proms are cancelled for this year. We filmed this video beforehand, but thought it would still be a fun one for you to watch!
BuzzFeed employees are now practicing social distancing and sheltering in place, and we encourage everyone to do the same.

Freddy: I'm prom dress shopping!
Literally every junior and senior girls: Can't relate"
I went dress shopping in January but I don’t even get to wear my dress now 😭
Trinity same
@@trinity6968 online prom (?)
Braylin No that won’t be the same
@@trinity6968 i know... but isn't prom just something to party with your school friends
Any other people went to schools that literally would not let anyone wear sexy dresses because it was against dress code
Rebecca Uhler I luckily didn't
My school was weird because I was actually afraid to get a ‘sexy’ dress due to dress code. Yet a lot of girls have sexy dresses. At least now a days when I see dresses.
Yessss
Rebecca Uhler ua-cam.com/video/w54JR946gkE/v-deo.html
my school doesnt have prom as we’re in hk following a british school system but we do have a dinner dance. the dinner dance is with friends and family and there’s no dress code :) our school is pretty lax about dress codes though since only the last 2 years get casual while we have uniform
The last green dress was literally the only dress I liked
Same!
I loved the red one on Freddie!
It would look way better in a darker shade honestly
I think with accessories n some cool earrings at least...all will look good
Agree
"I had to take my underwear off" NOOOOO who cares if it gives you lines in the store! Unless you are 100% taking it home DO NOT TAKE OFF YOUR UNDERWEAR!!!!!
EXACTLY!!
If you wear thongs then it doesn't make a difference. Only with dresses because your hips will keep the fabric from hitting your pubic area; so pants, shorts, and anything else you put your legs through will definitely hug and expose you to sharing DNA and pathogens from others.
@@drrtydan NO. Don't take your underwear off in clothes that aren't yours. Ya nasty.
Having worked in a prom dress store, I was really upset when Fred took her underwear off to try the dress. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. We don’t know what dresses you’ve tried on with your underwear off, so we don’t know which ones to wash, and also some of these dresses you Can’t wash. It’s unsanitary and gross and the last thing Anybody wants is to be trying on dresses and finding someone else’s pubic hair.
For the love of god, Please wear your underwear until you’ve actually bought the dress.
@@Amy-ti1pm Nasty is trying on clothes without buying it in the first place. Underwear isnt going to save you unless youve got knickers on. Do you think the skin around your pubic area is the only vulnerable spot? I wear leggings under everything not underwear. My skin breaks out with the slightest touch. Thus why i think this dilema is stupid. Buy it, wash it, then wear. If not, come by with some thin leggings.
I guess every senior this year will have to buy prom dresses as an adult.
Michelle hahahahaha
Lmaooo
Hahahaha
LOL that’s me I was in year 11 and now I get no prom oh well lmao 🤦🏽♀️
It kinda weird to not wear underwear when you try on clothes in a store... like someone will buy that and especially with prom dress (or clothes you can’t put in the washing machine), people don’t always wash them before they wear it.
Am I the only one who didn't really like any of the dresses...😬
Alibaba-esque
I thought the same thing. They were kind of meh.
omg same i didn’t like any of themmm
I'm not a fan of dresses. I kinda wanted too see Freddie or Selorm in a suit or tux.
Omg they looked horrible
Y’all are here hating in the dresses but the way they were confident in them made it so gorgeous.
Selorm should have tried more prom dresses .
Two black women prom dress shopping and y'all couldn't find a photo of a black girl?
Girl....that's why my girl Quinta dipped!!! I miss her...she's on hbo now
I was thinking the same 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Yalll black girls do prom different periodddd
I don't know... the fabric choices are somewhat off. makes them look cheap.
That’s what they picked let them shine
why’d they not show any black girls in the “today’s prom” pics...black prom has a whole different style
Olivia Blackwell exaaaactly
Just in general all of the “today’s prom” pics should show more black, asian, and Hispanic girls and not just white
I think it was because they didn’t produce the video, they shot it and left the editing and inserts to Michael
Why do you even have to bring race into this video period?!?! Jeesh people, can we not just enjoy a video for what it is without mentioning race.
Sarah Prince, representation matters bruv!
Anybody else pay $400 for a prom dress they’ll never wear because the rest of their senior year got cancelled because of corona and now have that same dress on display in your closet, now that’s all you think about along with the $660 Gold package you bought for senior activities such as Gradbash only for you to not be able to go to any of them including your own graduation?????😕
indy Mickey 5000 yes 😔 I think we’re getting a refund for grad bash tho so I’m thankful for that
I'm really sorry, I hope everything works out ok❤️
Yes 😭
Yep never going to be over it 💔
It's okay...you would have stained it eating. Scuffed your shoes. And have it in your closet for years.. then try on randomly and it won't zip and you wonder what happened to your youth lmao
imagine getting to have prom....
- *cries in Class of 2020*
Awsamazing Eden class of corona 🙋♀️
Same..love being a senior
Some of our school's had prom before Corona so they cool.
And class of 2021 😭😭😭
Ok but I’m living for Jonathan like he’s cute and he knows fashion
The yellow dress is a joke right?
I liked it and if you don’t don’t send mean comments like that! You can’t put toothpaste back in a tube
My school would never let us wear that blue dress
jessicaoddone ua-cam.com/video/w54JR946gkE/v-deo.html
The black and red one makes me think of Spider Man. I like it lol
BRBgot2travel OMG SAME
Yes, and I think the designer should have steered into it harder.
That yellow one with the flowers is literally the ugliest dress I’ve ever seen lol
Sydney 👏🏽👏🏽
Lmao yup
I could see it for like a red carpet
luckily you didn't buy it (:
Kay Bee i feel bad that they did
:( “it’s prom season” hit me in the feels
I can't be the only one that doesn't like any of the dresses...?
Only one I liked was the first one Selorm put on. It went well with her skin tone
@@jennylee423 the color was nice but for me personally the pattern and cut were a bit too much...
I only liked the last one
I liked Freddie’s first one a bit
@@hiii_8010 agreed, that one was my favorite one as well :D
I feel like they do this "prom dress" video idea like every week
Luis Camargo I’m over it
Luis Camargo ua-cam.com/video/w54JR946gkE/v-deo.html
Did ladylike and as/is merge? All of ladylike’s videos are now on as/is.
Juan Ramirez Chantel and Devin left buzzfeed so to my understanding LadyLike isn’t a thing anymore. They haven’t posted a video in a long time. I think the rest of the ladies are just in As/Is videos now.
Chantel and Devin left Buzzfeed. The other girls said they had plans for Ladylike, but with the pandemic going on, those plans are probably postponed
Lucky S Devin was offered a job with NBC and Chantel left to become independent. Both have their own UA-cam channels, where they post regular content monthly and bi-weekly respectively.
@Lucky S They have started channels so you can hear it from them, but basically, they wanted to do something new.
Something is going on with Ladylike. They've been right lipped but Devon said on her channel that stuff is happening that she can't talk about yet.
You shouldn’t wear white to prom it looks more like a wedding than prom
Just my opinion sorry if it sounded rude
Don't destroy other peoples dreams and wishes with your opinion
In Austria you have to wear a white dress and everyone has like the same fit, it’s so boring everyone looks the same
Hello , it’s your opinion over that , it is not your option ok?and if they wanna wear white,let them wear white, like how m a said don’t destroy other people’s dreams just because you think you rule, thank you.😑😡
I wore white to both of my proms and yeah it kinda looked a bit like a wedding dress (because I styled it like one) but I loved it and now I don't have to buy a wedding dress down the road I can re-wear my gorgeous prom dress that normally no one ever actually wears again, and I can save a butt load of money cause wedding dresses are expensive!
You can wear white to prom and still look beautiful and not like a wedding if you want to it all depends on how you choose to dress up your outfit, be it accessories, the way your do your hair and make up etc.
Melissa Sparkles good example
When your a senior watching this knowing that you will never have prom 😢
Edit: wow came back three months later, thanks for the likes. I have been in ASB for four years, and I've worked prom, but never dance of did anything with my friends just enjoyed the food. Since it was going to be my prom this year, it means I didn't have to work, but well stuff happens.
😔😫
Aww!! It's better to live on than celebrate prom but maybe you could do a late prom.
Omg I didnt think of that😱 I feel bad for you guys.
After quarantine/lockdown/etc is lifted have your own prom party with your friends! Dress up if you want to, get some snacks and music and have your own little prom. It'll definitely be more fun than "real prom" because you'll get to be around just the people you choose to invite to your own prom rather than your whole school, you get to pick your music, pick the food, etc.
Think of it as you get a super awesome customizable prom!
I hear yah 🎂😥
I love Freddie and Selorm together. This felt like going shopping with friends (anyone else lonely during quarantine?)
When they say happy prom season at the end but there is no prom this year.
Hmm I didn’t really like any of the dresses... They didn’t really pick any pretty ones. Not the style of today, like at all😬
They liked it and that’s all that matters. It’s their bodies they can wear what they want
Damn this makes me feel sad, considering my senior prom is cancelled bc of corona
Same girl you're not alone😓
Same 😞
Awww I feel so bad for you.once this ends you should get to have a prom redo.
@@poodles5732 I hope it happens for people that didn't get to go. Prom is actually kinda fun, sort of.
2:13 Freddie: “I would have a low back, I would have beads, maybe feathers, I would do a mermaid cut…” Selorm: “lookin like a Vegas show” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe this video should have come out later in the year since proms all over the country have been cancelled. All those sad kids wishing they could have gone, and all those girls who’ve already bought their dresses 😕
It wouldn't be relevant after spring. They're just going through their videos until quarantines are over, As/Is only has so much content.
they can rewatch it later....
It's not that deep.
Itumeleng Tsholo to each their own. You’re obviously not a senior, or have one...and that’s okay.
My prom is cancelled. Completely and i hate it because it would be my first and last
there were so many pretty dresses but they picked the ugliest dresses
edit- omg thank you for all the likes!
I know 😭
To you.
rose. s okay you don’t get it it’s a tiktok 😂
It’s her body so she can wear what she wants
She took her underwear off?! I feel bad for whoever gets that dress
I think they're like sample dresses, so nobody will actually wear that dress, they just pick out the dress they want and then the shop makes in in the color/pattern and size. (not sure, but that's what I got from what the guy said lol)
So she wasnt wearing any underwear while trying dresses on
I think it was only the blue one
Yes, that's disgusting
Is weird... considering she was trying on dresses in a store
Or maybe in reality their company already bought it and they are just pretending to try on dresses (?)
What's the point of a dress if you can't wear underwear 😅
@@pinkheart315 😂😂😂 i feel like thar type of dresses goes in that way
Didn’t you hear... prom season has been canceled 😭🥺
I was wondering why I missed this then I realized this was new
Work it feeddie 🙌
Same lol

@@PR-ce5wt is this what prom is supposed to be like?
Some schools where I live have adult proms or "second chance proms" and my husband and I got to have a prom together 💞😊
“Woah this is prom, this is pg” honey clearly you haven’t experienced high school dances 😂
Wasn't Selorm laid off from buzzfeed months ago? I miss her, she was my favorite.
Jessica Fal why was she laid off ):
A year ago, but I've seen her in the background of several videos.
BF has a history of contracting various former employees that they didn't fire for cause
@@genevievehernandez1595 That was part of 2019's bloodbath. BF didn't make earnings projections so there were cuts across the board.
No one:
Literally no one:
World: stay home and practice self isolation
BuzzFeed: let's go prom shopping as adults😂😂😂
they probably filmed this months ago
@@camicat111 yeah.... Might be possible...
yea it's in the description
They film their vids in advance
Jonathan was so uncomfortable 🤣🤣

Two gorgeous black girls, I love it! Def clicked on this video because of Freddie in the thumbnail
My senior proms been canceled and this made my heart sad 😕 I just want to get dressed up and pretty
Honestly i dont like they're style. The dresses arent attractive
*their
They liked it so leave them alone. It’s their bodies
Me, Class of 2019: damn I would’ve never picked these for my junior or senior proms
Class of 2020: I’ll never have a prom 😭😭
Lemme say, Class of 2020 that didn’t have a Junior prom, prom isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. I even planned my schools junior prom and it looked beautiful, but the experience was meh. Dressing up is the only fun part, so still do that and take pictures! That’s better than the dancing and lame snacks
Taegan Skye thank you for saying this🥺 it made me feel a little better about not having prom :)
selorm has such a beautiful voice
I was homeschooled so I never had a prom, but I got to pick out a prom dress for my senior recital in college since I was a music major, and the dress was beautiful dark blue with glitter and ombre skirt which looked like the night sky. It was on sale too!
LOL I totally had the moment “this isn’t me at all, I should try it as a joke.... omg it’s my favorite” and I wore it to prom.... lol
Freddie: It's prom season!
Corona: _HA_
The green dress looked so amazing on her, absolutely stunning.
I’m obsessed with the lowkey shade between you two 😂
every time someone uses "great gatsby" as a synonym for "1920s" i die inside
The blue low back dress is fine on a full grown woman, but for a teenager I don't think so.
THE GREEN ON SALORM WAS AMAZING AND THE BALLGOWN ON FRED WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
Prom.....yea that ain't happenin this year
Ever since I was a little girl to this day, I get so excited walking through the dress/gown section of stores and love looking at wedding dresses online. There's something about it. I have never been to prom (25 now..) but cannot wait to go to my first gown event. :)
“Hey now...”
Me: HEY NOW YOURE AN ALL STAR
Hey now this is what dreaaamss are made of
Can’t relate
Papi Chulo THATS WHAT I THOUGHT OF
Well...Prom is a slightly touchy subject at the moment
esme fearne mine got cancelled this week 🙁
erin erin same😫
I love these two
When class of 2020 gets their prom cancelled ;(
It literally breaks my heart seeing Freddie in a video without the rest of the ladylike ladies 😭💔 Not that I don’t love Selorm ❤️
Love seeing Freddie and Selorm!
I could watch these two shop together all day
Ugh my prom dress was beautiful. It was a silky material, peach with green irredentist throughout it. It was also a deep v cut with a mesh in the front. It was also low back and had some booty curve cutting but nothing overdone. I felt like a beautiful glam princess.
Class of 2020 this one hit hard
That purple one and the green one were my favorites
I am loving this prom series. We don't get to celebrate prom in our country but we do have some sort of farewell , it's like m living vicariously through them❤❤❤
Finally some Freddie content
I needed this video for a good smile
EDIT: Now, reading all the comments from high schoolers with canceled proms and graduations in 2020, is killing the mood. What a bummer, I feel for you all. If it makes you feel better, once you leave high school, prom feels like a very distant memory. You have much bigger things ahead of you 💪
I love the purple and the beaded one of Freddie of ofc that green one on Selorm!! 💓
Love their chemistry!!!! 💕
Freddie would look so good in a Dark blue dress!
my senior prom was cancelled and now all these videos just hurt a bit
these two are the perfect duo and them with the store guy are the dream team
6:10 Yup! It matches her lipstick perfectly! 💜
When you can’t even go dress shopping as a teenager.
Freddie and Selorm should have a series!!!
They’re both gorgeous with their confidence❤️
Freddie in the purple dress was STUNNING
7:52 Love the green dress looks like an alien
Edit:in the back
Selorm is like everyone's mom 😂
I love you two together!
i love it when my two favorite people come together make a video together
why did I do this to myself? watching this when I won’t even be able to go to my prom😔
@@SHEFIGASHA Almost all proms have been cancelled Nationwide due to the virus.
Ain’t nobody going to prom🚮💔
Because corona
Sanaa Kelley ua-cam.com/video/w54JR946gkE/v-deo.html
Random Person yes my last year🥺
Zee-k Richards that good you had a great time
My favorite was the off white one with the pink flowers
That last dress
THAT COLOUR ON HER SKIN IS AMAZING
Okay notif squad!!
Freddie reminds me of Lauren from love is blind
I loved the beaded dress on Freddie and the green mermaid dress on Selorm, but honestly they looked gorgeous in every single style/vibe
the fabric made the "simple" ones look like 2000s jazz competition costumes
Why did i watch this i didn't even have a prom back then in hs 😷
This just made me depressed 😭 I wanna have a prom
I loved all these dresses!!!
I audibly said wow when she put in the green dress ✨🥺
Really? Y’all posted this now knowing that so many seniors (including me) proms have been cancelled due to the coronavirus? I won’t ever get to go to an actual prom (or even attend my own graduation), this video just made me feel sad.
They’re not allowed to try on dresses because it hurts your feelings 💀
Did anyone else notice that Freddie held the mannequin's hand? 😂😂
I just think it's funny how.. lmfaoo
These two are great 😂
I love Freddie's last dress!
