You can’t talk ’90s without boybands. And you can’t talk boybands without tragically misguided BOP/TigerBeat pictorials. Here are five boyband-ers who’ve come a long way from their questionable early starts.

5. Nick Lachey (98 Degrees)

Then: Braving the back alleyways of Ohio, shirtless.

Now: Classing it up with hot ladyfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

4. New Kids On The Block

Then: Styling by OshKosh B’gosh.

Now: We’re in a recording studio. Music iz hard.

3. Jesse McCartney (Dreamstreet)

Then: Crotch-grabbin’ gangsta on the beaches, yo.

Now: Making poor life decisions with Aubrey O’Day

2. Backstreet Boys

Then: Collectively depantsed.

Now: Less leg, more cashmere.

1. Justin Timberlake (‘N Sync)

Then: Hunky pool party — no girls allowed, y’all!

Now: Every girl and Lance Bass’s wet dream.
