The younger Spears, in case you can't tell, is the one on the left. At the time this was taken, she'd have been well on her way to stardom via the Disney production line.
The neckline of her prom dress might be a little daring for a girl of her age, but very soon after this she'd be dressed as a schoolgirl for 'Baby One More Time,' so we guess that's just the way the wind was blowing for Spears back in those days! At least the shape of the dress would have given her plenty of movement to dance - and we all know how much she loves to do that.
