At just 23-years-old, Roberts was new to the industry and it was one of her first times at a major award show. Julia’s striking looks, fiery red hair and infectious smile led people to think that she was one to watch in the industry and her acting spoke for itself.

Claire Danes – Then

Claire Danes – Now
Claire Danes has since become a bonafide movie star, appearing elegantly at every industry event required. However, even the best of us have a mishap now and again. Danes outfit at the 2017 Met Gala was widely derided, particularly for the overly showy shirt that gave the illusion of having just gotten off of a pirate ship. Since then, Danes seems to have returned to a more classic style of gown for other red carpets she has attended.

Claire Danes – Now

Demi Moore – Then
Demi Moore was always considered one of the most beautiful actresses. In 1989, she showed up to the Academy Awards in a bizarre outfit which she was said to have designed herself.

Jackson was known for her provocative performances and outfits on stage, so this was relatively normal for the singer.

Janet Jackson – Then

Janet Jackson – Now
Janet Jackson has had many ups and downs in her life which led her to shy away from the spotlight at different stages. In 2017, she made a rare appearance at a red carpet event, dressed in this unusual outfit by David Ferreira. The fur waist coast, paired with leather leggings, a trailing skirt and gloves would look absurd on anyone else, but Janet just pulls it off like it is normal. Her slicked-back hair, tied into a braid makes it look chic yet cool.

Janet Jackson – Now

We all remember the 90s. It was a time for great teen dramas, that we miss so much, most of them are getting reboots today. Though some of them, like Beverly Hills 90210, focused on issues that teens were dealing with in high school from relationships, to school, to growing older, leaving home, and starting families, many others covered topics the whole family could enjoy. Who doesn’t remember sitting together on a Friday night to watch TGIF? 30 years on, we take a look back at the teen stars, and where they are today.

A list of 90s teen TV show stars would not be the same without the character Samuel Powers. Of course, this classic character from Saved By the Bell, played by Dustin Diamond, was better known as “Screech.” One of only two characters who was a series regular from the beginning of the show until the very end, Screech is regarded as the “geek” of his group, a socially awkward individual who often adds much levity to the show.

Dustin Diamond – Saved By the Bell | Then

Dustin Diamond – Saved By the Bell | Now
There is no denying that Screech from Saved by the Bell is Dustin Diamond’s greatest claim to fame. Since then, the actor has only managed to hold down sporadic one-off appearances on a variety of shows, usually as himself!

Alfonso Ribeiro – The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air | Then
While Will Smith was, without a doubt, the breakout star of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, his dorkier counterpart Carlton slowly developed a dedicated fan base as time went on. No one in the history of film and TV has managed to become synonymous with a pop song quite like Alfonso Ribeiro’s character has. During his time on the show, his dance to Tom Jones’s hit single “It’s Not Unusual” became one of the most iconic images in TV history.

Alfonso Ribeiro – The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air | Then
