A British student has been hailed as a “genius” after successfully sneaking a large hip flask into her prom — by cleverly disguising it as a trendy clutch bag.
Eleanor Clarke arrived at her prom looking effortlessly stylish in a sophisticated evening gown, accessorized with what seemed to be a chic, oversized clutch.
However, upon closer inspection, her shimmering silver “clutch” was far more than a fashion statement—it was actually a sizable metal hip flask, skillfully designed to complement her outfit.
Eleanor revealed her daring prom trick on X, where she boasts over 2,000 followers, and her post quickly gained widespread attention.

With her post, she shared four pictures from the memorable evening, showcasing the clever way she concealed it.

Others chimed in with praise, calling her idea “brilliant,” with one person even joking that she should be the “first female president.”
But the hidden flask wasn’t the only thing stealing the spotlight. As the photos gained momentum, some users noticed that Eleanor wasn’t the only one making daring choices for prom night.
One user humorously pointed out an unexpected detail in the background, writing: “Everyone’s focused on the giant hip flask, but meanwhile, Red Dress is bringing her cat to prom!”

At the same time, some users took a closer look at the pictures and speculated that a student in a blue gown might have been holding what looked like an iPad encased in an orange cover.
