Robin Roberts has been in the business of journalism and television for a long, long time, which has now made for some truly epic throwback moments she can share with fans, highlighting how far she's come.

Her latest trip down memory lane is no exception, and her ABC colleagues especially loved seeing the veteran news anchor's 1990s appearance, oversized suits and voluminous hair included!

The Good Morning America host, 62, has been part of the ABC family since 1995, and looked back on those times fondly in a new social media post.

Robin took to Instagram to commemorate the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London – where she's currently reporting from for GMA – with a set of photos of her attending the famed sports championship nearly three decades ago, making for quite the full circle moment.

The epic photos see her enjoying her work in London, focused on a news script and hanging out with her cameraman David Brofsky, all while flaunting some epic full suits, and her signature short haircut is instead styled into a puffed up, voluminous look.
