Meg Ryan, Senior Prom at Bethel High School in Fairfield, Connecticut (1979), and Meg Ryan Today

The very lovely Meg Ryan seems mesmerized by her date’s groovy tux, but let’s face it, she’s really the looker of that pair. Already an aspiring actress in this prom candid, Ryan landed a full-time role on the soap As the World Turns just three years later. Since then she’s become one of film’s most beloved rom-com queens and the mom to Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games), a second-generation Hollywood thespian ready follow in mom’s footsteps.

George Clooney, Augusta High School in Augusta, Kentucky (1979), and George Clooney Today

Okay, George Clooney in high school wasn’t as suave and debonair as he is today, but his prom date sure looks thrilled to be on his arm just like any lady would be today. At the time, George had intended to be a pro baseball player, but he sadly didn’t make the cuts. Instead he went into acting, and speaking for the ladies, we’re all very, very grateful.

Before she was Fergie, Stacy Ferguson started performing as a kid doing voice-artist work for two made-for-television Peanuts cartoons and as a singer on Kids Incorporated. So it’s no surprise that Stacy already looked like a star at her high school prom.

Is that modest girl in the long skirt the future vino aficionado Jules Cobb of Cougar Town and Monica Gellar of Friends fame? Yes, that’s Southern lass Courteney Cox attending her prom in a very demure outfit. She’s gotten a lot more hip since her days in L.A., but she still looks good!

Ashton Kutcher, Senior Prom at Clear Creek Amana High School in Homestead, Iowa (1996), and Ashton Kutcher Today

It looks like Ashton Kutcher’s been the life of the party since his high school days, when he rocked the dance floor at his senior prom. With the slicked-back hair and full-on boogie moves, it’s not hard to imagine Kutcher tearing it up so much at college a few months later that he got thrown out of his dorm room for being too “wild.” The firebrand is still making waves on TV in Two and a Half Men and with movies like No Strings Attached.

Reese Witherspoon, Senior Prom at Harpeth Hall Academy in Nashville, Tennessee (1994), and Reese Witherspoon Today

A good Southern girl and high school cheerleader, Reese Witherspoon looked sweet as a rose at her senior prom in Nashville. A self-described type-A overachiever, Witherspoon had already been in seven films, including The Man in the Moon, by the time she danced at her prom. Today, Reese is an Academy Award winner and the mother of three.

Will Ferrell, Senior Winter Ball at University High School in Irvine, California (1986), and Will Ferrell Today

Why are we not surprised that funnyman Will Ferrell wore a tiara at his University High School winter formal? While his date certainly looks prettier in her lei and pearls, we give Ferrell an A for effort with his hair accessories. It’s actually surprising that 40 movies into his stellar acting career we haven’t seen Will play a prom king, or even attempt a full-out drag comedy. He certainly looks like he could nail it.

The Jersey Shore queen showed the candid senior prom camera some pearly whites with her friends back in Marlboro, New York. Six years later and the attention getter is now an international superstar.

Shaq was a smooth operator at his senior prom with his date in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Even as a teenager, Shaquille O'Neal knew how to wear the bow tie, and since then, as a basketball superstar and actor, O'Neal is still a fashion star. Of course, he takes those suits, ties, and shoes in extra tall and extra large, but that’s how a pretty NBA player rolls.

Do you think Ryan Seacrest emceed his senior homecoming dance? He certainly looked the part with his dapper suit, boutonnière, and perfectly coifed hair. Not much has changed for him looks-wise in 20 years, except Ryan Seacrest can grow the five o'clock shadow with confidence now. A radio host, the American Idol master of ceremonies, and a TV producer, Seacrest has come a long way from his Georgia roots.

Would you expect anything less from a true Southern lady than a perfect prom picture? The then raven-haired beauty was dressed in traditional Southern style for her Albany, Georgia, senior prom. Since then the silver-haired Savannah resident, restaurateur, and cookbook queen has built an impressive cooking empire reflecting her classy, down-home style.

What a blast from the more innocent past of then child actor Lindsay Lohan at her freshman homecoming dance in Spring Harbor, New York. Kicking back with her buddies at the dance, Lohan was just breaking out, with The Parent Trap fresh on her resume. It’s been a rockier road since then for Lohan, but it’s nice to see the actress in happier days.

Okay, model and actress Brooklyn Decker was always gorgeous from the looks of her high school homecoming picture, where she’s rocking a sleek, floor-length gown. Nowadays, Decker is a lot blonder but looking just as impressive as a Sports Illustrated cover girl (2010) and playing Samantha Shane, the girlfriend of Taylor Kitsch’s Lt. Alex Hopper, in the international blockbuster Battleship.
