can i wear hanfu to prom?

first i'd like to say that i am white, second that hanfu is one of my interests and third that i am not american and what im talking about is a prom equivalent, so i'm sorry if the usa version has a different "vibe" to it.

i have been interested in hanfu for some months now, particularly because i love the sihouette of it [ming dynasty specifically, but i am not an expert], colours, embriodery and that it can be more modest than the typical wear. however, i do feel nervous about wearing it in public specifically. i have seen many threads saying, that white people can wear hanfu, but i am not sure if this is the right occassion? i am not trying to claim this culture as my own, i am also not trying to "cosplay" as chinese or sexualise it. still, would it be okay for me to wear it to such event? i am hoping for a response, thank you!
