6 Celebrity Prom Pictures

Prom season is in full swing, and you know what that means—box tuxedos, up-dos, corsages, and inevitably cringe-inducing prom date photos. Celebrities really are just like us -- they go to prom wearing goofy dresses and take photos with that sunset backdrop too. Don't believe me? If you're looking from some prom dresses or hair inspiration, or you just want to laugh at how celebrities looked before they were famous, check out these celebrity prom pictures.

Sarah and Todd Palin
Considering this photo of Sarah and Todd Palin was taken in the '80s, the most awkward thing about it is how they both look pretty normal. Oh, and that demonic-looking chair that's creeping up behind them.

Taylor Swift's Prom Photo
OK, so this wasn't that long ago, but doesn't Taylor Swift look adorable with her prom date?

Natalie Portman's Prom Photo
Before she was a gorgeous Oscar nominee, Natalie Portman was just a normal girl heading to prom with her friends (and a giant corsage, but that's OK).

Jennifer Aniston's Prom Photo
Jennifer Aniston got to re-live her prom days in a couple "Friends" episodes, but we think she was cuter in real life.

Demi Lovato's Prom Photo
Demi Lovato has a very impressive limo for prom (that would be a Rolls Royce for you non-car aficionados), her prom dress is pretty too.

Michelle Obama's Prom Photo
Michelle Obama is rocking a pretty racy prom dress -- do you see the leg slit? Side note: her date looks old enough to be her dad, but that might just be the mustache.

It's so much fun looking at celebrity prom pictures from before they were famous, but I love looking at their prom dates even more. What do you think?
