I happen to be one of those people who loves going through old photos. They really don’t even have to be my own. So I happen to love when celebrities share old photos of themselves, or when the internet digs them out of a crate somewhere. Check out some of my favorites on the following pages.

Faith Evans

I can’t ever remember seeing Faith with Black hair. She was too cute!

Taraji P. Henson

Adorable!

Solange

Listen, Solange has been giving you face and attitude since the nineties.

Tracee Ellis Ross

We remember this Tracee!

Monica

Looking at Monica’s throwback picture, it’s no wonder her debut album was titled Miss Thang. And we know Brandy just loved that second one.

Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon is good for sharing a throwback. Seems like we get a new one from him almost every week, usually one featuring another celebrity or two. This one, complete with shade, stars Mya.

Laila Ali

Laila Ali has been known to make some very interesting, side-eye-worthy comments. But we can’t help but gush over these two pictures.

Outkast, Erykah and Seven

Since it seems that Erykah and Andre are determined never to rekindle their romance, we’ll have to settle for these throwbacks.

Cissy, Whitney and Bobbi

This one is heartbreaking.

Will Smith and Karyn Parsons

Nice to see they went out with a bang.
