Lindsay’s Spray Tan! Rachel’s Bangs! Revisit the Red Carpet from the Original Mean Girls Premiere 20 Years Ago

Almost no one wore pink, but there was a ton of great early-2000s fashion at the star-studded Los Angeles premiere

The 2004 premiere of Mean Girls was so fetch.

The film’s stars — Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, Tina Fey, Jonathan Bennett and more — stepped out in their early-2000s best in Los Angeles to celebrate the film’s premiere in April of 2004, days before we knew how iconic the movie would become.

“I’m a little overwhelmed and stressed but I’m breathing,” Lohan, then 17, told Access Hollywood at the time.

As Mean Girls turns 20 on April 30 (can you believe it?!) revisit the best red carpet moments from the 2004 premiere.
