Prom is supposed to be one of the most magical nights of your high school career, and in many cases, it is. Young men and women get to dress up like teenage royalty while enjoying a few hours of dancing, partying, and, in some cases, romance. The pictures that are taken before and during the event are usually a great way to remember this dazzling event, but sometimes, they just serve as painful reminders of how awkward we all were in high school.
It's pretty uncommon to meet someone who doesn't cringe when they look back on the choices they made as a teenager, especially when it comes to prom fashion. This young woman made a spectacular dress all by herself for her senior prom and looked fantastic while wearing it, but many other teens will likely get some serious eye rolls from their future children when they show off what they used to wear to formal events. If it's any consolation, though, cringe-worthy prom memories happen to everyone… even these famous celebrities who look almost unrecognizable in their old prom pics!
If you've ever felt embarrassed for your younger self when you looked at your old prom pictures, checking out these awkward pics will give your confidence a boost. My parents would have killed me if I tried to take a picture like number 6! I hope these kids are able to look back on their special nights with a smile, because if I were the subject of these pictures, I'd want to burn the memory of my prom right out of my mind.
