Girl meets tailor!
Danielle Fishel gave everyone's Instagram feeds a good hit of nostalgia by sharing a photo of her and her former boyfriend, Lance Bass, recreating their 1999 prom photos for the American Idol podcast. But it took a few stitches to get the results just right.
On Wednesday, April 22, the actress, 44, showed a behind-the-scenes look at how she was able to slip back into the exact two-piece she wore to their high school dance 27 years ago with the help of a tailor.
"Pulled out my actual prom dress from 1999 and somehow got back into it… after taking it in, a little altering, and a pep talk," she wrote on Instagram. She added that there were "some wins, some losses" wearing the outfit, which had to be taken in to fit her current size. "A few of my former curves clearly RSVP'd no," she joked.

Fishel and the former *NSYNC member dated for about a year. According to the Boy Meets World alum, they met when she interviewed *NSYNC for a TGIF live special on ABC.
"Lance and I had a very wonderful, very warm, loving relationship but it was completely lacking of intimacy — intimacy in the romantic sense," Fishel said of her short-lived romantic relationship on an August 2022 episode of the Pod Meets World podcast.

"I held on for hope for way too long that we were going to get back together and get married and have a family … It turns out I'm not Lance's type," she added of the singer, who publicly came out as gay in 2006 (Bass is married to Michael Turchin and they share two children).
Fishel has been open about her body image, especially as it relates to being in the spotlight as Topanga on Boy Meets World.
“The '90s in general were a time where, you know, there was really no such thing as body positivity. Everyone was chasing a waif look. And if you had curves or if you had any sort of extra weight, it was really something you were supposed to feel bad about," she said on Pod Meets World in 2024.
She was also diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in July 2024 and underwent two surgeries, including a lumpectomy, and 20 rounds of radiation after which her "pathology came back with no cancer found."
