Before he was the President of the United States in “Scandal,” Tony Goldwyn was just your average cutie going to prom. He shared this 70s-era prom photo on his Instagram, further proving that he’s always been a heartthrob. The young soon-to-be actor cleaned up for prom with a classic black suit and tie.
Even though Tony went to prom in the 70s, he looks completely modern and classic. He has a white carnation pinned to his lapel to match the outfit of his date, Rosie. And don’t get us started on that hair! That shaggy haircut might make Tony look totally different, but that smile is still the same.
Lizzy Caplan
Janice Ian's look wasn't terribly far off from the real Lizzy Caplan in her high school days. She was definitely rocking that heavy 90s alt-girl look. These two were definitely rolling their eyes through the whole event. We can't even imagine what the pre-prom family photos looked like for these two.
We wonder how their families felt about their looks. Even if the cool blue-haired couple did go "ironically," we are loving the funky get-up and certainly appreciate the effort. We mean, blue hair for prom? That doesn't scream "I don't care about this event at all" in our minds.
Taylor Lautner
During his "Twilight" days, Taylor Lautner was once one of the most crazed-about teen actors in Hollywood, so we are definitely enjoying this throwback image of the actor in his high school years. His date surely felt like she won the lottery going to prom with (we're guessing) literally everyone's crush.
We love that classic 2000s hedgehog hairdo that little Lautner is rocking. It's hard to believe that just a few years later, he'd be one of the hottest werewolves in cinema history. Later he would come to be rivaled by Tyler Posey's "Scott McCall," but between you and us, our money is on Jacob.
Sayeed Shahidi
Prom is a big deal for any high schooler, but Sayeed Shahidi kicked it up a notch for his 2019 prom. He attended the big event with his high school sweetheart, actress Storm Reid, on his arm, and they both looked stunning. Sayeed went for a classic look in a black-and-white tux with some special detailing.
Unlike most high schoolers, Sayeed showed up in some serious designer threads. He looked sharper than a razor in a Brooks Brothers tuxedo and J.Crew accessories. To top it all off, he wore a custom-embroidered pocket square that read “S & S Prom ‘19.” How cute is that? He definitely turned heads when he showed up to prom with Storm, who wore a pink Tory Burch gown.
Rihanna
Showing up to prom on the arm of a celebrity sounds like something straight out of a romantic comedy. But it actually happened to this lucky guy named Richard. He got to take none other than Rihanna to prom! Riri participated in the MTV special “Once Upon a Prom” in 2007 and picked Richard out of a ton of other guys to be her prom date.
Richard was so star-struck by Rihanna’s beauty that he literally couldn’t function. We don’t blame him. She looks absolutely stunning in her sleek blue prom dress and simple makeup. The two had a blast at prom, dancing the night away and posing for pictures.
