In a world where fashion often takes itself too seriously, along comes Johnny Wujek, a stylist who’s more likely to turn a red carpet into a rainbow than stick to the monochrome memo. Best known for his collaborations with Katy Perry (yes, including that left shark), Ariana “I’m not a doughnut” Grande, and Kim “Break the Internet” Kardashian, Johnny has decided it’s high time the prom scene gets a splash of his colorful creativity. And where better to unleash this sartorial revolution than at JCPenney, the temple of teen shopping dreams and awkward family photo outfits?

Now, if you’re thinking, “JCPenney? For prom?” let me stop you right there. Because Johnny Wujek doesn’t just do prom; he turns it into an event that will have everyone talking until their 20-year reunion. During a recent Zoom interview with Variety, which probably had more sequins per square inch than the Oscars, Johnny revealed, “The universe took the wheel here.” Apparently, this prom collection was over a decade in the making, which means he started dreaming about tulle and tailcoats around the same time we were all trying to figure out Facebook.

And oh, what a collection it is! With a whopping 22 pieces that scream “fashionable, colorful, and won’t make your wallet cry,” Johnny has effectively turned JCPenney into the place to be this prom season. He reminisced about how JCPenney was his “big department store moment” back in Michigan and how it’s all come full circle. Imagine that meeting: “You’ve got 11 days, Johnny. Make prom happen”. And he did, because deadlines are apparently just another word for “watch me”.

But wait, there’s more! Johnny didn’t just stop at dazzling us with his designs. He went full prom king and donated $50,000 to his old high school in Michigan for their prom. Talk about giving back in style! He even had the kids sign his letterman jacket, which is probably the most wholesome thing I’ve heard in years.

Now, let’s talk favorites because Johnny’s got some picks that will make you wish you could go to prom all over again:

Off-the-Shoulder Fitted Gown: This dress is like if a highlighter went to fashion school. Originally torn between blue and green, it graduated as neon chartreuse, proving that sometimes, the best color is the one that glows in the dark. At $122.64, down from $219, it’s a steal.
