Upon seeing Carter’s outfit, many started a Twitter trend, the hashtag #PromBat, which was trending for a while before Rihanna jumped on the bandwagon. However, now that the news of Rihanna’s cyber-bullying scandal has begun to spread, the hashtag continues, but mainly in support of Alexis Carter against RiRi.
E! Online reports:
“Everybody was saying, ‘Oh my god, I love it. It looks nice. Your body looks good. It’s different,'” Carter recalled. The next day, however, photos of her outfit began to circulate on social media. On Twitter, #PromBat trended, complete with altered photographs that mocked her jumpsuit.

4. Carter Was Extremely Offended by Rihanna’s Comments
That #prombat thing was going on for quite a while before Rhi joined in. And it was based on one of her outfits? Who knew?

Carter had a strong reaction to her idol’s response to her outfit, telling FOX:
I was very offended. Why throw shade on it when you had on the exact same thing? The poses was different, but the outfit wasn’t … She don’t love her fans like she says she does.
5. At Next Year’s Prom, Carter Will Not Emulate Rihanna
"Alexis Carter knew her dress would be different. She never knew that it could be so painful." Lord Jesus

Alexis Carter is determined to still make a statement at next year’s prom, but she will not be trying to emulate Rihanna.
Hey @rihanna, don’t call your fans #PromBats – it’s not very nice, yeah?! http://t.co/SRf2Tv981E pic.twitter.com/zItFUYzuKF
