Celebrities before they were famous from Beyonce to Kim Kardashian

Super dodgy hairstyles and some very questionable fashion choices were the norm for some of our favourite celebs pre-fame.

Thanks to throwback Thursday and glow ups, their baby photos, school pictures and embarrassing holiday snaps have been dusted off and shared on social media.

Did you know Johnny Depp was a fan of the mullet, Elizabeth Hurley identified as a punk and Justin Timberlake had blonde ringlets?

A-listers Beyonce and Kim Kardashian looked equally as fabulous in childhood as they do as adults, while Kate Moss and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's throwback snaps prove the pair were clearly made to model.

Others have gone through remarkable transformations including Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and presenters Ant and Dec who may not want to frame snaps of themselves from their Byker Grove days, while actress Reese Witherspoon appears to have swerved the ageing process altogether.

So flick through the gallery to take a trip back in time with your favourite celebs.
