The ‘Mean Girls’ Premiere Red Carpet Brings Me Back To 2004

Fetch as fuq.

Katie Corvino

Grab your jean skirt, Von Dutch hat, as many graphic tees as you can get your hands on, and get ready to party like it’s 2004! The Mean Girls musical movie premiered on January 8, and stars new and old showed up on the (obviously) pink carpet in New York City. Lindsay Lohan was there, people. Nature is healing. Literally, seeing Lindsay strut her stuff looking truly better than ever is doing more things for my skin than any $75 bottle of retinol has ever done.

The new movie stars Reneé Rapp, who played Regina George in the musical’s Broadway run, Auliʻi Cravalho, Christopher Briney, Jaquel Spivey, Bebe Wood, and Avantika. Busy Phillipps, Jon Hamm, and Jenna Fischer play the main adults in the movie, and Ashley Park, who was Gretchen Wieners in the Broadway show, plays a French teacher. Tina Fey reprises her iconic role as Ms. Norbury and Tim Meadows is once again portraying Principal Duvall. Let’s be real, no one could top these two. And all of them brought their A-game to the big Mean Girls premiere night, proving that Fetch is, indeed, still a thing.
