Laura Prepon gave her fans one little vintage throwback. She carried through with the nostalgia by uploading some rare photos from her early modeling days in Italy.

The photo that ended up on social media shows a very young Laura Prepon, backstage at a runway show, long hair braided casually, wearing a simple sweater, drifting calmly beside another model sporting a lot of volume in her hair and a sleek black outfit. It was all one full backstage fashion-show vibe from the dim and somewhat messy background. What a genuine insider look into her life-a glimpse into those very early moments of Prepon’s life, just budding in modeling.
Prepon confidently captioned the photo, “Throwback to a baby-modeling moment. Backstage at a runway show in Italy.” It then further fueled the gossip fires-I’m not exaggerating when I say they went at it really hard.
The comment section quickly filled with doughy praise for Prepon. “Love this throwback, it’s so special to see how you’ve always carried such grace and light. Time may pass, but the energy you bring never changes. Always beautiful inside and out,” one admirer wrote. This feeling seemed to be the general sentiment: Prepon has had this radiant energy around her from the time she was a little mami.
Yet, because the internet is the internet, not all comments were a shallow compliment. “Did your mate get electrocuted?” asked one person somewhat jokingly-most likely in regard to the other model’s big, maybe staticky-haireddo. It is these kinds of random funny comments that keep social media uniquely unpredictable.
Another fan opened a huge debate with, “You kinda look like Taylor Swift but hotter version.” It’s a very bold compliment, given how starkly different the comparison is between these two icons, but it stresses how impressive and distinctive Prepon’s looks have always been.
“I’m shocked! I didn’t know you did modeling!! Cool!!,” many followers confirmed. Easy to forget, before she was an acclaimed actor, Prepon had a full-fledged career in fashion. It was pretty cool to be reminded of this pathway.
Then the chatter about family resemblance started. Observer commented this: “I think that’s how Ella is! My instinct tells me that she looks like you!” referring to Prepon’s daughter. It is sweet how fans often link a celebrity’s past with their present family life.
Then followed deeply personal comments, almost poetic in nature. Another commenter went on for a while with, “my baby knows i’m coming she waits for me… she’s the blues, we gut bucket, dance slow…” It was…artistic, to say the least. Bit cryptic, of course, but basically mixed into the vast variety of reactions.
Mingling in the flood of comments were some honest pleas for a birthday wish, and declarations of fandom: “Hi Laura…today is my bday…can you say happy bday to me?? this would be a huge gift…i love you,” one hopeful fan wrote. Another exclaimed, “Awww look at baby Prepon you’re so gorgeous as always. I so wanna meet you so badly in person it’s one of my dreams to meet you one day.”
Clearly, Laura Prepon’s Throwback was not a cheesy picture; it invited nostalgia, praise, love, and a bunch of insane internet humor. She can bring people together through either her acting or moments of real-world history she posed her fans to see. The post shared gave an insight into a side of her that many of her fans probably haven’t ever seen, and gorgeously, her fans welcomed it.

What far from ordinary the career of Laura Prepon has been, from Italy runways to a major television career. This time travel is just a cute flashback back to where it all started. Equally wild to think that the little mami in that photo would go on to be a loved name in the business; but there you have it. These are the kinds of stories that start after one small step, or one step on the runway.
