24 Awkward and Adorable Celebrity Prom Photographs

Before they were stunning, celebrities also had their share of awkwardness as teenagers much like the rest of us.

If you think our favourite celebrities were born and raised looking the way they are today, think again. Probably like all of us, they went through bad (and big) 80s hair, padded shoulder dresses, sparkly gowns, and shiny suits for prom. However, some actually looked adorable.

Here are 24 celebrity prom photographs that will either make you squeal with delight or simply make you LOL.

1. Sandra Bullock

She still looks amazing though with a fully-braided hair adorned with ribbons and sparkles and a simple white dress.

2. Matthew McConaughy

This was how a neat-looking young Matthew looked like — not bad at all!

3. Tyra Banks

Her sultry supermodel bod looks way better than her hair. Bless the 80’s…

4. Jimmy Fallon

I never thought he used to look like this.

5. Debra Messing

With that padded silk dress and big hair, you may think she’s a mess, but, her smile makes everything look brilliant.

6. Clare Danes

Still the same simple Clare Danes we all love.

7. Elvis Presley

Who would’ve thought this simple young man would become the King of Rock and Roll?

8. Beyonce

So this was how Beyonce looked way before Destiny’s Child…

9. Kim Kardashian

Barely recognisable.

10. Brad Pitt

A look back at the time Brad Pitt didn’t see a lot of girls swooning over him.

11. Courtney Cox

Oh my, she looks way older here than now.

12. John Stamos

The hair. All the hair!

13. Julia Roberts

Two words: Pretty Woman

14. Demi Lovato

If you’re being fetched by a Rolls Royce, nothing should be awkward.

15. Michelle Obama

Can’t imagine the US first lady wearing this thigh slit dress now, but before, yeah, she did, just like any sexy lady.

16. Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer and her teased hairdo.

17. Robin Wright

Not awkward at all

18. Jon Hamm

He’s cute though. In a very awkward way…

19. Blake Lively

Pretty in a tiara.

20. Lady Gaga

I never thought I would see her so simple like this.

21. RuPaul

Slaying it.

22. Fergie

Every bit the all American girl.

23. Bruno Mars

Pretty sure his date is keen to keep him close by…

24. Calista Flockhart

Despite the flowery big gown, Calista Flockhart actually looked stunning.
