Celebrity Prom Photos

Lizzy Caplan, Senior Year 2000

Prom is arguably one of the biggest nights of any high-schooler’s life, and believe it or not, at one point even celebrities were teenagers who just wanted to have some good old fashioned fun during this sacred right of passage.
From stars like Food Network’s Paula Deen (who looks like she’s channeling her inner-Jackie O.) to mega-star Britney Spears, Oscar winner Halle Berry and many more, we assembled a gallery of celebrity prom pics that are sure to keep you clicking.
As prom season approaches in the coming months, maybe you want to do a bit of a tribute to some of your favorite celebs’ get-ups for the big night. Sure, the fashion might have gotten a bit dated, but at least you’ll be original!

Rumor you've got no hair


My prom was so mediocre. I was on court but ended up losing to the girl whose mother did the counting...in what world is that fair?

I was asked to my junior prom on a calculator.
britney_bobana 2nd-Apr-2011 12:59 am (UTC)
aww!
stopthedisco 2nd-Apr-2011 01:03 am (UTC)
Aww that's really cute. That reminds me, someone asked one of my classmates to Prom by sending her an anonymous message to go to the school store to pick up an "urgent package" and he was there with flowers and asked her to Prom right there and then. :')
mcwicca 2nd-Apr-2011 01:20 am (UTC)
It wasn't really that cute because I didn't like the kid and he'd liked me since my freshman year. He later yelled at me for not going with him and to this day still tries to get me to go out with him (I'm 22). It's creepy tbh.
nbyevu 2nd-Apr-2011 01:10 am (UTC)
I had to ask my date...that was 6 years ago. He just came out of the closet last year.
violue 2nd-Apr-2011 01:13 am (UTC)
was it a T100 or whatever those are?

cause all I can do on regular calculators are boobies and oil
yourlivewire 2nd-Apr-2011 04:34 am (UTC)
i didn't think i could afford to go my junior year and the guy who asked me thought i was turning him down at first. i felt really bad, but i ended up being able to go so all was well. :)
extremisttt 2nd-Apr-2011 04:43 am (UTC)
My junior prom date got on one knee and asked with a ring box and slip of paper inside it.
I screamed "NO" but went with him anyway.

My hair. I asked for Veronica Lake, just got ~pretty.



Also, my crush didn't even want to go to prom, so I brought a bunch of friends that were already in college that lived in a completely different city.

mycousinmufasa 2nd-Apr-2011 01:45 am (UTC)


I wanted it in kelly green but they didn't have any more and I had to order turquoise instead. It wasn't until like a year later that I found out it was a knock-off of a Valentino dress Salma Hayek wore to the Oscars. http://www.marieclaire.com/cm/marieclaire/images/RG/Salma-Hayek-wi-med.jpg Oh well, I love that dress.

I do, in fact, have hair, it's just clipped to the other side.
Also, my dress was only $22, FUCK YEAH

I don't know why they're so tiny!



I tried the dress on originally as a joke because it was so ugly on the hanger but then I actually liked it and bought it... I always liked the hair though!
vehiclesshockme 2nd-Apr-2011 04:29 am (UTC)
I don't have a picture on my computer from my Prom. I do have one of my dress though because I wore it again a few years after for a Halloween costume (I was a fairy). This picture doesn't do it justice. It was totally sparkly and poofy and had eight layers of tool.

captaintrash 2nd-Apr-2011 05:10 am (UTC)

Sophomore year, 2005; the prom theme was "apocalypse". Needless to say, I went to an alternative school.
trixielollipop 2nd-Apr-2011 05:15 am (UTC)


My sophomore year (2002) with my senior, redneck, ex-boyfriend. I was heavier around this time than any other year in HS though! D:
elcynic619 Oh HELL yes. 2nd-Apr-2011 08:45 am (UTC)
Velvet and Satin Jessica McClintock Motherfucker!!



Ironically, my date is now actually in a Joy Division tribute band in Seattle.

Even better? I found this "getting ready" photo. Yes, this was back before teenagers discovered irony.The late 80's, (well, 1990) it was a simpler time.

prom 2006. i paid way too much for my dress so we thought it would be a good idea to get my dates outfit from a thrift store. he looked like shit.

I wanted to wear a princess-y dress, since I knew I would probably never get a chance to again, but it ended up being kind of a pain in the butt cause it was really hot/difficult to dance in. Anyway, I'm still really happy that I wore it :)

This was the most expensive dress I've ever owned, and I loved it.

And this was the boy I had a crush on who whispered in my ear "you look beautiful tonight", thus marking my first and basically last romantic moment ever. lol

Prom was fun for about an hour, then i was ready to go home. not to mention my cousin found a date for me and i only met him once prior to the dance.
evenstarsfall 2nd-Apr-2011 01:00 am (UTC)
Zero chance that is a prom picture of Natalie.
saikaro_x 2nd-Apr-2011 01:01 am (UTC)
That's what I thought too...looks like a photo from a premiere or something.

Wow, I never would have guessed that was Debra Messing.
trixielollipop 2nd-Apr-2011 04:57 am (UTC)
I LAHV the guy she's with. Best herp-derp face I've seen in so long.
railway 3rd-Apr-2011 07:32 am (UTC)
Damn you Trix, I was coming in here solely to say that Debra's date was bringing the derp.
comalies 2nd-Apr-2011 01:00 am (UTC)
Eh, prom was boring. Wish I hadn't wasted the money. Tbh though it was almost worth it just to see everyone's faces when I showed up in a pink dress.
__orangeglo 2nd-Apr-2011 01:00 am (UTC)
prom was so expensive, jfc
comalies 2nd-Apr-2011 01:03 am (UTC)
Mine wasn't too bad, I got a relatively inexpensive dress and cheap shoes. My friend made everyone dinner so that also saved money. But that was still a good $100 I could have used for something...better.
runandtelldat 2nd-Apr-2011 01:10 am (UTC)
I didn't go. I couldn't talk myself into spending that much money on dancing in the school's cafeteria in a fluffy dress.
hoot 2nd-Apr-2011 01:37 am (UTC)
The best parts of prom were getting ready for prom and hanging out after prom. The dance itself was forgettable.
a_klutz 2nd-Apr-2011 02:27 am (UTC)
Exactly why I didn't waste my money on that shit. 150 for the ticket, an extra 150 for the date, dress, shoes, i can do my own makeup and hair but still, THEN an extra 50 for the after-ball?

And that happens TWICE!!

fuck that. Waste of money that I'd rather spend in Germany. FUCK YEAH.
fullxcliphxc 2nd-Apr-2011 03:25 am (UTC)
I feel so weird because prom is a big deal where I live. 92% of last year's graduating class went to prom and for my class this year we expect the same numbers.

We have Junior Senior Bnaquet which is the announcement of superlatives and us passing the torch down to juniors. Then the morning/afternoon of prom we have Grand March in which family, friends, etc sit in an audience and each person walks on a red carpet to show off their outfit. Then we have dinner and the dance. It's so serious that'd you be a fool to miss in my town. :(

I feel really spoiled now. My shoes are $200, my dress is $350, our limo is going to be $50 each person, prom tickets are $20, and our beach house that we've rented out for a week is $200 a person.
hardcoresince3 2nd-Apr-2011 07:37 am (UTC)
I didn't go to prom. instead I used the money on a trip to new york after I graduated =)
4 years later and I definitely don't regret it

mine was expensive as, but my graduating class was like 500 people so we had to have it at some swanky ass ballroom in philadelphia.
magnolianight 2nd-Apr-2011 01:00 am (UTC)
I broke my finger at prom. Like the nailbed popped OUT FROM UNDER THE SKIN. And the tip broke and I went to the ER. I spent my whole next day on vicodin.
magnolianight 2nd-Apr-2011 01:02 am (UTC)


That was from my senior prom. No broken fingers that time. Omg, I can't believe that was five years ago.
