Prom season is here, and these A-list kids are ready to make some memories.
The biggest dance of high school is a rite of passage for most kids, including ones with A-list parents or impressive acting résumés of their own. And no matter how famous they are, these A-listers can’t help but pose for those adorable – or adorably awkward – photos snapped beforehand.
Some famous kids have access to closets of couture for their prom, while others opt for the more traditional ruffled tux or poofy dress. But no matter what they wear, these kiddos look prom-perfect in photos posted by their famous parents.
Milania & Gabriella Giudice
Wrote mom Teresa Giudice on this photo of her daughters attending her second-eldest Gabriella’s senior prom together, “Gabriella’s Senior Prom 💖 The girls were so excited when Milania got asked to go to Gabriella’s prom so they could share a fun night together before she goes off to college 🥰 I love their bond.”

The actress posed with her two younger daughters with ex Jason Sehorn, Avery Grace (middle) and Emery Hope, ahead of Avery’s 2023 junior prom. The proud mom’s verdict on the gala-bound group? “All of you looked AMAAAAYYYYZING!” she wrote.

Sofia Pagan
Leah Remini’s daughter with husband Angelo Pagan picked a glam green gown with a high slit for her senior prom — and posed alongside her proud (but emotional) parents.

Stella and Adeline Beador

Drake, with Cousin Jalaah Moore
Best chaperone of all time? The rapper attended his cousin’s Memphis prom — and he went all out, springing for a white Rolls Royce to drive them and hosting an afterparty at the Hard Rock Cafe for Jalaah and 400(!) friends.

Presley Gerber
Cindy Crawford’s model son got “all prom’d up” in an all-black suit, but not before a quick sock swap (is this something new the kids are doing these days?).

They grow up so fast! The little girl we fell in love with in Knocked Up is already a high school senior — and she wore a romantic satin-and-lace dress with a classic corsage (nice touch, Maude’s date) to her prom.
Elle Fanning
Elle’s prom was exactly like yours… except it was in Cannes, she wore a Zuhair Murad Couture dress and Tiffany & Co. jewels, and she flew her date out for the red carpet since she couldn’t be at the real prom. Other than that, just like yours.
