The 16-year-oldStranger Thingsstar attended the glitzy night out over the weekend alongside his girlfriend, Lizzy Yu, and a group of his closest friends.
“Do-over!!!! I like this first pic better. Junior prom with my best friends and the most beautiful girlfriend ever,” Gaten captioned a series of photos shared on Instagram, including a sweet snap of him and Yu with their noses touching as they wrapped their arms around each other.
Lizzy, who is also pursuing acting, posted a three-partseriesof prom photos to social media. In her third post, Lizzy shared four snaps of the couple, including one of them kissing on a couch. “My Love💛 Jr. Prom 2019 (Part 3),” she captioned the post.
For the fancy evening out, Gaten sported a plum-colored jacket, white shirt, black bow-tie and black pants. He completed the look with a boutonniere.
Before attending the dance, the group posed for pictures at a house and hit up a boardwalk, where they snapped more photos together.
