These Awkward Prom Photos Will Make You Grateful High School is Over

This portrait feels like the 80s bottled up into one photo. His two-toned mullet with bleached streaks steals the show, paired with a sharp white jacket and studded collar that looks more rock concert than prom. Next to him, she’s pulling off a slicked blonde style with a strapless black dress, bold lipstick, and a stare that could stop traffic.

The red backdrop only adds to the dramatic effect, making them look like they’re posing for an album cover instead of a high school dance. It’s confident, edgy, and more than a little awkward in the best throwback way possible.
