Lindsay Lohan Recalls Feeling ‘Self-Conscious’ in Low-Rise Pants While Filming 'Freaky Friday' as a Teen

The actress and new ‘Allure’ cover star shared what went into her punk look for her Disney character Anna Coleman

Lindsay Lohan is looking back on her Freaky Friday days.

In a new interview with Allure shared to TikTok, the 36-year-old actress and soon-to-be-mom reflected on her iconic outfits throughout the years, including the costumes belonging to her most notable roles.

On the roster was her look for Freaky Friday, the 2003 Disney comedy that saw Lohan transform into punk-forward teen Anna Coleman.

“Freaky Friday was different, and I remember this was the phase that I was going through, when Avril Lavigne was everything,” she told the outlet of what drove some of the style decisions behind her onscreen appearance.

Released smack dab in the middle of the original Y2K fashion craze, the film, of course, featured the skin-baring pieces synonymous with the era.

Though Lohan wanted to wear the trends, she recalled feeling “so self-conscious” about how she looked in her wardrobe.

“I wanted to wear low-rise pants because I wanted to be cool. At that age you still wanna play someone who is a little bit sexy, but I was always nervous about what my stomach looked like, if it was flat enough. That was my big thing on set,” remembered Lohan, who was 16 when she starred in the film alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.

She thinks of that time of her life with a less critical mindset now. “I look back and I’m like, ‘Why was I so hard on myself?' It’s okay," she said with a chuckle.

There were also some major beauty changes that went into Lohan’s transformation too, like bleaching bits of her red hair.

She worked with celebrity-loved colorist Tracey Cunningham at the time to create platinum stripes. “Getting it back to normal was pretty tough. It just didn’t feel the same right after,” she said. This, she joked, is something she's had second thoughts about in her adult years.

Lohan was so committed to getting into her role that she even suggested sporting heavier eyeliner. But it didn’t pick up the right way on camera plus, she noted, she had to “tone it down for Disney.”
