Prom Night: Throwback Pictures Of Celebs Dressed To The Nines (And Some Lookin’ A Fool) At Prom

Brandy And Kobe Bryant

Who didn’t wish these two actually turned into a couple after their cute prom date? Looking absolutely adorable, Brandy to this day can still recount how Kobe asked her to be his date, and how the experience was one a famous pop star like herself needed to stay grounded:

“When I was 17, I didn’t get a chance to go to my own prom but that same year I was at an Essence event and this tall good looking guy comes up to me and goes “Oh my god, I’m a big fan of yours, you should go with me to prom.” ‘Dude, first of all like, who are you?’  We went through a whole resume. “I’m the number one high school basketball player in the world, my name is Kobe Bryant”. I still didn’t know who he was because [back] then I didn’t know much about basketball. I knew who Michael Jordan was but that was about it.”

“We were dancing; it just felt real. I needed that..I really needed to experience that and I wouldn’t if Kobe never asked me.”
