Magic Johnson here is killing it. At almost 7ft tall, the then-basketball legend-to-be looks simply dashing. His date definitely thinks so too. Plus, Johnson looks like he is having the plain old time of his life, celebrating his high school career with friends and his lovely date. We love that frilly shirt and huge bow tie.
Weirdly, his date is sort of dressed like Mrs. Claus. Kind of like if Mrs. Claus won a beauty pageant, crown and all. An interesting choice, and maybe not the most accurately coordinated, though the two do look wonderful. Judging by this picture, the couple danced the night away. Hopefully, his date’s neck wasn’t in too much pain after having to look up at Johnson all night.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina always struck us as someone who wouldn't actually go to prom, but this photo proves us wrong! Not only did she go, but she went all out with the lovely satin dress and an intriguing chunky necklace. Angelina seems to be sporting a makeup-free look, which obviously doesn't matter for her because she has glowing clear skin and pristine eyebrows.
We're not sure who got the golden opportunity to be Angelina's date to prom, but we bet that guy is still bragging about it today. Who knew that once upon a time, this was Hollywood's bad girl? We suppose things changed in later years because here, Angelina looks simply angelic!
Angela Bassett
You can't get any cooler than this. Angela Basset and her date do not look like they're in high school at all, though that marching band trombone brings us back to those high school days. Angela looks beautiful for sure, but we obviously need to pay due respect to her date who opted for a bold, all-white look.
That takes a big personality to pull off — so it's no wonder he scored the confidant Angela Bassett to accompany him. We simply love that 1970s cool, big hair, bellbottoms and all. It wasn't for many decades that you could match hairstyles with your prom date and no one would bat an eyelash.
Adam Levine
As the frontman of the rock band "Maroon 5," there's no doubt that Adam Levine has swagger (and the moves like Mick Jagger?) Even in this classy white suit, we see a slither of bad boy future ladies' man coming through. Everything from the long coat to the pants that are way too big makes this one memorable prom look.
His alt-girl date (who, kind of looks crazily similar to a young Liv Tyler) certainly seems to think so. In any case, this too-cool-for-school-probably sneaking cigarettes-in-the-bathroom high school couple rocked those traditional prom outfits. No, we don't have any evidence of that, but come on, if you saw teen Adam Levine, what would you expect of him?
Stevie Nicks
Future rocker Stevie Nicks was roughly "at the edge of seventeen," pictured her at her senior ball in the year 1966. However, it seems that she wasn't as hip as she was in her later years. In fact, the rockstar looks almost unrecognizable in her tiara and elbow-high gloves. We wonder if Stevie loved this look, or if she could wait to change into something a little more grunge.
Her date is also sporting a huge grin and looking like a regular old gentleman. Little did he know that that woman would soon be killing it as the face of the legendary "Fleetwood Mac." But before that was meant to come to fruition, it was all flowers and tiaras.
