Free prom dresses for Los Angeles students

The community came together to make sure local students have something special to wear to prom.

The group "Prom Dresses to Give" gave away as many as 250 prom dresses over the weekend. They were donated to Los Angeles seniors who could otherwise not afford one.

The teens were also taught some makeup tips at the event.

Organizers said it all started a few years ago, with very humble beginnings. They hope it helps the young women feel more empowered, confident and beautiful at the dance.

Marvel's first female-fronted superhero movie earned an estimated $153 million domestically and $455 million around the world -- making it one of the biggest blockbusters ever led by a woman.

The only other movie with a female lead that's opened better globally was "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
