Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba Modeled for a Limited Too Catalog Together in the ’90s

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing photos of celebrities together before they were famous: the Mickey Mouse Club Class of 1993 (which included Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Gosling), Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts’ high school pictures…. There’s just something about all that star power interacting prefame that feels cosmic and weird—and when it’s documented for posterity, you just can’t look away.

Which is why this Limited Too ad from the nineties that Jessica Alba shared to Instagram Thursday (January 25) is so fascinating. First of all, booking a Limited Too campaign was pretty much every preteen’s dream during that era, so let that sink in. Then there’s the fact that Alba is photographed wearing some bold Limited Too–branded ski wear…alongside fellow now-famous-person Jessica Biel.

Yes, before they became blockbuster movie stars and lifestyle icons, Alba and Biel were just two tweens who modeled for Limited Too catalogue together. “#Tbt this was one of my only ‘real’ modeling jobs,” she captioned the pictures. (The three additional models who appear alongside them are unidentified.) “I met �� @jessicabiel, I think I was 12 or 13…maybe 14? It was for Limited Too which was a kids line connected to The Limited. #90’s ����������”

Just imagine what these two talked about on set. Maybe Biel has, like, psychic powers and told Alba, “Hey, in 13 years, you’re going to be offered a movie called Good Luck Chuck with Dane Cook—turn it down.” And maybe Alba replied with, “Oh yeah? Well, you’re going to marry one of the boys from the Mickey Mouse Club.“

Looking back, you probably came across a bunch of your now-favorites in the catalogs you flipped through after school: Jennifer Lawrence famously attempted modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, Gigi Hadid posed for Guess Kids, and Lindsay Lohan booked jobs with Calvin Klein and Caravan.

Ahhh, the nineties. What a time to have been alive.
