[ It's probably one of his most endearing qualities. At the very least it's incredibly sweet, and despite what she knows about his ability to troll people she knows too that this is largely who Adrien is, a thoughtful, corny, sometimes dorky, but always well meaning, and unassuming guy who just wants someone to appreciate him for who he is.
It somehow makes his reaction to her dress all the more satisfying. If she had it her way he's the ONLY one who'd see her like this tonight. She doesn't mind the idea of dressing up for the person she likes, it's letting everyone else see that makes her uneasy. Tonight, though, she can handle it, because tonight they'll be among friends, and tonight is about him, not her.
