Click here to read the full article.
For years, stars have dug out the jewels for Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday — but with all of us at home under quarantine, any day is a good day to bring out the goods. Whether it’s a cringe-worthy class photo from elementary school or an adorable family shot from Christmas circa 1995, nothing is off-limits when it comes to sharing a Throwback photo.
The social media trend has taken on a life of its own and we love seeing celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Blake Lively, Justin Timberlake, and more stars take us all on a walk down memory lane, before the glitz, glamour, and six-figure paychecks. So, in honor of the weekly event, we’ve rounded up some of the greatest, most awe-inducing celebrity throwback photos.
Nicole Kidman
The actress shared this stunning photo of her with two girlfriends featuring Naomi Watts captioning, “My earliest #WCW’s @NaomiWatts & @HeyRiggy ????”

Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian
Shortly after New Year’s Eve, Kim shared this throwback photo with her sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, and while fans appreciated the sisters’ adorably coordinated outfits, they were more fixated on the 39-year-old’s resemblance to her eldest daughter North. “I can’t get over how much you look like North, Kim!!” one fan commented, while another added, “North actually looks a lot like Kim. Those eyelashes ??.”
