Singer Lady Gaga

It's surprising to see her here as a brunette for her prom though, in the middle with a plain blue dress! She still looks great though.

Drag Race Legend Ru Paul

You might have thought Ru Paul's iconic style came later in life when he launched his drag career but you can see by this prom pic that this man has always had style! I'm sure we'd all look like his partner staring up at him in awe if he was our date to the prom. You can just tell by his expression (and outfit) that he owns the room.

Actress Angelina Jolie

Actress Angelina has always been a stunner, with leading lady good looks, and this prom picture just proves that she's always had them. She doesn't seem to have aged a day, same hair colour, same beauty and same impressive style. We're also 100% here for a stunning chunky necklace!

Actress Reese Witherspoon

Maybe it's because of her standout role in Legally Blonde, but I kind of expected a bright pink floofy prom dress and curls, but she's giving a dark look with minimalistic black dress and dark lipstick! It also seems like she was originally a brunette here, too, like Lady Gaga in her prom pic. Either way, she looks fabulous of course.

Friends
Legend Courtney Cox

You can't help but think of Monica's prom tape when you think of Courtney Cox's old prom snaps, but fortunately for Cox her real life story wasn't as emotional as it was on the show's flashbacks! It even looks like her date has bought her some flowers here, which is really sweet. She looks so young, rocking a simple white dress, too.

And Her Co-Star, Jennifer Aniston

For some reason I expected Jen Aniston to be wearing a bright dress, but again maybe it's the flashbacks to Rachel's prom videos on Friends! Here she's wearing a sophisticated and simple black dress, but once again showing that her hair has always been fabulous with its cut and styles! Her date looks very happy, and why wouldn't he be?

Actress Scarlett Johansson

This doesn't look so much like a prom outfit than a night out, but she still slays. She doesn't look like she's aged a day! Her necklace even looks similar in both pictures! For her prom, Scarlet went for simple white shirt (looks good for any occasion to be fair) with jewellery and a makeup look we definitely all rocked at some point.

Pop Queen Beyoncé

Beyoncé is always a fashion icon, so you'd expect her to have started early in her school days with an iconic prom look - and she did! She doesn't look like she's aged a day from this prom snap, with a pretty white prom dress, natural hair and a date who looks like he's just won the jackpot. Their outfits even correspond - win win!

Singer Rihanna

Rihanna is another goddess of style as well as talent, so it's interesting to see whether it's always been that way for her! And this prom snap certainly reveals so, in a stunning blue number and the short hair we were used to seeing on Rihanna in her early 'Umbrella' days when she first rose to stardom. Her date looks a little shell-shocked, though - as you would be.

Actress Robin Wright

Actress Robin Wright is a key example of timeless class - she's remained stunning in very movie role she's been in, and this prom photo brings to mind her younger 'Forrest Gump' days with the blonde's natural beauty. Could the tiara indicate that she was, in fact, prom queen (we wouldn't be surprised) or was it just a badass accessory?

Former First Lady Michelle Obama

Image Source / Bored Panda
We've only ever seen former First Lady Michelle Obama in her prime years, as the supportive wife of President Obama and a career woman all in her own right. So it's always great to see people like this in their younger days - and Michelle's prom photo doesn't disappoint. Sadly, that's not Obama as her date - but this throwback photo just proves what a lucky man he is.

Acting Legend Meryl Streep

Meryl has always had natural elegance and grace, and this prom photo just shows that she's always had it. She looks young, carefree and sporting an iconic tiara alongside her floaty white dress and a generous bouquet of flowers! Her hair is simple and - if this photo is anything to go by - has always been blonde!

Actress Natalie Portman

Image Source / Bored Panda
Actress Natalie Portman doesn't seem to age at all, and this prom photo could be any movie she's ever been in. This throws back to the early days of Star Wars prequels, and she looks lovely in a light blue dress with white flower corsage. No sign of a date, but no doubt she had suitors lining up - and one probably off camera!

Actress Blake Lively

If you're a fan of Gossip Girl, then you'll know that Blake has always been a stunner - and especially when playing a high school teen. So did she have the grace of Serena at her own prom? Apparently she did! Here she's gone the extra mile with not just a stunning pink and silver dress but one adorned with jewels, of course, and a tiara to match.

Singer Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's prom wouldn't have been that long ago, and she doesn't look to have aged a day since. If you've seen the video to Love Story you probably expected to see her in a renaissance or princess-type dress, and here she proves it. She shows off a sleek white satin number with blonde hair tied up - and a date who looks fun, to say the least.

Actress Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock has always given off timeless style, and maintains her youthful looks no matter what. So it's no surprise her prom photo reveals an adorable baby face, excellent fashion sense and that fun personality she always seems to give off. Her outfit is complete with bows in her hair and flowers at the top. Adorable!

Actress Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba always has a flawless natural beauty, so it's no surprise her prom pictures are the same. Here she looks adorable in a sophisticated black and white combination with white detailing around the corset collar, as well as a subtle choker and flower crown. Fashion goals even by today's standards! And she looks happy to be there, which is always a plus.

Leading Man Brad Pitt

Hollywood leading man Brad Pitt has gone through the years without losing a single iota of his charm and good looks. So what did he look like all dressed up for prom? Well, he looked as you'd expect him to - a stylish outfit, suited and booted, with iconic hair and a cheeky smile. His hair naturally less blonde-highlight-central than it is these days.

Actor George Clooney

Image Source / Bored Panda
Another Hollywood leading man and one who is probably many people's idea of a 'perfect guy', heartthrob George Clooney seemed to have all that charm at a younger age if his prom photo is anything to go by. It's a bit jarring when you're so used to seeing him as a silver fox, though, when he has long brown hair, but that suit looks chef's kiss.

Actor Matthew McConaughey

Matthew is another actor who's always given off timeless style and talent, so when it comes to prom, you would expect him to have been dressed (and acted like) a complete gentleman. And here he is looking dapper - of course - in a traditional white and black suit with adorable blue bow tie and hair tidier than we've ever seen on him. Extra points for the wrist bling, too!

YouTuber Shane Dawson

Shane Dawson is an American YouTuber who is most well known for being the first big content creator on the platform - and for his high school prom days, he probably didn't anticipate how big his future on the video sharing site would be. Looking different than he does nowadays, Shane rocked a stylish double-breasted suit and an iconic side fringe.

Action Star Bruce Willis

This throwback photo of Bruce Willis at his prom looks like something found in 1800s archives, but thankfully he's not that old. The action star can be seen here with his usual effortless style, with a sleek suit and - yep, you guessed it - hair! Kinda shocking to see him with long hair like this, but he rocks it anyway - especially for prom pictures.

Actor Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher has effortless style no matter what he does, and if there's anyone who would be at their absolute peak in a high school party setting, it's Kutcher - and this prom photo just proves it! Is he posing? Nope. Is he dancing? Yep! It looks like he's thrown off his suit jacket to let his stylish waistcoat and bow tie hang out - complete with slicked back hair.

Actress And Comedian Amy Poehler

Amy brings an effortless comedy charm to every role she has, but she doesn't even look like the same person with this prom photo! Her blonde hair is made up with flowers, a string of pearls round her neck and a satin grown, complete with bouquet. The only thing that looks familiar for her is the expression on her face for the comedic timing of getting out of the car.

Former President Barack Obama

Barack Obama just gives off that charming ooze of always being a ladies' man. You can imagine in high school he probably had a lot of people on his arm, so when prom time rolls around, no doubt he had plenty of choice. In this prom snap, it looks like he might have bagged himself more than one date, too! Here he is with an iconic suit and even more iconic hair-do.

Talk Show Host and Comedian Ellen DeGeneres

When you're so used to see Ellen with not only blonde hair but short, too, this one comes as a bit of shock! Here's Ellen like you've never seen her - in a dress instead of pants and sneakers, for one - and with shoulder length mousy brown hair which must be her natural colour! She looks adorable in her argyle fabric red and black dress - and her date's outfit isn't too shabby, either!

TV Host Jimmy Fallon

TV host Jimmy Fallon is beloved by many for his charm, humour and most notably his talk show. No doubt Jimmy realised during his school days that he had a knack for humour and charm, so how did he fare at prom? Here he's still a well-dressed man in a black tie suit, and he even seems to still have the same hair-do, too!

Actor Jeremy Renner

Jeremy Renner has unquestionable style, inside his movie roles and out, so it's no surprise that he would have been rocking an iconic suit to prom. Not only does he show off a great haircut and smile, he also reveals a clean white suit with baby pink bow tie, pocket square and pink corsage to match.

Actor Terry Crews

Terry Crews is now a comedy icon since his appearances in White Chicks and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and he's also a man of style. Is that a new thing or was he always that way even back in school? Well, if this prom snap is anything to go by, he was always a man of style - revealing pink bow tie, pink sash, white shirt and black suit - and a date who looks very happy with her choice!

Comedy Legend Will Ferrell

It seems like Will Ferrell started young with his peak comedy, and you'd expect nothing less than to see him being a little bit playful in his high school days. And voila: here we have him deciding to wear the tiara instead of his date - and why the hell not? Alongside that, he's showing off impeccable fashion with a white suit and black bow tie.
