A British student has been praised as a "genius" after successfully smuggling a large hip flask into her prom—by disguising it as a stylish clutch bag.
British student Eleanor Clarke showed up at her prom looking completely put together in an elegant evening dress, her outfit completed by what appeared to be a fashionable, oversized clutch bag.
However, a closer look revealed that her silver "clutch" wasn’t just an accessory—it was actually a massive metal hip flask, cleverly disguised to blend in with her look.
Eleanor shared her bold prom hack on X, where she has over 2,000 followers, and the post quickly caught attention.
She captioned her tweet: "Still don't know how I got away with a huge hip flask as my prom clutch."
Alongside her post, she uploaded four photos from the big night, revealing how she pulled off her creative disguise.
In one of the pictures, Eleanor and her friends posed with playful expressions, pretending to take a sip from the disguised flask before heading to prom.
Her post quickly went viral, racking up over 284,000 likes and 54,000 retweets as people reacted to her creativity.
One person commented in admiration: "fact she's so casual holding it like an actual clutch n all oh my god a true intellectual. (sic)"
Others joined in the praise, calling her move "genius", with one person even suggesting that she should be the "first female president".
But the sneaky flask wasn’t the only thing that caught attention. As the photos gained traction, some users noticed that Eleanor wasn’t the only one making bold choices for prom night.
One user hilariously pointed out another unusual sight in the background, writing: "We're all talking about the huge hip flask meanwhile Red dress is taking her cat to prom."
Meanwhile, others took a second look at the photos and questioned whether a student in a blue dress was carrying what appeared to be an iPad inside an orange case.
