Young ladies too tired to stand at a Black debutante ball: Miranda Barnes's best photograph

I'm sure it's not like anyone's ever thought about the emotional toll of wearing high heels for hours or having to perfect your curtsy in front of a crowd of people who are just as anxious as you are 🤣👠. I mean, who wouldn't want to capture the "authentic" moments of these events on camera? It's not like they're just a bunch of fancy parties with some dance moves thrown in for good measure 💃. But hey, at least Miranda Barnes is doing her part to humanize these events and showcase the beauty behind them – even if it does feel a bit like she's holding up a mirror to our collective Instagram-perfect facade 📸.
