The quinceañera has evolved to reflect each young woman's unique personality, with a wide range of color and aesthetics. At the heart of the quinceañera, though, is always the same thing: a young girl's transition into womanhood and a big, fabulous ball gown she'll never forget.
Widely celebrated among Latinos, the quinceañera marks an important milestone in a girl's life. Part birthday party, part rite of passage, it symbolizes a girl's entrance into womanhood when turning 15, traditionally showcasing her purity and readiness for marriage.
