Graduate who captured hearts on TikTok after breaking down in tears when finding out she’d qualified as a barrister reveals the moment she wore her wig and gown for the first time

A 22-year-old who caused a sensation on TikTok after sharing the adorable moment her and her grandparents discovered she had passed the Bar and qualified as a Barrister has now shared the moment her wig and gown was fitted.

Seren Lewis, from Cardiff, Wales, shared a heartwarmnig clip recently which showed her sitting next to her grandparents while anxiously checking her Bar results.

At the beginning of the clip – which racked up 9.3million views on her account @serenlewis1 – the graduate revealed she was ‘going to cry’ before she found out she passed and broke into tears of happiness. 

In a follow-up video, Seren shared with her 18.3k followers her ‘core memory [of] seeing myself in my wig and gown for the first time.’

The 22-year-old can be seen trying on the traditional outfit, with the caption reading: ‘Come with me to get my wig and gown fitted in London.’

Social media users were quick to comment on the clip, with one person writing: ‘This is the type of role model we need on here! You go girl!’

‘Incredible achievement and I don’t think I understood or even thought about this process. Thanks for sharing. You must be so proud of yourself,’ another said.

Captioning her original video, Seren explained: ‘Passing the Bar and qualifying as a Barrister is my biggest accomplishment to date. 

‘However it would have never happened without my Grandparents who I can only be forever grateful for. Taking me in at two-years-old and retiring early to care for a toddler was the most selfless act anyone could have done for me.

‘Bar school is extremely expensive and is still so inaccessible to the majority of people living in the UK. 

‘To be able to attend, they decided to remortgage their house that they had paid off so many years ago and without that, I would not be where I am today.

‘So, as much as this achievement is down to my hard work and MANY late nights, I share this achievement with them.’

Seren wrote on the clip: ‘Watch me pass the UK Bar and qualify as a Barrister at 22-a literal dream come true for me and my grandparents.
