Attending prom is one of those U.S. traditions that can really make or break a high school experience for some students, so what better way to shine a spotlight on your attendance than by getting a celebrity to go with you as your date?

Scroll on to check out celebs like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Justin Bieber, and more -- all of which got a chance to either re-live their days as a high schooler or, for some, experience prom for the very first time.
