In a striking departure from the iconic pink aesthetic of Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan graced the premiere of the latest installment of the beloved franchise in a black, ab-baring Alexandre Vauthier couture gown, paired with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and Muzo jewelry. The actress, who portrayed Cady Heron in the original film, showcased a mature and glamorous transformation that left fans in awe.
Lohan’s red hair, styled by the talented Danielle Priano, cascaded down in loose waves, contributing to the elevated and timeless elegance of her overall look. Speaking to ELLE.com, Priano shared the vision behind the hairstyle, stating, “We wanted an elevated look, and I styled her hair in sculpted soft waves.”
To achieve this sophisticated appearance, Priano began by detangling Lohan’s hair and applying SexyHair Big Altitude Bodifying Blow Dry Mousse. Using the Mermade Hair blow dry brush, she dried the hair, later adding 20-inch extensions by Hidden Crown for additional length and volume, secured with SexyHair Big Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder.
The defining touch came with the waves, created using the Mermade Hair OG Pro Waver on sections of Lohan’s hair. Hairspray was applied for hold, followed by brushing with the blow dry brush to achieve an Old Hollywood effect. The final touch involved a spritz of SexyHair Big Spray & Stay Intense Hold Hairspray, ensuring a polished look by tucking one side of the hair behind Lohan’s ear.
Priano emphasized that the creation of this glamorous appearance was a collaborative effort, involving makeup, styling, and the active input of Lindsay Lohan herself. The result was a sophisticated look that deviated significantly from Lohan’s character in the 2004 comedy, embracing a modern sophistication infused with the actress’s present style.
The deliberate decision to avoid Mean Girls references for this red carpet moment was explained by Priano, who expressed, “We wanted to keep it fresh and current. It was more about giving Mean Girls a new feel—modern sophistication mixed with Lindsay’s present style—less about throwbacks and more about the now.”
While Lindsay Lohan’s red carpet look may have deviated from Mean Girls nostalgia, fans eagerly anticipating the new musical take on the original film can indulge in the experience when it graces theaters this Friday. In the meantime, those seeking to emulate Lohan’s waves can take inspiration from her latest glamorous appearance.
