Here’s how other first children tackled their high school proms.

1. Malia Obama’s embarrassing night

“We took what was perhaps unfair comfort in the knowledge that Malia’s security detail would basically ride the boy’s bumper all the way to the restaurant where they were going for dinner before the dance and would remain on quiet duty throughout the night,” Michelle wrote. But Malia – who begged her parents to “just be cool” on prom night – confessed the experience of going to prom was “excruciating”.

Sasha Obama’s prom experience was first revealed when a Twitter user shared images of a then 17-year-old Sasha with her date, Chris Milton. The social media user wrote: “When your lil cousin take[s] Sasha Obama to prom.”

It was a family affair – Malia and Michelle joined Sasha in another shot. In images posted later that were clearly from the same day, Barack was also present, appearing in a photograph with his family donning the same outfits.

I had the prom dress and everything and I was ready to go,” Jenna told Hello! magazine. “He dumped me and then he invited the prettiest girl in school.”

Chelsea dazzled in a full-length silver-grey skirt and a black sleeveless top under a black cape, topping off the ensemble with a wrist corsage. White House reporters let the first daughter and her peers enjoy the rest of the night on their own. Bill and Hillary also opted to have dinner in nearby Maryland later in the night so as not to cramp their 17-year-old’s style while she attended a riverboat prom.

Chelsea also attended her junior prom the previous year. She donned a sleeveless periwinkle-blue dress, the Chicago Tribune reported.
