Teen Who Designed Stunning Afro-centric Prom Dress Styles Star for BET Awards

Remember Kyemah McEntyre? she won Prom Queen as well as the hearts of the internet with her fierce self-designed African-inspired prom gown.

Well all the internet recognition paid off as she scored a super sweet gig right out of high school. McEntyre was commissioned to design Power actress, Naturi Naughton’s gown for the BET Awards which took place this past Sunday.

Naturi’s gown was a traditional mermaid shape with an intricate cross-back design.

Kyemah took to her instagram to gush about the opportunity.

WORLD STOP!! First I have to thank God for blessing me with such a creative and influential mind. Naturi, you continue to inspire people like me, especially in your hometown, (East Orange,New Jersey). Thanks for helping me build my foundation and giving back to the community. Naturi Naughton YOU ARE THE BEST!
