French term or phrase: La preuve
Le Marcel n’est pas la chasse gardée des garçons. La preuve ? Cette version body volée aux hommes toute en féminité et en maille ajourée. Ils ne sont pas prêts de vous le reprocher…

I know La preuve : means proof...Here how to express it so it glorifies the text.
I want to use it as expression.
