High school senior Jessica Casanova reached for the stars on Twitter — and she grabbed one. A few months ago, Casanova asked “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez if she could borrow one of her dresses for prom. Gina, being the classy, gracious and very loving person she is, made sure Jessica’s dreams came true. Here’s how it all went down. Get ready to feel all warm and fuzzy.
This is the tweet that started it all.
@HereIsGina so would love to wear your golden globes dress to prom ?

We’ve all wanted to do this, right?
Which dress? This dress, but there was a problem.

Gina Rodriguez, who responded to the fan in less than two hours, doesn’t own that dress.

But it’s OK, because Gina had a plan.
But she does own this dress…

And Twitter’s collective hearts started to beat like super fast.
And she was determined to make her Casanova’s dream come true, so Gina offered her black dress instead.

Clearly all of Gina’s fans were onboard to see this happen. Positive peer pressure at its finest.

“I don’t know what made me do it,” Jessica told Buffalo News about tweeting Gina in the first place. “I got chills,” she continued when talking about trying it on.

Gina even sent Jessica a video to make sure her prom night was going well. Why? Because Gina is classy AF. “Even though she’s filming a movie right now in London, she took her time to actually take a break and respond to me, making sure that my night was going well, which I appreciate that very much,” Jessica told TWC News Buffalo.
Jessica (and her date) totally slayed like Gina did when she won her Golden Globe.
