If your early 2000s DVD collection included The Devil Wears Prada, Bend It Like Beckham and My Best Friend’s Wedding, you’ll be pleased to know they’re all in various stages of reboot. Now, the long awaited Freaky Friday sequel (Freakier Friday) is officially joining the lineup - and Lindsay Lohan is already bringing the throwbacks.
While doing UK press for the film on July 31, Lohan hit the red carpet in a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown that instantly caught the eye of loyal fans. The dress - a sheer lavender metal mesh design covered in golden Swarovski crystals was a reimagining of the one she wore in Freaky Friday’s final wedding scene, originally designed by Mandalay. Whilst the riff off was covered in gems, the original featured a delicate lace trimmed camisole top and matching bias-cut skirt.
Ludovic de Saint Sernin took to Instagram to say, ’I can’t believe I’m actually writing this caption right now. I’ve been dreaming and manifesting this moment for nearly 20 years. And the best part of it all is that I got to see it with my own eyes! What an incredible privilege to be a creative and to have the opportunity to make your teenage dreams come true. I feel overwhelmed with joy and love right now. It’s a full-circle moment for me.’
The archival nod didn’t stop at the dress. Lohan carried a miniature guitar-shaped bag by Judith Leiber, a playful wink to her character Anna’s band girl past. Where the original character wore hers on a strap, Lohan clutched this one like a clutch, turning teenage angst into red carpet moment. She finished the look with simple Manolo Blahnik heels which gave the look a more grown up feel.
The Mean Girls star has been on a full nostalgia streak lately. Earlier this week, she paid tribute to another one of her iconic roles - this time from her film debut, The Parent Trap. Appearing on Good Morning America on July 28, Lohan wore a butter yellow two piece set from Balmain’s pre-spring 2026 collection by Olivier Rousteing. The look featured a cropped tweed jacket in a white and black plaid and a matching mini skirt. It’s safe to say Lindsay Lohan’s press tour is a love letter to her early roles.
Freakier Friday will be out in cinemas on the August 8th.
