To begin with, let's not forget how catchy the show's theme song was.

Saved by the Bell was a fan-favorite series with awesome lead characters — Zack Morris, Jessie Spano, Samuel "Screech" Powers, Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle, and A.C. Slater — were kids we all wanted to go to school with.

Lisa, played by Lark Voorhies, was one of the most popular kids at Bayside High.

She was fashion-forward, funny, a social butterfly, and a loyal friend.

Lark also reprised the role in recent years for the SBTB reboot, and Lisa is just as cool (and stylish) as ever.
