Selena Gomez Seventeen Prom 2010

Selena Gomez helps girls find their perfect prom dress — on a budget

Sure she’s hot and famous, but Selena Gomez recommends all girls ask boys to prom? Why? Because it shows confidence.

“Oh man! I’m not sure there’s really a specific way to do it. I think you would seem more powerful if you just went up to him, even in front of his friends, and asked him. Because even if he says no, you can walk away knowing that you had the confidence to ask him. And I think that confidence is the best quality to have.”
