As one of the lead actors on a hit television series with a non-linear timeline, Mandy Moore is no stranger to throwing back the clock and getting nostalgic. She plays Rebecca Pearson as a single dreamer in the ’70s, an overwhelmed mother of three in the ’80s and ’90s, and a gracefully aging grandmother in present day. But in real life, Mandy Moore has the #tbt game on lock.
Like many of us who grew up in the age of terrible ’90s fashions, Mandy Moore’s backlog of childhood photos showcase the best of the worst — and it’s absolutely adorable. Between bad bangs and Sesame Street shirts at Disney World, Moore’s Instagram page is a veritable hall of fame of relatably laughable Throwback Thursday pictures. Of course, she was an insanely cute child, but she was also a famous teen pop superstar who modeled portable CD players, had her likeness on the side of a van, and posed with Justin Timberlake. Yeah, Mandy Moore definitely wins Throwback Thursday. Take a walk to remember down memory lane with this unparalleled collection of nostalgic snaps!
