The RHOSLC cast’s yearbook photos were just unearthed, and omg they’re unrecognisable

Nothing sends the internet into chaos quite like a freshly uncovered yearbook photo, and the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City crew have just been hit with a whole batch of them.

These newly surfaced school snapshots show the cast long before snowflakes, sprinter vans or ski-lodge confrontations entered their lives.

Think baby faces, outdated haircuts, barely-there brows and some genuinely wholesome smiles.

It turns out that the people we now know for bold glam once looked like every other kid trying to survive picture day.

Heather Gay

Heather’s school photos give total early-2000s catalogue energy. She has a softer, simpler look compared with the polished, full-glam version of her we see today.

The bright blonde hair and sharp glam she wears now make her yearbook shot feel like it’s from an entirely different lifetime.

What’s unchanged is the charisma. Even in a grainy black-and-white photo, Salt Lake’s Heather looks like someone who was always going to end up holding court.

Bronwyn Newport

Bronwyn’s throwback moment is incredibly sweet with a smile that could’ve been on a teen rom-com poster.

The haircut is peak era styling with those soft, rounded lines. Compared with her modern, more sculpted aesthetic, her yearbook look is pure time-capsule material.

The charm is still there, though, and once you spot it, it makes total sense.

Britani Bateman

Britani’s school photo is exactly what you’d expect from someone who grew up performing and eventually became a multihyphenate.

She has that early stage-kid poise, the type of face that’s camera-ready even in the harshest of school portrait lighting.

Today, her style is more refined, but the confident expression is exactly the same.

Jen Shah

Jen’s school photos have done the rounds before, and they always spark the same reaction. The hair, the brows, the styling, everything feels like a completely different universe compared with the ultra-glam look she became known for on the show.

Her yearbook face is noticeably softer, which makes sense given how bold her beauty choices became later on. It’s one of the biggest then-and-now contrasts of the whole cast.

John Barlow

A very clean-cut young John with tidy hair and a classic shirt-and-tie situation is doing the rounds.

Compared with his more rugged, salt-and-pepper look today, it’s a wild shift. The energy is still recognisable, though, especially around the eyes.

Seth Marks

In Seth’s throwback pic, he has a neat, slicked-back hairstyle, a thin moustache and the formal tie that screams school portrait day.

Today, Meredith’s husband looks completely different with the beard, the outdoorsy hoodie and the bright pink beanie. It’s a full evolution and honestly one of the most dramatic glow-ups in the batch.

Angie Harrington

Angie’s before-and-after is adorable. Her yearbook shot shows her with a short, bouncy bob and a bright smile, very much giving wholesome early-teen energy.

Jump to her modern picture, and she has the sleek blonde hair, sharp tailoring and glam makeup that have become her signature. The features are unmistakably the same, but the transformation feels huge.

Meredith Marks

Meredith’s yearbook photo isn’t bad, it’s just… shockingly different from the Meredith we know today. In the image doing the rounds, she’s listed as Meredith Rosenberg, wearing a patterned sweater, minimal makeup, and sporting truly gigantic early-90s hair.

It’s chaotic, sure, but it also highlights just how much Meredith has transformed since her school-photo era. The glam, the contour, the sleek hair, none of that existed yet. This is Meredith before Meredith became Meredith.

Lisa Barlow

Lisa’s throwback photo is circulating for the opposite reason.

She looked gorgeous in high school. Her throwback is full 90s perfection, thick glossy curls, soft glam makeup, and an off-the-shoulder purple top that feels surprisingly on-brand for someone who now treats glam like a competitive sport.
