Keziah Daum is an American high school student from the state of Utah. She recently attended her school’s prom dance, where she wore a traditional Chinese dress called, in Mandarin, a qipao. Daum found the dress at a used clothing store. She thought it had a special look, and hoped it would help her stand out at the dance. Daum said she chose the form-fitting dress in part because she liked its high collar. The dress was “Chinese red”, a color that represents good fortune and joy. On her prom night, Daum posted photos on Twitter of herself wearing the dress. One week later, her post has received more than 14,000 comments. It has created a heated debate about whether it is right for Daum, who is not Chinese, to wear such a traditional Chinese gown.
