Hilary Duff in Prom Hairstyle with Layers and Yellow Prom Dress

Hilary Duff looked as if she'd been touched by a magic wand when she was on the cover of Seventeen Prom Magazine in 2004, and turned into a prom princess!

She looks so pretty in her bright yellow prom dress with sequined bodice and prom tiara. Hil's blonde haircut has lots of layers and bangs.

She is also wearing a lot of nice silver jewelry--two bracelets on one wrist and one on the other--as well as long earrings.

Hilary Duff's Special Celebrity Prom Experience

Because she is home-schooled, Duff didn't get to go to a junior high school prom or her own high school prom.

"I kept saying how much I missed not having a prom, so all my best friends and I threw our own impromptu one.

"Dan Byrd, who plays my best friend Carter in A Cinderella Story, turned 18, so he got his own apartment. We bugged him to throw an '80s prom night before his furniture arrived."

Duff says everyone went out to thrift stores and bought vintage clothes for the event.

"My dress cost $50 and it was sequined white and black and I had plastic pumps and my hair was really bouffant.

"We decorated the apartment with streamers and everything. My mom made finger food and we had this big punch bowl and there was a photographer and everything. There were about 50 people."
