Talk About Old School: Hilarious Prom Photos From Days Gone By

Prom season is a thing of the past for most of us, but as this month sees students around the nation getting decked out in their formalwear finest for high school's take on the red carpet, we can't help but reminisce.

We convinced a few real women to share their literal old-school prom pictures from yesteryear. What we found after all the hairspray settled were more than a few ball gowns (remember when Jessica McClintock dresses were all the rage?) and some seriously bizarre tuxes. Prepare to laugh, but a fair warning: even the most dated fashion choices — and tightest french twists — might make you wish you could go back in time and do it all over again.

Not as embarrassing as I thought it would be considering all of you ladies are young. Everyone looks so adorable (can't say the same about some of your dates but who cares, right?) I don't know why but I especially love the Nancy's look. It's totally something that I would wear (probably even today..). Question: Marisa how tall are you?? Your legs look sooooooo long. Noria, I totally get wanting Carolyn K's look. You looked beautiful.

I wore the greatest champagne-hued mermaid gown with subtle beading and lace paneling at the bottom. Six years later and I still love it!

@Nancy Einhart Truer words...

This is my new favorite thing. All of these prom photos are just totally awesome. I like how so many of us had a certain style in mind we were attempting (often unsuccessfully) to achieve. Thanks, Michael Dicks for being an awesome prom date.
