Lindsay Lohan’s Freaky (Fashion) Flashback: The Lilac Dress Revival We Didn’t Know We Needed

In case you missed it: Lindsay Lohan just gave fans the sweetest sartorial throwback of the season — and yes, it’s every bit as iconic as you’re imagining.

At the London premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan stepped out in a dreamy lilac gown that felt instantly familiar. Designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, the shimmery look was a direct nod to the final scene of the original 2003 Freaky Friday, where teenage Anna (a.k.a. Lindsay) rocks up to her mum’s wedding with a guitar and serious attitude. This time around, the lilac is crystal-covered, the guitar is a glitzy handbag, and the nostalgia? Off the charts.

Now 39, Lohan is giving us premiere fashion and a masterclass in character homage. The metal-mesh gown featured an upside-down heart silhouette embroidered with Swarovski crystals, and paired with soft glam and undone waves, the entire moment felt modern yet memory-laced. A true full-circle serve.

But wait — she’s not done. Lindsay’s been on a full-on Y2K tribute tour. On Good Morning America, she referenced The Parent Trap in sunshine yellow. On Live with Kelly & Mark, she channelled her inner Hallie Parker (the cool twin, obviously) in a cheongsam-style Roberto Cavalli dress.

Let’s just say the marketing team understood the assignment. With Freakier Friday hitting cinemas on 8 August, Lohan is giving the people what they want: nostalgic hits, fashion that slaps, and a reminder that the early 2000s era never truly left us.
