My best friend is my prom "date" since my boyfriend doesn't want to go. She was going to wear a tux to match my dress (dark red) but another girl im friends with is going with her girlfriend and is wearing a tux! I wanted our outfits to be unique. Does anyone have any ideas besides her going in a tux that we could do to be different from everyone else? Since we arent going to be the only "girl couple" and the only girl in a tux..
I know its kind of immature, but i want to be unique!

However, when it comes right down to it, you're just going to have to bite the bullet and acknowledge that you won't be unique in that regard. You certainly can't ask them to change their plans. What you might be able to do is talk to them and ensure that the tuxedos that your "dates" choose are sufficiently different from each other that it won't invite direct comparison. Maybe your "date" could wear a top hat or something?
Of course, another possible solution is that she could wear a dress instead. This won't solve the matter of you not being "unique", because every other girl (save one) will also be wearing a dress, but it will save you from being compared to them.
By the way, as a former prom photographer, I have this request on behalf of my comrade who will be at your event: please tell him whether you want to be posed as a couple, or as friends. It's a difficult question for a photographer to ask for fear of offending a customer, and you'll get a better picture if you can just volunteer that answer.
