Everyone wants to make an impression at prom, because it’s prom.

It’s a big deal. But no one made as big of an impression as a group of students at Subiaco Academy in Arkansas: The prom dates perfectly coordinated their outfits and the results were heroic.

All five guys in the group wore different superhero shirts underneath their suits and colour-coordinated bowties, while their dates wore dresses that matched. But until the ladies “ripped” open the shirts of the guys, no one knew anything was up.

Photographer Johnny Bolinger from BN Focus Photography was on hand to snap the photos. He said the session started out pretty normal, but turned rather unique when the teens said they wanted to change things up.

“We just did the normal, prom-style photos, but at some point they said they wanted to do a superhero-type of photo,” Johnny Bollinger told Buzz Feed.

He was super impressed at how well-coordinated the dresses were to the superhero logos – and we are, too! Finding a prom dress that fits and you feel good in can be hard enough, let alone matching it to superhero colours.

Since Bolinger had never taken photos of superhero prom attire, he posted the photos to his Facebook page, and it has been shared over 300,000 times. His followers have grown from 300 to over 18,000 in just a few days. “It completely took off. I don’t know how it happened,” Bolinger told Buzz Feed. We know how it happened. Superhero prom. That’s how. Everyone loves a superhero.
