Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Jan 25, 2018 9:15 PM UTC With the [2018 Grammys](http://time.com/5111893/grammys-2018-when-where-nominees-performers/) just a few days away, [Chrissy Teigen](http://time.com/5104941/chrissy-teigen-mckayla-maroney-nda-fine/) is throwing it back to the first time she went to the [music awards](http://time.com/5112513/grammys-2018-most-awards-won/). Teigen took to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/chrissyteigen/) on Thursday to share a photo of her and then-boyfriend-now-husband John Legend posing on the show’s red carpet in 2008\. “Grammys 2008\. 10 years ago,” she captioned the post. “This tan!!! Lmao.” Both Teigen and Legend are decked out in their late 2000s finest in the picture, with Teigen rocking a slinky white dress and Legend in a three-piece suit with no tie. The couple began dating in 2007 after Teigen was featured in the music video for Legend’s song “Stereo,” which means 2008 would have been the first year they attended the awards together. Of course, with Legend’s nearly annual nominations, their presence at the ceremony is now pretty much a given. We can’t wait to see what undoubtedly perfect look Teigen has planned for Sunday. See the photo below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5119194/chrissy-teigen-2008-grammys-throwback/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5119194/chrissy-teigen-2008-grammys-throwback/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen's Throwback to the 2008 Grammys Is the Reason We Love Awards Season","datePublished":"2018-01-25T21:15:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:05.233Z","description":"See Teigen and husband John Legend decked out in their late 2000s finest","url":"https://time.com/5119194/chrissy-teigen-2008-grammys-throwback/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","grammys","Chrissy Teigen","john legend"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c67204d5350ae98/6988f97686f68ea1456e8086/chrissy-teigen-grammys-2008.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c67204d5350ae98/6988f97686f68ea1456e8086/chrissy-teigen-grammys-2008.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chrissy-Teigen-Grammys-2008","caption":"Chrissy Teigen arrives at the Lip Sync Battle LIVE: A Michael Jackson Celebration at Dolby Theatre on January 18, 2018 in Hollywood, California.","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5119194/chrissy-teigen-2008-grammys-throwback/","name":"Chrissy Teigen's Throwback to the 2008 Grammys Is the Reason We Love Awards Season"}}]}] ```
