Watch: Mandy Moore Says "This Is Us" Is the Greatest Job

Mandy Moore knows how to give us all the feels on This Is Us, but she also knows how to get us feeling nostalgic with her Instagram.

The former child star has a penchant for kicking it old school with her plethora of #tbt and #fbf posts on her Instagram account and we aren't the only one are feeling her too-cute throwback photos—her 1.4 million fans also dig 'em.

Moore first caught the world's attention with sugary pop hit "Candy" in 1999 and then she charmed Hollywood with her roles in A Walk to Remember, How to Deal and Chasing Liberty. Over the past 18 years, the 33-year-old has grown from a teen pop princess and into a serious actress.

From hanging out in the '90s with fellow teen pop star Justin Timberlake to too-cute baby pics and early modeling snaps, the photogenic star is crushing the adorable Instagram game.

Get a look at some of her most epic throwback moments...

Red Carpet To Remember

June 15, 2018: "Excited to present at tomorrow's @mtvawardsshows and it had me thinking about this #fbf nugget from 2002 and the win for #awalktoremember."

Young Star

May 25, 2018: "Why yes I did play Dainty June (at age 11?!?!) in a community theatre production of "Gypsy". My big take away from these pics is that I take my posing VERY seriously. Also that wig! Although @jessikhandjian and I sang the hell out of "If Momma Was Married". Just saying.... #fbf
Oh and ps: I'm allowed to lovingly laugh at old pics of myself or joke about terrible outfit choices from the past without it being seen as some sort of lack of appreciation or self love. Lighten up!!"

Fashionista

May 17, 2018: "My first red carpet and 15 year old me thought I was KILLING it. Yes, my hair was flicked out with a straightening iron and I wore ALL of the Mac "Lipglass" my heart could handle. Yes, that sleeveless pink sweater had crystals all over it and yes, my ballgown skirt was inspired by some outfit I saw Gwyneth Paltrow wear to a premiere. #tbt #ooooooooof"

Party Like It's 1999

May 3, 2018: "I don't even know where to start with this. How could I have ever thought this was acceptable? And yah, those are red crystals glued on my part. #tbt #1999"

Family Bonds

March 15, 2018: "I just went on a trip around the world, asking questions and chasing answers because of my deep love for this lady, my grandma. She's been heavy on my mind for the past few weeks and just missing her even more today. Eileen Friedman was a gem. #tbt"

Fit for a Queen

February 15, 2018: "16 year old me with the inimitable @julieandrews and @heathermatarazzo on the set of #theprincessdiaries. #tbt #thosecurlstho"

The '90s Are Back

March 30, 2017: "Summer of 1999. Abercrombie tshirts and bucket hats. Opening for this guy and his band. Look at my nervous smile! #tbt #memories."

Jazz Hands

Feb. 10, 2017: "If there were any lingering questions about whether or not I choreographed La La Land...... #notthatmandymoore #theresanotherone #jazzhands? #fbf."

Nice Outfit

Feb. 17, 2017: "Not a whole lot has changed. #fbf."

Business in the Front/Party in the Back

March 3, 2017: "When you realize the weekend is upon us.... #fbf #mullet."

Dancing Queen

March 16, 2017: "Back in my dancing days. #tbt."

Disney Darling

March 23, 2017: "Livin' that Disney life... #tbt #wishmymomhadkeptthatsesamestreettop."

Summer of '99

March 21, 2017: "There was a flood at my parents house and it forced them to go through everything and figure out what to keep and what to toss. It also meant that I inherited a TON of old photos from my childhood (so be prepared for more tbts and fbfs), including this gem. Guys, there was once a minivan with my silly face plastered on the side to promote my first single, "Candy". This was most certainly taken while on the road, opening up for *NSYNC on their amphitheater tour in the summer of '99 (and by open I mean we were on a tiny, rickety side stage performing for folks as they walked through the gates, not on the main stage). #memories #platformflipflopsandtubetop #summerof99."

Beer O'Clock

July 7, 2017: "Mood. Bring on the weekend. #fbf."

Double Threat

June 29, 2017: "More evidence that I am NOT a triple threat. #notadancer #tbt."

Bangin' 'Do

June 23, 2017: "Don't let anyone tell you otherwise; permed bangs are always a good idea. #fbf #firstheadshot."

Water Baby

June 15, 2017: "This little lady had NO idea that one day she'd spend 8 weeks underwater shooting a movie that miiiight make people think twice before diving in the ocean. #tbt #47metersdown."

Hawaiian Tropics

Jan. 12, 2017: "Mom! Seriously with these micro bangs? Oh, the early 90s were not my friend. #tbt."

When not acting as Rebecca Pearson on This Is Us, Moore voices the role of Rapunzel on the series Tangled, based on the 2010 animated Disney film.

Moore is slated to star in the upcoming sci-fi thriller, The Darkest Minds, due out in 2018.
