Ahh, you smell that? That's the smell of prom season in the air. It's the scent of pink limousines pulling into every close in England and the fresh grass that your dad just mowed, so you could get a group picture in the garden with your entire neighbourhood watching. But if you thought celebrities got to skip their leavers balls, think again. From Gigi Hadid, to Little Mix and Lily-Rose Depp, this is what your fave celebs wore for the biggest night of their teen lives and yes, I'm pretty sure their Nan has an embarassing picture of them on her mantelpiece too.

Lily-Rose Depp

Life isn't fair and how do I know that? Well because I can tell you now that Lily Rose will never, ever look back on her prom pictures and cringe the way that I do. Looking every inch the super model in her delicate, peach, floor-length gown.

When your mum's Madonna, you know you're going to pull out an '80s inspired polka dot number for your prom and that's exactly what Lourdes Leon did. Madonna's proves she's the coolest mum though, captioning the photo: "Pre prom turn up ! #yaaaaaassssssbitch"

Gabrielle Union

Our Leavers Balls can never compare to these American Proms. As if a corsage isn't enough, just look at Gabrielle's date, is that a garter around his arm?

Elle Fanning

While Elle Fanning technically missed her 2016 prom because she was, you know just attending the premiere of her new film at the Cannes Film Festival; her prom date flew to France to escort her to the premiere in a Zuhair Murad Couture gown no less, talking about a RL Cinderella moment!

Gwen Stefani

Gwen has always been a Queen of all things retro, so it's no surprise that her prom dress was inspired by Grace Kelly. Sharing her prom picture on Instagram, Gwen commented "In honour of prom season...17 year old Gwen in her prom dress that her and her Mom made together; inspired by Grace Kelly's dress in 'Rear Window'."

Ellen Degeneres

The only thing we love more than Ellen is her (as the American's say) 'plaid' prom dress. With her '70s hair and very '70s looking date, this might just be one of our favourite throwbacks of all time.
