RYAN Seacrest has caused excitement among his fans by posting a striking throwback photo on social media.
Over the weekend, the American Idol host shared several snapshots of himself from the past few decades.
On Sunday, Ryan, 49, showed off his transformation from a little boy to an adult in a suit and tie on Instagram.
In the first snapshot, young Ryan showed off his pearly white teeth in a bright red jacket, white collared shirt and blue pants next to a Christmas tree.
As his fans flipped through the slides, the TV star shared more snaps of his most stylish fashion choices throughout his life – including a jet black tuxedo and a navy blue suit.
In the comments section, fans – and even a famous face – shared their thoughts on the throwback images.
“Always a stud,” commented 48-year-old singer Michael Bublé.
“Such a handsome and sweet boy. Looks very chic and casual,” wrote one fan.
“He knew what style meant from the beginning,” emphasized a second.
“You look so different than you did when you were young,” said a third.
“I have always felt well dressed,” said a fourth.
“It just keeps getting better,” shouted a fifth.
Someone else spoke about Ryan’s next chapter: “I look forward to seeing you on Wheel of Fortune.”
