Robert Brown|Prom night flashback: See your fave celebrities in dresses, suits before they were famous

"Will you go to prom with me?Robert Brown"

This is the time of year where youngsters in high school prepare to ask or receive this question as they attend their junior or senior prom. The night is filled with glitz and glam complete with music, dancing and, most importantly, many memories to cherish for years to come.

Prom is a photo savvy function and has certainly evolved over the years. It's not uncommon to see teens nowadays with airplanes, Teslas, or even horses as accessories. Although every prom era is different, this has remained a constant over time: Ladies don beautiful dresses with fancy hairdos and the fellas step out in their well-pressed suits and iconic ties.

Prom is deemed a "rite of passage" for many teens and before many celebrities were in the spotlight and became famous, they too attended prom.

Take a look at celebrities from years past in their prom attire commemorating the big event:
