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? Sure, it’s an unrealistic dream for the vast majority of attendees, but every now and then a celeb will come through and show up for a dance or two. 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.

9. 17-year old Jake Davidson’s Youtube promposal to model Kate Upton was turned down due to scheduling conflicts. Luckily for him, model Nina Agdal stepped in as his date. Unfortunately, his school doesn’t allow anyone over 21 into prom, so Jake and Nina shared a dance outside.
