Abby Lee Miller's Throwback Thursday: A Nostalgic Look At High School Memories

In a delightful twist of nostalgia, reality TV star Abby Lee Miller recently shared a glimpse into her past with a high school senior portrait that has taken social media by storm. As fans celebrate Throwback Thursday, Abby's post not only evokes memories of adolescence but also highlights the enduring popularity of certain hairstyles. The infamous side ponytail, a hallmark of the early ’80s, graced her formal portrait, prompting her to question her fashion choices back then.

This throwback moment is more than just a trip down memory lane; it has sparked conversations among fans who couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Abby and JoJo Siwa, her protégé from the show Dance Moms. As one fan pointed out, the resemblance between their side ponytails is uncanny, capturing the hearts of followers who relish in these shared fashion statements across generations.

Abby’s nostalgic reflection is a reminder that style is cyclical. Not only did she dig up her high school memories, but she also shared a photo of herself at 14, showcasing her love for dance and the iconic side ponytail paired with a bow—an accessory reminiscent of JoJo’s signature look. As fans rejoice in these throwback moments, Abby Lee Miller continues to inspire new generations of dancers with her passion and flair.

In honor of Throwback Thursday, Abby Lee Miller revealed her high school senior portrait! To Abby’s dismay, she was rocking her trademark early ’80s hairdo: the infamous side ponytail. “What was I thinking? I can’t believe I took a formal portrait w/ my side pony?” Abby wrote underneath the nostalgic post, which she shared on April 16.

Fans didn’t join in Abby’s horror, though. Instead, they couldn’t help but notice Abby’s side pony looked just like JoJo Siwa’s, who’s not too far off from how old Abby was in the throwback portrait! “JoJo Siwa?” wrote one fan, while another follower commented, “JOJO whoo!?”

This wasn’t the first time fans saw a striking resemblance between Abby and her 16-year-old Dance Moms protégé, even if they rocked the same hairstyle four decades apart! Abby has been feeling nostalgic as of late because the Lifetime star also dug up a photo of herself at 14 years old with her very first dance student (she’s been hustling for years). Not only was Abby wearing a side pony as well, but a bow as well—AKA, JoJo’s trademark accessory.

Abby actually dropped a reference to this iconic high school portrait during her exclusive interview with HollywoodLife in April! “I teased [JoJo] about the side ponytail but I rocked the side ponytail, even [in] my high school graduation picture,” Abby had told us. “I wore a side ponytail [when] everyone had their hair pretty down. And I always had a bow. It wasn’t like a big giant JoJo bow but it was like a ribbon tied bow. But that was my go-to and I always wore a ponytail; my dad used to make my ponytail so tight, like he’d pull my eyebrows up for dance class.” Consider this foreshadowing!
