Homecoming dresses989 Archivesout, and inflatable T-Rex costumes are proudly making their way in.

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sarah MacDonald, a high school student, recently decided to wear a giant inflatable T-Rex costume to her homecoming. But instead of being shamed, she was applauded and subsequently crowned homecoming queen.

"Still can't believe I won homecoming queen because of a T-Rex costume," MacDonald wrote on Twitter.

It's unclear why MacDonald was confused, as inflatable dinosaur costumes are wonderful and beautiful and made for high school royalty.

Inflatable T-Rex costumes have captured America (and the Mashableoffice) by storm this year.

Crowned "the horse mask of 2016," inflatable T-Rexes have shoveled snow, performed in ballets, and battled like a ninja -- in one year alone.

Is there anything an inflatable T-Rex costume can't do? (Don't answer that question.)
