Out of Millions of #10YearChallenge Posts, These Are the Ones You Need to See

by Emma Spedding

If you have picked up your phone at all over the past 48 hours, no doubt you will have been bombarded with the #10YearChallenge. It's a simple idea: You just share a recent picture of yourself alongside a picture from 2009. Many celebrities and influencers have shared these flashbacks on their feeds—we love Aimee Song's look back to her early blogging days and Alexa Chung wearing hot pants, a Breton top and shorts. A number of stars look almost exactly the same, such as Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Biel, making this social challenge the ultimate humble brag. 

There are some people who won't be partaking in this challenge, such as the Olsen twins, Kate Moss, the Duchess of Sussex and Cambridge and Sienna Miller, but we've delved into the archives so we don't miss out on some of the best fashion moments from 2009.
