OK, we'll admit that this is cheating a little bit. Miley Cyrus is way, way more famous than her country music singing father Billy Ray ever was, and she's probably one of the most photographed women in the world. Sometimes, the wild child even has clothes on. But how many of you have ever seen her prom night photo? We found it!
After she was "Hannah Montana" - but years before she became a wrecking ball and taught the world how to twerk - Cyrus went to prom just like every other girl her age. And she looked quite demure whilst she did it, too! This floral pink design is light years away from anything you'd expect to see her wearing now, and is almost conservative. We love the expression on her date's face. It says "Dude, can you actually believe I'm here with Hannah Montana?"
