Yes, before she was accompanying her hubby, AKA once the most powerful man in the world, to stately events, she was just a girl in high school doing high school things. Attending her senior prom was one of them. Taking a mandatory kind of cringey photo with the school’s props was another.
It would be adorable if that was Obama by her side, but alas, the girl had a life before him. Here we can see America’s queen-bee-to-be sitting in her thrown dressed in gold from head to toe. Fabulous. By the way, is it just us, or does Michelle’s date look a bit like Steve Harvey?
Bindi Irwin
The Australian animal lover said that Australia doesn’t really have prom, but Bindi was still able to attend the event with her then-boyfriend Chandler Powell. Thank heavens for the Americans! Steve Irwin's daughter stole the show and did her country proud by adding some Australian flavor to Florida.
She went with Chandler to his prom in Florida and chose an elegant yet fun short, black lace dress. Bindi was all smiles that night and what makes the story better is that she and Chandler had a true fairytale ending and are now married. What's more, they welcomed a daughter, Grace Warrior, in 2021, and the small family couldn't be happier.
Rowan Blanchard
Rated as the most influential teen in 2015, you can bet your bottom dollar that the "Girl Meets World" sensation had a prom, and boy (or girl) did she look lovely. Even in that very unconventional dress. Her hair and makeup were classic and emphasized her natural beauty.
Though it looks like some combination of pom-pom and lace creation, the young actress looks ready for a big night out as she poses in front of a gorgeous sunset. Rowan's novel dress really showed off her creativity and capacity for stepping outside of her comfort zone. Her date isn't anywhere to be seen here, but who needs 'em?
Snoop Dogg
Looking at teen Snoop, one has a hunch that he will grow up to be a force. That "don't mess with me" swagger has certainly carried him through the years, making him a hip-hop legend. This feels like a one-of-a-kind look — we mean, we can probably count on one hand the number of times we have seen Snoop Dogg in a tux.
And don't even get us started on the bow tie and boutonniere. The young couple with matching corsage and boutonniere look seriously ready for their big night. It's clear to see that when Snoop wants to, he can really suit up.
Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel is now a mainstay of high fashion who anyone would aspire to dress like. But it's good to know that she wasn't born that way. By the look of those puffy sleeves and that strawberry pink dress, the star of "The Real Housewives of New York City" enjoyed her prom in the 80s.
We will admit, the jewel tone looks beautiful on her, and she's definitely giving Disney princess vibes with this look. The reality star toned her look down in later years and evidently also eased up in front of the cameras. With that slouch, young Bethany may have been a little nervous.
