Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert’s Friendship Is Anything but Plastic: Inside the Mean Girls’ Bond
Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert will forever be known as Mean Girls, but the actors proved how fetch it is to maintain lifelong friendships. The pair reunited a couple of times in recent years, warming the hearts of fans around the world.
Inside Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert’s Friendship
Lindsay and Lacey met in 2003 while filming Mean Girls. The film instantly became a pop-culture phenomenon, which unified Lindsay, Lacey, and costars Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried forever.
The North Shore High School plastics, excluding Rachel, reunited in 2023 for a Walmart Black Friday advertisement. Lindsay, who played Cady Heron, Lacey, who portrayed Gretchen Weiners and Amanda, known as Karen Smith in the film, reprised their roles for the commercial, showcasing what their life would look like today.
Taking a page out of the original script, Lindsay was the North Shore guidance counselor, Karen was a meteorologist and Gretchen was a proud mom to a new age mean girl.
“This is going to be so fetch,” Lacey said to her onscreen daughter, who replied, “Stop trying to make fetch happen mom, it’s still not gonna happen.”
Like Mean Girls, Lindsay narrated the commercial and concluded the clip saying, “Some things never change. On Wednesdays we still wear pink, but now we shop Walmart Black Friday deals.”
Both Lindsay and Lacey opened up about reuniting for the commercial and had nothing but positive things to say about the experience.
The Parent Trap star told E! News how “nice” it was getting back with her former costars. Meanwhile, Lacey described the “full circle moment” she, Lindsay and Amanda experienced on the set of the commercial.
“It was really fun to step back into those characters’ shoes. And also it felt like no time had passed, even though I think 20 years have passed, which is hard to believe,” Lacey told the outlet at the time. “But just sitting there with Amanda and Lindsay and, you know, we’re all moms now. It feels so full circle. It’s a treasured experience. So to get to revisit it was really special.”
Lacey shares daughter Julia with husband David Nehdar, Lindsay and husband Bader Shammas share son Luai, and Amanda shares kids Nina and Thomas with husband Thomas Sadoski.
Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert Reprise ‘Mean Girls’ Roles
In November 2024, the women appeared on Watch What Happens Live and gave fans what they wanted by recreating the infamous cafeteria scene when Cady Heron expressed her liking for Regina George’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Aaron Samuels. The scene featured a hilarious twist as WWHL host Andy Cohen filled in as Regina George while wearing Kim Zolciak Biermann’s Real Housewives of Atlanta wig.
The official WWHL Instagram account shared a clip of the scene and, unsurprisingly, fans and fellow stars went wild over the scene in the comments section of the post.
“These two together make me sooooooo happy!!!!! Love them so much!!!” one person commented.
A second fan raved, “Wow this was so good I thought it was the original audio at first it didn’t sound mimicked or anything they both still got it.”
Lacey Chabert Gives Subtle Nod to ‘Mean Girls’ in Holiday Movie
Lacey turned into a holiday starlet over the years and even dropped a subtle nod to Mean Girls in the Netflix Christmas film Hot Frosty in 2024.
The Herbie: Fully Loaded star made a cameo in the film as a scene from her film Falling for Christmas played on TV. Lindsay was in a hospital bed with a protective wrap around her head. As Lacey’s character, Kathy Barrett, watched the holiday movie she gave a nod to Mean Girls saying, “That looks just like a girl I went to high school with.”
Lacey gushed about their collaboration during an interview with Us Weekly, sharing that she didn’t hesitate to include Lindsay in the movie.
“I don’t know whose idea it was, but when I heard of the idea of referencing Lindsay … I loved it,” she told the outlet on November 14, 2024. “It’s perfect and I’m so happy. This is all full circle.”
