It's that time again: prom season! And if you thought your old pics were bad, don't worry -- these stars know how you feel! (OK, some of them look straight up gorgeous because of course they do.)
John Krasinski
Before DJ-ing a live-streamed prom special from his "Some Good News" YouTube channel, the Office alum shared this gem from his own big high school night. "First of all... you’re welcome. Second of all I can’t take it anymore how much you are all missing your prom. So let’s do something about it!" he wrote on Instagram.
Elle Fanning
The actress couldn't make her senior prom in 2016 because she was promoting her film, The Neon Demon, at the Cannes Film Festival in France -- so prom came to her! "Thank you, @basquitwat for flying out since I could not be home and making our prom night one to remember forever!" she shared. The pair ended up turning the Cannes red carpet into their prom, with Fanning wearing a stunning, flower-adorned tulle Zuhair Murad gown for the occasion.
Candace Cameron Bure
DJ and Steve forever! The Full House star took her onscreen TV boyfriend to her off-screen prom. "#TBT to my real life senior prom with @scottweinger," Cameron Bure shared. "Yup, this really did happen (Awwwww.)."
Gwen Stefani
The "Misery" singer could not have looked more '80s in her prom pic, but the Orange County, California, native said her dress was actually inspired by a famous old Hollywood film. "A special TBT for all you about to go to prom... this is the dress me & my mom made when I was 17, inspired by Grace Kelly's dress in the movie Rear Window," Stefani explained.
Michelle Obama
"Throwing it back to my 1982 prom night and this pink satin, polka-dotted dress," the former first lady shared.
Kerry Washington
She was one popular high schooler! "It’s not Thursday but I’m throwin’ it back…to prom!" the Little Fires Everywhere star wrotee on Instagram. "Well, one of em. I went to a few. Tee hee. #PromChallenge (I ? you @MichelleObama!)"
Tracee Ellis Ross
"18 year old me in 1990 ready for my prom in this @giorgioarmani dress, bangles and shoes," the Black-ish star shared while participating in MTV's #PromChallenge on Instagram. "Prom was fun, but voting for the first time was life changing."
John Stamos
Have mercy! The Full House star has always had an amazing head of hair.
Nick Kroll
The League star was happy to tease himself about this photo. "After the prom, I got a group of friends to go see Jazz in NYC. Shoulder-length hair and a love of live jazz? Shocked I didn't get laid in high school," he wrote. "My friend Tatyana (@pappasmirondesign) had graduated the year before and was nice enough to come back and be my date."
Elvis Presley
Back in 1955, The King accompanied his girlfriend, Dixie Locke, to her junior prom in Memphis, Tennessee.
Snoop Dogg
So sweet! The rapper when to his prom at Long Beach Polytechnic High School with his high school sweetheart, his now-wife, Shante Monique Broadus. "19. Years today @bosslady_ent Happy anniversary been a1 from day 1 ??????? thanks for my kids ?????," Snoop captioned their prom pic throwback.

Ellen DeGeneres
"Happy #PromTBT. Yes, this is real," the talk show host shared in 2014.
Jon Hamm and Sarah Clarke
The Mad Men star rocked a mullet when he took Clarke -- who would later appear in Twilight and on 24 -- to the prom when they were growing up in St. Louis in the '80s.
Paris Jackson
She's got the blues! "Only true friends dye their hair to match their gal's prom gown," Jackson mused.

Holy '80s, Batman! "In honor of prom season, here's my #promtbt - who else rocked the 80s puff sleeved prom dress look?!" the reality star asked her Instagram followers.
