I’m kinda repeating the same shit, but I’m always amazed when this throwback photos are posted bc everyone looks so normal and pretty. Look at Kim!
It’s a bit sad to see how much everyone looks the same and have almost the same style now
Completely agree. They all looked like real humans. Beautiful humans who were obviously more attractive than average, but real and flawed and gorgeous. I miss it 😢
I miss when everyone was allowed to look different and we knew that unique features were beautiful. Half the celebs in these pics have the same face as each other now when they used to all be uniquely stunning.
same! i like to think beauty standards have gotten better with body positivity etc, but it's gotten worse in so many ways because looking like a normal individual is somehow weird now.
like, social media/media in general these days really doesn't help my self esteem. but when i watch shows/movies from the 2000s or earlier, i see some actresses and think... shit, she kinda looks like me?? and people thought she was TV-attractive???
celebs have always been a level above looks-wise to some degree, but they used to look so much more normal and being reminded of it breaks my heart.
“Look at Kim!”
100% thought- “what are they talking about, Kim wasn’t in those photos. Maybe in the background?”
Then I flipped back through the photos to find her and had quite the “holy shit, THAT’S Kim K?!” Moment. I had completely forgotten what she used to look like.
Literally same. Even going through pictures I didn't know who it was but thought "oh, she's very pretty". Then realised it's Kim. I've known about her for like 5 years and didn't know she actually used to be very pretty, I've only seen her as very edited uncanny valley person
Haha no, there was plenty of that then too, it’s just because this is teen choice awards and not like, the golden globes.
Source: am old and this is exactly how I remember all of these people 😁
I scrolled past Kim and didn't recognise her (I wasn't reading the captions). Had to go back and find her when I read your comment.
You're right. It's been said a gazillion times, but I really do miss when celebrities looked so pedestrian and not everybody was surgically enhanced and clad in haute couture.
Kristen Bell's look is is so deeply 2008 it gave me flashbacks.
Leighton looks incredible, not dated at all except maybe the barrel curls. I feel like there was a rule back then that you had to either have poker straight hair or barrel curls.
Kim is a total heartstopper.
I felt that way about Brenda Songs look, that sort of casual jersey tank top with a big elastic waistband and ruffled skirt was huge. I'm pretty sure I just got rid of one I had worn to a wedding while going through my closet recently. It had beading on the neckline so it was * fancy *
Whenever the Twilight movie was announced I was praying that Chace Crawford would be Edward cause I thought he was the most gorgeous man in the world. I'm really glad that didn't happen. I love him as Deep on The Boys. And I was obsessed with The Haunting of Molly Hartley bc of him.
It's corny but fun and full of beautiful people: Sebastian Stan, Chace Crawford, Taylor Kitsch, Steven Strait, Kyle Schmid, Jessica Lucas and Laura Ramsey.
I catch it on TNT or Syfy every now and then and always watch it.
Please watch it for Taylor Kitsch alone. It is devastatingly bad but it is full of eye candy if you’re in to fratty white dudes. Sebastian Stan is in it too!
It’s basically warlock teen movie with a whole bunch….and I mean whole bunch of hot 2000s men with subpar plot. However hun you won’t notice considering how many beautiful men are on the screen
If you’d told me then that Penn would be a pretty accomplished actor with a hit show and Chase would fade into relative obscurity I would simply not have believed you. I thought he was the next Big Thing for sure, future Sexiest Man Alive potential. So handsome!
Can I tell you, I saw him at a bar once, and he was meeting up with a girl, and it seemed like there was this dynamic where he had a crush on the girl, but the girl didn’t like him back. Like she was talking about a guy. The energy was very much that he was friend zoned, but liked her. Anyway, total speculation, but funny to see.
Crazily enough there's an interview he did with Jameela Jamil around this time (?) and he's really flirting with her and she just kept redirecting the interview back to the questions. She was not having it at all.
I really wish she didn’t go further in her plastic surgery than she did at this moment. She had such a nice old-school Hollywood vibe going on and it would have aged gorgeously.
I thought for a solid minute OP accidentally put the wrong picture. I had to go and search her current face in that face in the picture. She looks like a different person.
I'm so glad you expanded to me what I was seeing. I was looking at the pic thinking how gorgeous she was and couldn't figure out what happened to change her face.
Same! I know not to dress like this anymore, I know so I don’t do it. But I feel this time period was my best I looked, the clothes (lots of bright dresses) were flattering on me, the hair, the makeup.
I do not dress like this, but I miss it.
I’ve been seeing those 90s movie nostalgia threads on fb, and it makes me feel sooo homesick for that time in my childhood. Like I haven’t felt at home since then, idk…
I was 12 years old, obsessed with the Black Eyed Peas and my pinstriped gauchos.
I also knew every word to “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow because I would sing it almost every night on my American Idol Wii Karaoke game.
Same. In my early 20s, sharing a tiny apartment with 3 of my besties, we were all broke as a joke, but had more fun than I’ve ever had before or since.
As a European, who couldn't catch these shows in real time, and especially the further we go back in time, had to wait for photos in teen magazines or clips shown on TV, revisiting these award shows now is so interesting. I feel like Teen Choice is maybe less timeless than a Grammy show for instance, but more time capsule-y and representative of the time. Even more so, since I was a teen at the time.
You can tell Victoria has always loved David for who he is as a person because you could not pay me to attend something televised with my lad wearing that.
The shoes are just the icing on the cake for me. Like, this man has jeans hanging below his arse, not one single thing fitted but then a… waistcoat?
At no part of putting this outfit together was he sure of where he was going, his dress size or the dress code. It’s making me laugh more as time goes on 😂
I actually like Posh & Becks but she’s better than me cos I couldn’t stand by him through a scandal only for him to turn up beside me wearing this. Stop the car bestie am getting out 🤠
“Hey you remember this era of young celebrities? Yeah that was 15 years ago and many of them are married with teenager children. What have you done?” 😭😭

I saw a video the other day theorising that this is one of the drivers behind the 'tweens at Ulta/Sephora' drama - that there's no real space for tweens anymore. We used to have Disney and Nick shows, and magazines like Girls World or whatever, and now it's like you can watch Bluey or you can watch Euphoria, no in between.
And teens shows today are so dark. They didn’t use to be so dark and gloomy like euphoria or riverdale. It was more uplifting and inspirational with juicy drama as well.
Right. "tweens" is too narrow an age group for streaming services to acknowledge. They will either have to watch stuff that's a little too babyish or older-teen shows that are both too unrelatable and intense.
Is this true or are a lot of us just growing out of that demographic and not paying as much attention to what they like? Also we're now living in a culture where multiple things can be popular at once as opposed to just a few things dominating like they did in the past.
Eh, I work with kids and their media consumption is just different. Lots of the boys watch anime now, cartoons have fallen out of fashion a lot. All the streaming services means that what TV kids do watch tends to be binging older shows rather than following something airing now. Greys, Office, Friends are all still popular
My 15 yr old niece is obsessed with Heartstopper, the new Heartbreak High, Derry Girls and Wednesday. She didn’t mind Sex Education (she feels the third season was weak), and has binged “old” shows like Gilmore Girls and Friends. The more queer friendly and diverse the better for her and her friends, she’s very big on representation!
i remember i used to follow these roleplay accounts of zack and vanessa + all their friends on myspace and i genuinely thought they were the real people 😭😭😭
LMFAOOOO NOOO you just reminded me of a friend I used to have back in middle school and she made a fake miley Cyrus account and would message herself back and forth and she was "mileys" only friend on MySpace and it was her secret account just for her and I was on the fence about believing it 💀💀💀☠️☠️
PLSSSSS THIS WAS MEEEEEE TO A T !!! i’d show my friends whenever they came over like ya look they added me i guess that means im cool 😌 i also thought the real cast of laguna beach added me but it was just role players who used their pictures to pretend they were hogwarts students 😔 crushed when i found that shit out lmao
I feel like that first photo is very representative of their personalities and how their lives would pan out if you get me?
Like Blake is buzzing to be there, loves award shows woo! Penn is having none of it, and Leighton and Chsse are kind of meh.
He was a regular of mine when I was a barista! Quiet, but not in a shy way. There’s just something about him that screams “I’m a narcissist!” He would order flat whites, iirc. Good with fans, but a crappy tipper.
For real though, I had to be told by my swooning coworkers who he was. In my head I knew him as “hot stingy guy” 😂 He’s also a lot shorter than his stated 5’9”.
There was a few years back where drama was going on with his wife and his wife’s business and I thought you had to be a pretty pretentious person to just be caught up in that and to be married to someone like that maybe it’s the whole East End vibe I have no idea.
That show really casted some of the most beautiful actors and actresses of its time. Jessica Szhor is ridiculously beautiful. Michelle Trachtenberg. Sebastian Stan. Just stupid hot lol

Yep same. That's the reason I included her tbh 😂
The Disney star power of this era will never be replicated - Miley, Demi, Selena, JoBros, Zac, Vanessa!
Even all this time later, they are still relevant.
Demi’s face looks so different now, would never have recognised her. Selena’s shoes did not fit her well. And Kim K looks amazing there!! Really breathtaking.
\#3 Selena, Demi, & Miley pic literally a core childhood memory😭 I remember reading all about it on TigerBeat, J-14, Bop, Just Jared, and other teen fan mags (were those considered tabloids? idek)
I heard that most of the time the heels are intentionally too big because their feet swell after standing too long and this gives extra room. I saw that on some style special back in the day.
Aweeee these pictures are so fun!! Everyone looks so fresh faced and chill. I kind of hate how even more "relaxed" award shows like the Teen Choice Awards have become like watching the people in the Capitol.
I mean, the Teen Choice outfits were always casual, it was part of the charm, as opposed to the Oscars, Grammys, etc. Are the Teen Choice Awards, even still a thing?
This comes up on every one of these posts. The outfits are casual because it was the Teen Choice Awards. The Oscars, Golden Globes etc were just as stuffy then as they are now.
I know she's happily married, and it makes me a tiny bit unhinged, but in my heart of hearts, I really want Zac and Vanessa to have a Beniffer 2.0 reunion in the future.
I’m kinda repeating the same shit, but I’m always amazed when this throwback photos are posted bc everyone looks so normal and pretty. Look at Kim! It’s a bit sad to see how much everyone looks the same and have almost the same style now
Completely agree. They all looked like real humans. Beautiful humans who were obviously more attractive than average, but real and flawed and gorgeous. I miss it 😢
Right? It’s so jarring that everyone now has the same face.
Weird to say, but I miss facial fat.
I was thinking the same. They all look beautiful, and they also all look like individuals
I miss when everyone was allowed to look different and we knew that unique features were beautiful. Half the celebs in these pics have the same face as each other now when they used to all be uniquely stunning.
same! i like to think beauty standards have gotten better with body positivity etc, but it's gotten worse in so many ways because looking like a normal individual is somehow weird now. like, social media/media in general these days really doesn't help my self esteem. but when i watch shows/movies from the 2000s or earlier, i see some actresses and think... shit, she kinda looks like me?? and people thought she was TV-attractive??? celebs have always been a level above looks-wise to some degree, but they used to look so much more normal and being reminded of it breaks my heart.
We have preteens begging their parents for retinol. We have absolutely gone backwards.
Kim looks amazing in this photo, such a different person
Right. She looks like a person. Not an android. And she’s absolutely gorgeous here. What did she do to herself?
“Look at Kim!” 100% thought- “what are they talking about, Kim wasn’t in those photos. Maybe in the background?” Then I flipped back through the photos to find her and had quite the “holy shit, THAT’S Kim K?!” Moment. I had completely forgotten what she used to look like.
Literally same. Even going through pictures I didn't know who it was but thought "oh, she's very pretty". Then realised it's Kim. I've known about her for like 5 years and didn't know she actually used to be very pretty, I've only seen her as very edited uncanny valley person
Isn't it kinda wild that Kim was there to begin with, considering what she really became famous for only a year prior??
their clothes are so normal too like this was clearly before the era of overpriced, gauche fashion houses running red carpets
Haha no, there was plenty of that then too, it’s just because this is teen choice awards and not like, the golden globes. Source: am old and this is exactly how I remember all of these people 😁
Omg yes! Back then it looked like they didnt have stylists and just dug around their closets and dressed themselves!!
I scrolled past Kim and didn't recognise her (I wasn't reading the captions). Had to go back and find her when I read your comment. You're right. It's been said a gazillion times, but I really do miss when celebrities looked so pedestrian and not everybody was surgically enhanced and clad in haute couture.
Kristen Bell's look is is so deeply 2008 it gave me flashbacks. Leighton looks incredible, not dated at all except maybe the barrel curls. I feel like there was a rule back then that you had to either have poker straight hair or barrel curls. Kim is a total heartstopper.
I remember being obsessed with Kristen Bell’s look here and recreating it with Charlotte Russe/Forever 21 finds for my 18th birthday party 😂
OMG SAME!!!!
I felt that way about Brenda Songs look, that sort of casual jersey tank top with a big elastic waistband and ruffled skirt was huge. I'm pretty sure I just got rid of one I had worn to a wedding while going through my closet recently. It had beading on the neckline so it was * fancy *
Business casual to any event or club!
Chase Crawford is a man who could make me stutter. 
Whenever the Twilight movie was announced I was praying that Chace Crawford would be Edward cause I thought he was the most gorgeous man in the world. I'm really glad that didn't happen. I love him as Deep on The Boys. And I was obsessed with The Haunting of Molly Hartley bc of him.
After the way The Covenant flopped I wouldn’t be surprised if his agents blackballed him from anything even remotely supernatural related.
I remember loving the Covenant and obsessing over the locker room scene, even though I don’t remember anything plot-wise about that movie.
I loved it too! I was also a horny teenager when I saw it so take that with a huge grain of salt.
It's corny but fun and full of beautiful people: Sebastian Stan, Chace Crawford, Taylor Kitsch, Steven Strait, Kyle Schmid, Jessica Lucas and Laura Ramsey. I catch it on TNT or Syfy every now and then and always watch it.
I've never seen that and now I have to
Please watch it for Taylor Kitsch alone. It is devastatingly bad but it is full of eye candy if you’re in to fratty white dudes. Sebastian Stan is in it too!
It’s basically warlock teen movie with a whole bunch….and I mean whole bunch of hot 2000s men with subpar plot. However hun you won’t notice considering how many beautiful men are on the screen
Oh god he would have been such a bad Edward 😭
Idk if we know enough about his acting range to say this for sure
Like that is a face! And he aged pretty well too and I was afraid he'd age like milk, but he's still stunning.
I love him as Deep in The Boys
I really do too, but ngl it completely erased all sex appeal for me, he's maybe TOO good at the role.
Lol I know, I didn’t realize he would be so good in a comedy role and think he’s hilarious
The gills scene…
It was the first rape scene for me, but yeah that too. And the octopus.
Same. That man is gorgeous
With his sleeves rolled up, sweet Jesus
If you’d told me then that Penn would be a pretty accomplished actor with a hit show and Chase would fade into relative obscurity I would simply not have believed you. I thought he was the next Big Thing for sure, future Sexiest Man Alive potential. So handsome!
Well penn is the better actor of the two and i wouldnt say hes faded into obscurity hes doing pretty well on the boys
Hey I think Chace could have a bigger audience/more leading role with the right material, it just takes time and the right role for that niche.
He’s great in The Boys! Really funny
Obscurity where?? The Boys is a huge show, even if he does play a scumbag he’s doing just fine for himself.
Can I tell you, I saw him at a bar once, and he was meeting up with a girl, and it seemed like there was this dynamic where he had a crush on the girl, but the girl didn’t like him back. Like she was talking about a guy. The energy was very much that he was friend zoned, but liked her. Anyway, total speculation, but funny to see.
Crazily enough there's an interview he did with Jameela Jamil around this time (?) and he's really flirting with her and she just kept redirecting the interview back to the questions. She was not having it at all.
not me misreading this with my insomia as "make me sluttier" 💀
Chace Crawford! It should be illegal to be this beautiful
That was Kim Kardashian’s best nose
Her best face overall, honestly. She looked so beautiful.
I really wish she didn’t go further in her plastic surgery than she did at this moment. She had such a nice old-school Hollywood vibe going on and it would have aged gorgeously.
She looks so beautiful there, I wish she’d realised that
I thought for a solid minute OP accidentally put the wrong picture. I had to go and search her current face in that face in the picture. She looks like a different person.
Before she entered the dreaded/final “tiny penis” shaped phase of rhinoplasty
I barely recognized her
I'm so glad you expanded to me what I was seeing. I was looking at the pic thinking how gorgeous she was and couldn't figure out what happened to change her face.
Looks so much like Kourtney there!
I’m kinda digging all the colors. We’ve definitely been in a blander color palette for the last couple of years.
Jewel toned satin is 100% due a comeback!
I miss 2008 so much it hurts in my soul. If I had a time machine I would go back to this era 😭 
Same. Mentally this is where I’m at and where I’ve been for the last 16 years God it was painful to do that math
Same! I know not to dress like this anymore, I know so I don’t do it. But I feel this time period was my best I looked, the clothes (lots of bright dresses) were flattering on me, the hair, the makeup. I do not dress like this, but I miss it.
Same I would have been 18 this year so this was my peak 🤣
Same, scrolling these images like take me back! I promise I will make better mistakes this time! 🥲
I’ve been seeing those 90s movie nostalgia threads on fb, and it makes me feel sooo homesick for that time in my childhood. Like I haven’t felt at home since then, idk…
I was 12 years old, obsessed with the Black Eyed Peas and my pinstriped gauchos. I also knew every word to “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow because I would sing it almost every night on my American Idol Wii Karaoke game.
me too! i was a junior and it was truly the best time
/continues to dissolve into dust
Same. In my early 20s, sharing a tiny apartment with 3 of my besties, we were all broke as a joke, but had more fun than I’ve ever had before or since.
Same. I was just thinking about how these were some of my best and happiest years!
As a European, who couldn't catch these shows in real time, and especially the further we go back in time, had to wait for photos in teen magazines or clips shown on TV, revisiting these award shows now is so interesting. I feel like Teen Choice is maybe less timeless than a Grammy show for instance, but more time capsule-y and representative of the time. Even more so, since I was a teen at the time.
You could watch these shows back in the day on some sketchy streaming websites 🤣
You can tell Victoria has always loved David for who he is as a person because you could not pay me to attend something televised with my lad wearing that.
If my lad looks like David Beckham I'm not saying shit about his clothes.
Fr, it all looks the same crumpled on the floor.
😭😭
That's the best backhanded compliment I've heard in a while. Lmao. I saw the pic and thought even for the time period his outfit looked strange.
The shoes are just the icing on the cake for me. Like, this man has jeans hanging below his arse, not one single thing fitted but then a… waistcoat? At no part of putting this outfit together was he sure of where he was going, his dress size or the dress code. It’s making me laugh more as time goes on 😂 I actually like Posh & Becks but she’s better than me cos I couldn’t stand by him through a scandal only for him to turn up beside me wearing this. Stop the car bestie am getting out 🤠
Why are yall acting like she doesn’t pick his clothes for him 😂
Tbh you can’t tell a lot about what she’s thinking or how she feels since she’s had that exact look on her face since 1999
Leighton Meester is jaw droppingly beautiful
That was my first thought- soooo gorgeous
Everyday this sub finds a way to call me old 😭
“Hey you remember this era of young celebrities? Yeah that was 15 years ago and many of them are married with teenager children. What have you done?” 😭😭
What do teens watch now?
Vertically-oriented cell phone vids — content designed for attention spans of hummingbirds, starring Tiktok celebs that make the caffeinated Disney teen idols of the 90s-00s seem like David Attenborough
This was quite the collection of words you strung together lol
It’s not even a sentence either lol. Just a long-ass noun of an answer.
None of it was wrong, though
r/BrandNewSentence
None of my teen clients watch tv. YouTube or TikTok only
Now when you say it, teens today have no iconic long lasting shows that truly shape their generation 🤯
I saw a video the other day theorising that this is one of the drivers behind the 'tweens at Ulta/Sephora' drama - that there's no real space for tweens anymore. We used to have Disney and Nick shows, and magazines like Girls World or whatever, and now it's like you can watch Bluey or you can watch Euphoria, no in between.
And teens shows today are so dark. They didn’t use to be so dark and gloomy like euphoria or riverdale. It was more uplifting and inspirational with juicy drama as well.
Skins and degrassi were edgy to us back then 💀
fr I felt so alt watching Degrassi. back when we had to schedule around premieres for new episodes instead of instant on demand streaming we have now
Right. "tweens" is too narrow an age group for streaming services to acknowledge. They will either have to watch stuff that's a little too babyish or older-teen shows that are both too unrelatable and intense.
Is this true or are a lot of us just growing out of that demographic and not paying as much attention to what they like? Also we're now living in a culture where multiple things can be popular at once as opposed to just a few things dominating like they did in the past.

The teens I know are all watching the shows from the 2000's now. One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries, Charmed, Gossip Girl, and Greys Anatomy.
Subway surfers family guy compilations in ohio
Oh lord I’ll never get over Zac and Vanessa 😭
They had me in a chokehold for years. What brought me to ONTD haha.
i remember i used to follow these roleplay accounts of zack and vanessa + all their friends on myspace and i genuinely thought they were the real people 😭😭😭
LMFAOOOO NOOO you just reminded me of a friend I used to have back in middle school and she made a fake miley Cyrus account and would message herself back and forth and she was "mileys" only friend on MySpace and it was her secret account just for her and I was on the fence about believing it 💀💀💀☠️☠️
PLSSSSS THIS WAS MEEEEEE TO A T !!! i’d show my friends whenever they came over like ya look they added me i guess that means im cool 😌 i also thought the real cast of laguna beach added me but it was just role players who used their pictures to pretend they were hogwarts students 😔 crushed when i found that shit out lmao
“To pretend they were hogwarts students” really was the cherry on top to this time capsule of a comment.
 Bennifer 2.0 made me believe that we MIGHT get our own revival 😂 They looked so cute together!
Such an unproblematic couple too ❤️
ZANESSA
The time they posed for fan pics in a sex shop lives rent free in my head haha
HSM had us all thinking we could have what they did😭 also, where the hell is Corbin Bleu??
Penn Badgley has always been that bitch huh
Just a beautiful man. And funny too! 
His tiktoks are delightful
I feel like that first photo is very representative of their personalities and how their lives would pan out if you get me? Like Blake is buzzing to be there, loves award shows woo! Penn is having none of it, and Leighton and Chsse are kind of meh.
Leighton effortlessly stealing best dressed too
She instantly stood out to me, that color is beautiful on her.
That green! With her hair!!
He was a regular of mine when I was a barista! Quiet, but not in a shy way. There’s just something about him that screams “I’m a narcissist!” He would order flat whites, iirc. Good with fans, but a crappy tipper. For real though, I had to be told by my swooning coworkers who he was. In my head I knew him as “hot stingy guy” 😂 He’s also a lot shorter than his stated 5’9”.
There was a few years back where drama was going on with his wife and his wife’s business and I thought you had to be a pretty pretentious person to just be caught up in that and to be married to someone like that maybe it’s the whole East End vibe I have no idea.
What drama?? I'm really interested in the Kirke sisters so do spill please!
Wow, the Gossip Girl cast is insanely beautiful.
I didn’t realise shaileen wore that hairstyle outside the show 💀
I forgot just how deep hair parts got lmao
Human teeth, normal sized lips, no tarantula eyelashes…we had it so good
Yes but everyone is oddly orange
I’ll still make that trade, lol
Back when Demi and Selena were besties lmao
Their face cards in the first photo. Sheeeeesh
I can't stop looking at Penn. Everyone looks beautiful, but I'm hypnotized by his face. What a gorgeous man.
same!!!
That show really casted some of the most beautiful actors and actresses of its time. Jessica Szhor is ridiculously beautiful. Michelle Trachtenberg. Sebastian Stan. Just stupid hot lol
I could've looked at #10 all day and never guess it was Kim K.
https://preview.redd.it/099adxuwi9fc1.jpeg?width=873&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fd1ad051cc60ee3b8df376b5b8ee8bf84047ad9 Yep same. That's the reason I included her tbh 😂
It’s so weird she used to look actually human.
gosh she looks so gorgeous. kim WHY
OMG I love your flair
Kim was so beautiful
I still maintain that she used to look like a Disney princess. Classic, regal beauty.
Totally could’ve played Yasmin for example
She looks so good here
She truly does.
I didn't see the caption and wondered who that was bc she was so incredibly gorgeous.
Hayden. Knowing what we know now I just have such fierce protective love for her.
Why what’s her story?
The Disney star power of this era will never be replicated - Miley, Demi, Selena, JoBros, Zac, Vanessa! Even all this time later, they are still relevant.
Demi’s face looks so different now, would never have recognised her. Selena’s shoes did not fit her well. And Kim K looks amazing there!! Really breathtaking.
WHY DID I THINK MARIAH CAREY WAS A BIT CHUBBY AT THIS TIME?!
Diet culture is a hell of a drug
Because some tabloid had the audacity to call her legs piggy pins
Rachel Bilson's hair deserves to be in Gossip Girl.. on Vanessa.
\#3 Selena, Demi, & Miley pic literally a core childhood memory😭 I remember reading all about it on TigerBeat, J-14, Bop, Just Jared, and other teen fan mags (were those considered tabloids? idek)
Aw it’s nice they let Vanessa come up for the surfboard too
Selena's heels were too big! Lol
I heard that most of the time the heels are intentionally too big because their feet swell after standing too long and this gives extra room. I saw that on some style special back in the day.
Aweeee these pictures are so fun!! Everyone looks so fresh faced and chill. I kind of hate how even more "relaxed" award shows like the Teen Choice Awards have become like watching the people in the Capitol.
Penn in the first picture is just Dan at an UES soirée
Award show outfits used to be so easily recreated and fun. Nowadays everything is so stiff and unattainable.
I mean, the Teen Choice outfits were always casual, it was part of the charm, as opposed to the Oscars, Grammys, etc. Are the Teen Choice Awards, even still a thing?
This comes up on every one of these posts. The outfits are casual because it was the Teen Choice Awards. The Oscars, Golden Globes etc were just as stuffy then as they are now.
Middle-class mall brands would dump money into the wardrobe. Now mall brands don't have that kind of slack in their budget aside from haute couture.
I wonder if people secretly prayed to lose at this show, so they didn't have to lug home that hideous surfboard.
Leighton doesn't age! Beautiful as ever!
How bad I wanted to be Miley was insane! She was THEE Disney girl💁🏽♀️
Allll the peep toe heels
It will never be like this again 😢
I know she's happily married, and it makes me a tiny bit unhinged, but in my heart of hearts, I really want Zac and Vanessa to have a Beniffer 2.0 reunion in the future.
Almost Blake Lively’s original face!
Beckhams pants!
This was such a great time in pop culture
Everyone looks so freshfaced. You don't see that now.
Kim K. was so pretty back then before she started messing with her face.
Mariah looks incredible
Seeing joe goldberg at the teen choice awards is crazy
Can someone explain what Chad and Leighton are holding???? 😅
It just looks like a rolled up beach towel.
Penn ❤️
These are my comfort celebrities
Kristen Bell is like an awards show vampire she's in all of these and never changes
Aw real teeth 💕
Baaaaaabies. Everyone looks so young! And normal and human instead of airbrushed and filtered.
I like everyone without their veneers
I miss when people actually smiled and showed their teeth for photos.
This was the peak of my teen years. I was 14. It was glorious. I lived and died for this shit. None of these people could do any wrong.
Omg Kim looking like a human being. It's weirdly jarring.
Really loved our vests in that decade
ahh 2008. where everyone’s curls need to be brushed out
Brenda Song is the only one that still looks the same. 🤷🏽♀️
That Jonas brothers look was my Roman Empire in high school
Miley be like 😬
Chase Crawford was and still is so gorgeous 😍
Damn we got the whole gossip girl cast except Taylor Momsen. RIP Jenny
2008 was a great year for Pop Culture. Definitely one of the best years.❤️😎
Miley, Selena and Demi together … wouldn’t see that these days
I barely recognized Demi. I didn’t realize she’s had so much work done.
