By 7th grade, Kim Kardashian already had a signature beauty look. “This was my go to lipstick,” she writes about her bold rep lip. “It’s gotta make a comeback.”
Before the actor and athleisure icon took an appreciation for ’70s style Adidas tracksuits (he has 70 of them to be exact!), he experiemented with his look even more. Hammer dyed his hair blue, showing that the early aughts were a very experimental time for fashion trends.
“Good Lord, why didn’t anyone tell me this was a bad idea?! Thank you mom (@druhammer) for puttin up with me. And by the way, the early 2000s, fashion wise, were rough. #dodgerblue.”
The actress (and our Instagram crush) takes us back to a simpler time — 1997 — showing off her killer sense of style in a Betsey Johnson dress (that she says she still has!), proving once again that she totally deserved an inviation to the Met Gala.
The celebrity stylist has dressed anyone who’s anyone in Hollywood. Need proof? She even dressed the Backstreet Boys in their iconic oversize matching outfits from their Millenium days.
She may be married to one of the best basketball players in the game (Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade) but she has been a “baller” player herself since she was 12 years old. “Runnin point since 84′,” she captioned her #TBT photo.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star flashed back to her Syracuse sorority days, when she teased every inch of her hair and favored dresses with major bows.
Before she was taking selfies, Kim had her BFF Paris Hilton snapping her swimsuit pics. “2007 pic taken on my blackberry by @parishilton,” she wrote on Instagram.
Here’s photographic proof that Gabrielle’s always been a cool girl. Back in the day she had feathered bangs, a popped collar, “gleaming” braces and the two-face ’80s school picture.
The model took a trip down memory lane by sharing a #TBT of her first-ever cover shoot 44 years ago. “I remember thinking, ‘a bathing suit! Oh no! No pockets! What do I do with my hands? Oh wait now a STRANGER is going to kiss my neck? I have a boyfriend,'” the star recalled. “I nervous giggled the whole shot.”
Jenna celebrated #throwbackthursday with a photo of her cheerleading days, wearing her Grapevine High uniform.
The stylist made his first trip to Paris in 2002 a fashionable one, “werking” highlighted hair, glossy lips and Dior shades.
All John can say about the “soil me” T-shirt he wore with his high school bandmates in 1995 is: “I was an interesting boy.”
This photo is official proof that these two have not aged a day in 18 years.
Reese credits her cami-and-choker-wearing, twisted bun hairstyle days to Gwen Stefani. “I’m pretty sure you are to blame for this fashion inspiration,” she told Gwen on Instagram.
Melissa said this photo was taken during a time when “I didn’t have to wear a bra, or makeup, and could pull off half a shirt with low rise jeans with the waist band cut off. #nothingbutzipper. Ahhhh, youth is wasted on the young!”
Drew appreciates a good makeup look and irony, apparently. “Ps I have a beauty company! Hahahaha,” she joked about this photo of her 12-year-old self wearing some serious pink eyeliner in the ’80s.
Reese asked her Instagram followers to caption this photo of her at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 1997, so we came up with one option: 😘
The chic journalist was a style star way back in the ’90s. Tamron shared a photo working the earring counter (her specailty!) at her first job at Magnum jewelry. “Best sales person on the street,” she wrote.
The supermodel celebrated #ThrowbackTyTy — her version of TBT — by posting a shot of herself at a Todd Oldham fashion show wearing a custom spray painted T-shirt. Turns out, she still has the top in her closet!
As evidenced from her side-swept bangs and killer braid, Kyle’s hair has always been her signature. But she says her eyebrows were unfortunately “not on fleek” back in 1989.
Once a trend-setter, always a trend-setter! Rihanna says she “got the vision” for her new Fenty x Puma jelly slides years ago when she wore the must-have ’90s shoe style as a kid.
The actress’s trend-setting days started way back in 1998 when she hit the red carpet for Halloween H2O wearing what she says was “the season’s hottest accessories, visible tan lines and a general look of confusion.”
She dedicated her #tbt post to her thong bikini-wearing days in Miami Beach, otherwise known as the time when she “… Didnt know my 2 favorite things where bad for u! Sun and transfats😂#thegoodtimes #boththingsmademybuttlookgreat😒” There’s no arguing with that hashtag!
As evidence by Justin’s bucket hat and Mandy’s Abercrombie & Fitch shirt, they were the two coolest teens during the summer of 1999.
In case you couldn’t tell by her Esprit logo T-shirt and printed Bermuda shorts, this was the ’80s and Reese was a trendsetter already.
Kate traces her boho-themed outfit to her mom’s role in Hair, and notes that she tried in vain to fight the paisley with some styling touches of her own.
![<p>This is proof Julianne was a full-blown fashionista since she was five years old, calling this fuzzy leopard coat her “all time” favorite. “Even Derek [Hough] saw <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BO7enoSAvmQ/?hl=en">this picture</a> and said… oh my gosh I remember that coat! Before saying anything about the beautiful red rocks behind us!” </p>](https://peopledotcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/julianne-hough6.jpg?w=768)

This may look like any old crewneck sweater, but it’s actually an iconic ’80s momento. Charlie explains in his throwback pic that he let Tom Cruise borrow it to wear on a date with his Risky Business co-star Rebecca De Mornay back in 1982.
Today she serves up abs goals and #OOTD goals on the regular. But when she was little it was all about hair goals.
Another early pioneer in the field of fierce hair? The Victoria’s Secret model, who called her side pony “on point.”
The star’s obsession with new locks looks began exactly 10 years ago, when 9-year-old Kylie finally convinced her mom to let her dye a section blonde, saying it “changed everything.” (See this retrospective for proof.)
For anyone going through growing pains, just remember even Victoria’s Secret Angels endured pre-braces, cut-your-own-bangs days too. “#Nevergiveuphope, she captioned her throwback.
Didn’t know Cindy and Linda moonlighted as professional figure skaters in their runway heyday? It was news to us, too!
Kris Jenner may be a cool mom (wearing her kids’ clothes and modeling lingerie) but she’s still not chill enough to refrain from posting embarrassing photos of her daughters in matching poodle skirts.
And she doesn’t leave herself out of the throwback fun either, giving us a sense of where her love of pilgrim chic outfits all started.
Pro: He was an adorable teen. Con: He posed the open-ended caption: “Under the kilt I wore…”
That’s Emma and Dylan as “little doodle brains” (as Emma affectionately put it!) with some on-point headband style sense.
According to the supermodel’s throwback pic, the beauty vibe backstage at this particular Paris runway show in 1994 was “Who needs a hairbrush when you’ve got Chanel?” Can’t really argue with that.
Sorry Beyoncé‘s baby bangs. Katie practically invented the trend way before you made an appearance in 2014 (as evidence by her adorable #tbt)
That’s the face of a “happy” and “confident” SNL superstar lookalike. “I chose to look like Chris Farley and am proud of that,” the actress captioned her Insta.
Here’s the remarkable thing about this photo (taken at the Ella Enchanted premiere in 2004): A stylist (who Anne says shall not be named) helped her pick out the outfit. The culprit behind the blue eyeshadow is still at-large.
Uncle Jesse has always had the kind of hair that makes you want to say, “Have mercy.”
“When the brows were big(ger) and my love for leopard began,” the star captioned her throwback pic. We think she was ahead of her time, brow-wise … while her sister was right on trend with her frosted lipgloss.
It’s no real shock the handsome actor never went through an awkward teenage phase (he’s 16 in this photo). What is surprising is how well he still rocks a hoop earring more than 25 years later.
Karlie, we expect to see this exact outfit at Coachella this year.
The Don’t Be Tardy star’s beauty look has barely changed in 14 years (partially thanks to her carefully–manicured wigs). The only thing that (thankfully) has? “#ThemBleachedBrowsThough.”
Baggy denim. Feathered hair. Fanny pack. Is there anything “more ’80s” than Goldie in this pic?
For some, going gray in their early 20s isn’t ideal. For the CNN anchor, it immediately advanced him to silver fox status.
