You can tell from these pictures that Britney Spears has worn the last 20 years of her life very well. You can also tell that red is really her color. That doesn't surprise us - we still remember the video to 'Oops, I Did It Again,' but it's remarkable that she's been able to maintain so much of her youthful appearance over time. The younger Spears, in case you can't tell, is the one on the left. At the time this was taken, she'd have been well on her way to stardom via the Disney production line.
The neckline of her prom dress might be a little daring for a girl of her age, but very soon after this she'd be dressed as a schoolgirl for 'Baby One More Time,' so we guess that's just the way the wind was blowing for Spears back in those days! At least the shape of the dress would have given her plenty of movement to dance - and we all know how much she loves to do that.
