Wearing Her Mom's Peplum Dress
The great thing about fashion is that trends come and go, and we are so glad that some trends come back to stay (did we say high-waisted jeans?). And while peplum dresses were a total hit back in the day, who says that you couldn't rock them these days?
This girl certainly did so when she decided to wear her mom's peplum blue dress for her prom night. She must have stole the show with that vibrant blue!
Making Her Mom Proud
It is so incredible to see that many moms actually do keep their prom dresses with the hope that their daughters will wear them again one day.
This mom wore her blue sparkly prom dress decades before her own daughter found it in her closet, and decided to make her mom proud. There's no doubt about it, she wore the dress incredibly well.
The Wait Paid Off For This Teenager
As this teenager was getting ready for prom, she was so excited to share that for years, her mother had kept her vintage prom dress in perfect condition for her to wear one day. She said: "my mom had been saving her old prom dress for all these years just so her future daughter could try it on :)"
Clearly, the wait totally paid off because she looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress! She decided to wear it without the crinoline her mom used to give the skirt its volume, but the simple adaptation to it definitely worked out for her.
Making Pink Prom Memories
This mom wore her stunning pale pink gown to prom all the way back in 1988, and based on this picture, she has one of the best senior military ball pictures out there. She completely stood out in her pink dress, in the middle of a pretty serious background with uniformed military school seniors.
Naturally, her daughter liked her dress and couldn't help but ask her to try it on. She loved the dress instantly and didn't even have to make any alterations before wearing it to prom night.
Rocking Her Mom's Black And Gold Dress
When her prom day was announced, this girl knew just exactly what she wanted to wear. She had seen her mom's prom photos several times over the years and had absolutely loved the dress her mom wore to her own prom in the 1980s.
So when the day came, she went to her mom's closet, tried on the dress (that apparently fit perfectly), and really looked stunning in it. The black dress with gold details in the neckline couldn't have been more perfect for her.
Striking The Same Pose Decades Later
Now, these two mom-and-daughter photos are just so delightful! The daughter not only wore the exact same dress as her mom but she also decided to strike the same pose when she took her own prom photo.
Her mom actually made the dress herself back in 1987, when she was only 17-years-old. Decades later, her daughter grabbed her mom's red satin dress and went for it, really representing her mom with pride at her prom.
A Completely Revamped Prom Dress
Who says that when you choose to wear your mom's prom dress you have to wear it exactly the same way she did? While it may not look like the same dress right away, this mom-and-daughter duo definitely wore the same gown to prom and rocked it.
The daughter decided to put her creativity and her own personal touch on her mom's vintage dress by cutting it and changing its length to something a little shorter.
Refining Her Mom's Dress Into Her Own Punk Style
Once again, this mom and daughter proved to all of us that some looks simply never go out of style - no matter how much time has passed.
The teenager grabbed her mom's stunning short red dress and adapted it to her style by adding a few accessories and a pair of All-Stars. While her mom went for a bit of a more refined look, her daughter's approach was more punk rock.
Same Pose With The Exact Same Man
Now this one is not only stunning, but the story behind it is to die for. On the left side, we can see Amy and her partner posing for their prom in 2003. In 2016, the same man, now a father, recreated the photo with the same pose alongside his daughter, who looked completely breathtaking in her mother's vintage dress worn for her senior prom.
When dad shared how proud he was on his social media channels, he jokingly said that he was the main accessory that came with the famous dress.
A Stunning Forest Green Gown
Forest green is just one of those stunning colors that seem to go well with any complexion. So when this girl chose to wear her mom's green prom dress, she just knew instantly that that was the right dress for her senior prom.
And even though she and her mom wore the dress a decade apart from each other - her mom in 1998 and her in 2017 - the dress still looked good as new.
An Unforgettable Lace Comeback
This teenager's mother wore a memorable lace dress for her prom, so naturally, there was no other decision for her but to rock the same dress years later.
While her mother wore it in 1993, 23 years later the dress was still in impeccable shape for her teenage daughter to wear on her prom night in 2017. Fun fact, that was already the second time she wore her mom's dress to school, guess she really did love it!
Decades Apart But Still Just As Stylish
This girl proudly tweeted back in 2015 that she "wore her mama's dress to prom" and literally everyone was so stunned with the result.
Both mother and daughter looked completely flawless in the spaghetti strapped gown that had a few gold details, a plunging neckline, and of course, that really dramatic slit that just goes all the way up the leg. They both totally rocked it!
You Can Never Go Wrong With Black
Wearing your mom's dress to prom comes with so many positive outcomes. You not only get to make your mom super proud, but you also most definitely save some bucks by doing so. And well, the truth is that a little black dress never really goes out of style!
Although this girl made some alterations so the dress would fit her better, she really recreated her mom's dress style perfectly.
Wearing Her Mom's Dress Even If It Wasn't For Prom
Even though this mother didn't exactly get to see her daughter wearing her vintage dress to her own prom, she did get to see her wearing it at home.
One day, she asked her to put it on and to pose for a picture, just so she could at least see what the dress would look like on her daughter two decades later. They were even photographed in the same room!
The Same Vintage Dress 20 Years Later
When this daughter posted a side-to-side photo of herself and her mom wearing the same dress to prom she jokingly said: “1989 is like, super in right now.” But she wasn't the only one who was ecstatic to be wearing her mom's dress.
Her mom followed up with a comment expressing how out of words she was and how proud she was of her daughter. She explained that the decision had been last minute, but that it was certainly the best call for her prom.
Not Just The Same Dress But The Same Hairstyle
Here goes another mom-and-daughter duo who just rocked the same blue prom gown. While the mom wore it in 1996, her daughter wore it over 20 years later for her senior prom night in 2017.
It does look like the dress had gone through a few alterations over the years, with the slit gaining a little bit more length, just enough to add a little personal touch.
The Classic Black Dress Is Just Beautiful
This dress certainly proves that wearing a black dress is just the best. This daughter opted for her mom's vintage and dramatic dark floor-length gown, with beautiful beaded details that make the dress completely stand out.
The mom, who is pictured on the left side of this picture, wore the dress to her sister-in-law's wedding 20 years prior to her daughter's prom.
Changing Things Up With A Different Style
This teenager's mom, pictured on the left, wore a black collared gown for the prom back in 1996. Her daughter, posing on the right side, decided to wear the exact same gown in 2016.
They both had unique styles that complemented the gown - while the mom went for a classic updo, her daughter had a more dramatic punk edge that looked absolutely flawless.
Keeping The Nineties Style Alive
This young woman was able to really pull off her mother's dress 25 years after she wore it to her own prom. While her mother looked absolutely stunning as she posed on her prom day in 1991, her teenage daughter recreated the pose on her senior prom day in 2016.
The black dress, in flawless '90s style, not only looked timeless, but it also really looked glamorous on both mother and daughter.
This Teen Who Was Disappointed With Her Online Dress And Found A Perfect Solution
When this teenager ordered a prom dress online and her dress arrived, she was disappointed with what it looked like in real life. It didn't quite fit her the way she wanted, and like the story often goes, it looked nothing like the picture.
So she went to her mom's closet and raided the place until she found her old prom dress. It's safe to say that things really did work out in the end.
Wearing Her Mom's '80s Dress To Prom
Back in 1986, this teenager's mother decided to wear one of the most unique dresses to prom - a knee length with arguably the coolest pattern out there.
Obviously, her daughter was able to rock the same dress as much as she did years later when she chose to recreate her mother's look for her tacky prom in 2014. Tacky proms usually mimic the exact same setup as a regular prom, but they basically encourage a little more weirdness rather than formality.
A Red Satin Prom Dress Sewn By Her Grandmother
Now, it doesn't really get more vintage than the dress that this girl decided to wear for her prom. Her mother had worn the exact same satin dress sometime in the 1980s after her own mother made it just for her.
More than 25 years later, the granddaughter wore the dress herself, and sweetly recreated the photo that her mother had taken on her prom night.
A Vintage Dress With A Modern Touch
This mom had a huge grin when she shared a side-by-side photo of her and her prom date from 1985, next to her daughter posing next to her own date years later. She said: "Who wore it better? Megan wore my prom dress from '85."
While styles may have changed in so many ways over the years, it's great to see that both the mom and the daughter weren't afraid of rocking a pale pink dress for their prom night. The only real difference between the two looks was the daughter's Apple watch.
A Black Dress Never Goes Out Of Style
Well, this girl certainly knows a thing or two about fashion. Her mother's little black dress was an elegant choice to wear on prom night.

A Princess-Like Green Dress
If there is one dress out there that looks like a Disney Princess gown, it's this wonderful green dress. The older sister of this prom beauty shared just how happy and emotional it was to see her little sis wearing their mother's vintage dress to her senior prom on social media.
The combination of black and green was just so elegant, and the young girl made sure that she didn't pass on the elegant gloves that came with it.
Keeping Her Own Style While Wearing Her Mom's Bright Red Gown
While anyone can wear a bright red dress to prom, not everyone can quite pull it off the way this mother-and-daughter did. This girl chose to wear her mother's bold dress to her prom several years after, and she even had the glasses to match her mom's prom photo.
And, of course, it's always so wonderful to see that they both kept their own unique styles even though they wore the same outfit.

An Upgraded Version Of Her Mom's Prom Dress
Some people just have the hand for designing their own clothes, and this girl certainly had some talent. While she did not design her prom dress herself, she chose to wear her mom's vintage dress with a few alterations made to fit her personality a little more.
She went ahead and put a tulle over the skirt, and passed on the pink gloves her mom wore to her own prom for a more personal touch.
A Pink Sparkly Dress Straight From Her Mom's Closet
Let's just be completely honest, this is a seriously stylish mother-and-daughter duo we're looking at! The mother wore a bright pink dress to her senior prom in 1994, and it's safe to say that she really stood out from other prom-goers with that beautiful color.

Confidently Shining Through Her Red Prom Dress

A Black Dress With Just Enough Glitter
Like many other moms on this list, this mom just couldn't hide her pride from her friends and other family members.
She wrote on social media: "Me at prom on the left in 1990. My daughter in my dress going to her prom in 2014" alongside a collage of both her and her daughter wearing the black and glittery number. The daughter obviously looked as ravishing as her mom.
A Very Chic Vintage Dress

From what we see in the picture, we're pretty sure that the dress will remain in impeccable condition throughout the decades.
Another Classic But Bold Red Dress
In the caption she shared with this beautiful collage of her daughter and herself wearing the same prom dress, this mother wrote: "The pic of me in the dress was taken in 1993. I’d say it held up well. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Tori would ask to wear it to her prom."

This Girl Who Was Inspired By Her Parents
We all love beautiful love stories, so when we hear about high school sweethearts who inspired their daughter, our hearts just melt. There must be something very special about wearing the same dress her own mother did years ago, when her dad took her to prom.
It's not only a lovely tradition, but it's also a celebration of her parents' love story.
A Chic Floor-Length Black Gown
There isn't much to say about this one other than the fact that the chic, black floor-length gown simply looks incredible on both mother and daughter, decades apart.
While they didn't pose next to the same person, like some of the other prom-goers on this list did, the mother-and-daughter duo couldn't have looked more alike rocking their prom gown.
Does It Go Better With Black Or White?
This mother shared a little bit about her daughter's experience as she made the decision to wear her vintage gown to prom, and it couldn't have been sweeter. She wrote: "I think it's the most beautiful, but I'm a little biased toward my own family….circa 1987 and 2017."
