Another day, another Beyoncé slay.

This time, India Ross, an 18-year-old high school student from St. Louis, Missouri, caused a frenzy with her Bey-inspired prom dress.

The dress in question nods to the singer's barely there Givenchy gown from 2015's Met Gala.

With the help of local designer Toi Hall, the two spent months creating the special look for prom.

In a matter of a day, photos of her special day went viral. 

"Just a recap of this weekend: It went down, it was crazy," Ross said in an Instagram video. "Thank you everyone, I appreciate it."

The teen even got the poses on lock, playfully tugging her hair just like Bey.

Though the ensemble was pricey for a prom dress, at $800, Ross said the experience was completely priceless. 

“This has been a true blessing,” she said to Us Weekly. “I never thought that taking pictures at my prom would just blow up overnight.”

I'm SO FLAWLESS

Hall, on her Facebook page, was equally ecstatic: “All those sleepless nights, back pains, and hate were worth it.”
