Celebrities are humans too which means they can't escape embarrassing photos from their past, before all the cash, cars, glitz and glamour. Before the time they got famous, they were just normal kids who attended prom and got photographed. Some of the pictures are so awkward that they might even cringe looking back at it. Here are some of the celeb prom photos that will surely brighten our day.
Angelina Jolie
It's undeniable that Angelina has one of the most timeless and youthful actresses in Hollywood, just as fresh-faced as her prom avatar. Despite her battle with cancer that made her lose a lot of weight, Angelina continues to prove that she is a strong woman and no illness can ever eclipse her.
Britney Spears
Even before she was THE Britney Spears- an international star and Pop icon, Britney was already slaying and dishing out looks. Every girl wanted to be her and every boy wanted to be with her. Years after her drug addiction and visits to rehabilitation centres, Britney is one of the celebs who proves that anyone can have a second shot at sobriety.
Jimmy Fallon
Stock photos are great but nothing can ever compare to throwback photos posted by the celebs themselves. Nighttime Talk show host, Fallon decided to tweet this picture for a new game he wanted to start on his show. He wanted people to share their embarrassing prom photos and memories and he officially flagged the game off by posting his.
Taylor Lautner
Before starring as Jacob in the Twilight saga, the actor was just a normal kid who went to school and attended prom. Lautner remembered having fun at both the proms he attended though he was not able to recall what had transpired over the night.
Blake Lively
No red carpet will ever be complete without Blake Lively on it. She is our favorite fashionista, actress and someone who sets amazing mom-goals. Aside from being an actress, a mom, and a wife, she is also a chef-in-the-making after enrolling into a culinary school. Her prom picture shows that she always knew that she's a queen waiting to bloom.
Rihanna
It's hard to remember if there was ever one moment where Rihanna was not glamorous. With her love for fashion, jewelry, and makeup, Rihanna always comes across as being flawless. Even her prom photos prove that she always had that au naturale, sun-kissed skin. One lucky guy, her date was!
Demi Lovato
It was not an easy ride for the then Disney Princess and now famous singer, Demi Lovato. She was diagnosed with having bipolar disorder, with signs of depression, not to mention her substance addiction and eating disorders, which made her decide to enter rehab. After committing to becoming sober, Demi has never looked back since. We love how happy she and her date look!
Courtney Cox
The internet is such a scary, yet, entertaining place. Celebs will always be taken aback when text messages and photos of them, which probably only belong on their smartphones, somehow end up on the internet. It might be safe to say that even Courtney was shocked when someone found and uploaded this prom photo of hers. Needless to say, the actress looks gorgeous!
Claire Danes
A color photo was taken on 2017 while the other was taken way back in 1997. One decade has passed yet Claire continues to be as beautiful and as glowing as ever. One secret to the actresses' youthful glowing skin may be linked to her clean record from alcohol and substance abuse.
Danielle Fishel 
It's one thing to just attend your prom and its another to attend with famous boyfriend in tow- actress Danielle Fishel decided to do both. She was in a relationship with an N'Sync member, Lance Bass at the time, so she decided to ask him out. The boy band were touring that time so Lance decided to decline. Fortunately, his schedule got cleared up so they were able to dance the night away.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer was the epitome of the girl-next-door during the late 90's and early 20's, when in acted in the TV series Friends. She also happened to marry an upcoming A-lister by the name of Brad Pitt, but they got divorced after five years of being together. The identity of the man holding in her prom photo through, is still unknown but we sure are jealous with their closeness.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus was introduced to the limelight at a pretty young age as a singer and actress. Luckily, she was still able to do normal teenage things like going to prom. She has gone to different phases in life and people got to see the many different versions of her. But our favorite has got to be the happily in-love Miley who is rocking her engagement ring wherever she goes.
John Stamos
John Stamos continues to prove to us that age doesn't effect his gorgeousness. The 52-year old actor shared his prom photo as a throwback Thursday tribute and the internet will never be the same. Fans are freaking out on how the young Stamos's hair is very on point. Though the actor later spilled that he was actually one with the geeks and not the popular ones.
Kellan Lutz
This photo is not from the Twilight actor's own school prom but a fan's, which he decided to attend to with her. The lucky gal's name is Brianna. Their association started on the internet when she won a contest and the prize was a video chat with Kellan. Years passed and the two remained friends.
Kobe Bryant
Basketball hall-of-famer, Kobe Bryant has achieved many things in his life but one of the highlights of his life is going to prom. This is for the reason that his 17-year old self managed to asked out the 17-year old singer, Brandy. Even the self monikered, 'Black Mamba', couldn't escape the fate of being her fanboy.
Will Ferrell
The year was 1986 and Will Ferrell was awarded/crowned as the Winter Ball Prince at University High School. Before becoming a famous actor, Ferrell got his fair share of doing random jobs. He used to be a valet, until he accidentally damaged a customer's car. Yikes!
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars is a man of color who experienced being stereotyped in Hollywood. This made him feel like an alien, but it pushed him to try harder. Years passed and today, he is one of the most successful recording artists in the music industry. Aside from his music, Mars has been in the news for his alleged substance use and other lawsuits.
Tupac Shakur
We would like those that rapper Tupac lived a full life before he was killed on September 1996. Upon his death, the woman in the photo, a fan who Shakur took to her prom, wrote a letter about that magical night. Shakur was killed when he was shot repeatedly while in his car. Though he had many encounters with breaking the law, most of the people chose to him, remember his kind heart.
Ryan Seacrest
Seacrest was 2017's busiest man in the world and we absolutely know why. He managed to play host on both TV and radio, produce reality shows, and doing good deeds in general. Before he was the busiest man, he was just a regular student who attended prom in Dunwoody High School in Georgia with his gorgeous date.
Beyonce
She may not have been crowned as the Prom Queen of the night, but now, she is Queen Bey of the world. The man in the photo was her ex-boyfriend, who according to Beyonce, cheated on her. She has obviously moved past the heartbreak, as she is one of the most bankable celebrities with many real estate properties and lots of money while being married to famous rapper, Jay Z.
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods was one of those lucky men who took their first love to the prom. The young woman is Dina Parr, Tiger's high school sweetheart and girlfriend. Unfortunately, they did not work out and split up. Well, better separate early than to be in a marriage that ends up in divorce.
Magic Johnson
Magic Johnson was both the King of Basketball and the Prom Prince during high school. It is very evident through his prom photos that he always had that friendly and honest smile.
RuPaul
American drag queen, RuPaul had gotten his life figured out at such a young age, which is very much apparent in his prom photo. This flamboyant photo will be a gem forever, and we are sure that RuPaul had this photo on his cellphone.
Jamie Foxx
We are not sure what year this photo was taken and why it's in black and white but it will make do. The picture may not clearly show it but it's obvious that Foxx has always been good with fashion. Not sure though if he got his beautiful date a corsage or any flowers for that matter.
Dakota Fanning
This girl-next-door beauty surely knows how to stop an entire high school prom. We may be used to seeing Dakota as a cute child artist, but she's all grown up! Fanning kept it simple on the big day, with a pink strap less dress and no chunky jewelry to be seen.
Lady Gaga
Even the 'Mother Monster' herself can't escape the high school tradition of going to the prom. The pop artist sure knows how to dress classy even when she was young. We wonder who her date was...
Matthew McConaughey
The prom picture of acting powerhouse Matthew, surfaced on the internet after he won an Oscar last 2014 for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club. The source of the photo was the niece of Matthew's date. She uploaded the picture on her twitter as a congratulatory and throwback post for the actor.
Snooki
Snooki came to the limelight after starring in MTV's reality show, Jersey Shore. A lot has happened in Snooki's life since then, but we'll always be thankful for her prom photo that surfaced the internet.
George Clooney

Beloved actor George Clooney never revealed the name of the woman he went to prom with back in 1978 at Augusta School in his native Kentucky, but he admits he still talks to her until today. The lucky lady, whom we assume George gave a corsage flower to during prom, looks a lot like actress Julianne Moore. Although alcohol was not permitted during prom, you never know what happens afterwards – the after parties can become really crazy.
Michelle Obama
Former FOTUS Michelle Obama's first boyfriend is the man standing beside her in the picture. He is David Upchurch, a divorced man and a customer service representative. According to him, the relationship he had with Michelle had nowhere to go and that's why they broke up. Seven years later, Michelle met Barack Obama while studying law.

Jessica Alba
The man in the photo was Jessica Alba's high school boyfriend, who according to sources still regrets the day he let her go. We can say that she feels differently, as she is happily married with three kids now.
Paula Deen
In 1965, celebrity chef Paula Deen decided to attend her high school prom in Albany High School. This was even before she thought of pursuing a field in culinary arts which made her a very successful woman. Before becoming a chef, Paula Deen tried being a bank teller and a real estate seller. May be its a good thing that these two jobs didn't work out!
Kim Kardashian

The famous reality star turned entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is happily married now to singer Kanye West, but once upon a time, she was once involved with Michael Jackson’s nephew, TJ Jackson. It was him that she went to prom with when she was a senior at school, and there have been reports TJ was the man she referred to as her first love. It was not TJ, though, that put a diamond engagement ring on Kim’s finger when she was just 19 - was music producer Damon Thomas, who became her first husband.
Brad Pitt
Before Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, there was Kim Bell. The ruggedly handsome actor's high school sweetheart and the girl he took to prom. The couple dated two years but eventually split up.
Meghan Markle

Actress Meghan Markle will have her fairy tale wedding soon, and she will become a princess of Britain - Prince Harry's better half. But once upon a time, just like ordinary high school girls, she attended prom and was even crowned Homecoming Queen! Obviously a tiara suits her - she's destined to be a princess, after all. This is not Meghan's first marriage, she had a first one that ended in divorce.
Ellen Degeneres
It's not a common sight seeing Ellen wear something so dressy but that's what she did during her high school prom. The comedian, host, and philanthropist, sure looks like she's having fun. We are not sure though who the mystery man is.
Taylor Swift
Another Taylor on our list (who happen to be ex-lovers) is singer, Taylor Swift. If we take a good hard look at her songs, it's pretty clear she had a normal high school experience. It's also clear that she can always pull off white dresses, with an accent of a statement jewelry.
Ronda Rousey

This may not conform to the theme of old prom photos, but we feel it warrants a space here, since a famous celebrity honored her promise to attend a ball with a big fan of hers. Ronda Rousey is a popular American judoka, mixed martial artist, professional wrestler, and an actress. And because she is multi-talented as she is gorgeous, Marine Jarrod Haschert could not help but be enamored with the WWE star. The said marine posted a video on Facebook in August 2018 asking Rousey to be her date to the Marine Corps Ball in South Carolina. The former UFC fighter accepted Haschert's invitation, honored her promise and went to the ball with Haschert, even calling him a gentleman during their date.
Natalie Portman
Does Natalie Portman even age? We don't think so. Even if she was already acting at that time, she just could not decline the invitation to attend her prom in a hotel in New York.
