There are few classic comedies that stand the test of time one generation after the next like the 2004 Lindsay Lohan<\/a><\/strong>-starrer Mean Girls. Written by and starring SNL alum Tina Fey<\/a>,<\/strong> the film brought together an iconic cast of young actors, including Lacey Chabert<\/strong>, a pre-Mamma MiaAmanda Seyfried<\/strong>, and Rachel McAdams<\/strong> as everyone\u2019s most relatable high school tyrant, Regina George. In honor of October 3rd, known in pop culture lore as \u201cMean Girls Day,\u201d<\/a> Chabert shared a series of behind-the-scenes cast photos that fans are calling seriously \u201cfetch.\u201d<\/p>\n Chabert, 43, first became known as Erica Kane\u2019s daughter on the ABC soap opera All My Children<\/a>. From there, a role on the Fox family drama Party of Five made her a fan favorite of teens around the world. But it was her role as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls that cemented her status on pop culture\u2019s Mt. Rushmore.<\/p>\n In honor of Mean Girls Day (October 3rd), Chabert took fans back to Mean Girls\u2019 production, sharing cast photos, premiere photos, and stills from the original shoot.<\/p>\n Cast members Lindsay Lohan and Jonathan Bennett<\/a><\/strong> (who will forever be Aaron Samuels in our hearts and minds) both commented on Chabert\u2019s photo drop, in addition to over 40,000 Mean Girls fans who either liked or commented on the photos\u2014a testament to the lasting impact the movie has had on pop culture.<\/p>\n \u201cOMG this is so fetch,\u201d wrote one fan in reference to the movie\u2019s famous catchphrase.<\/p>\n Another fan added, \u201cWe watched it on October 3rd, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLove that this has become an unofficial holiday and you ladies are here for it!\u201d wrote another enthusiastic fan of the film.<\/p>\n Expect a major eye roll from your teen for asking why October 3rd is the unofficial\/official Mean Girls Day. We\u2019ll spare you the Google (or the dreaded teen eye roll) and spill the tea.<\/p>\n In a pivotal moment in the film, after Lohan\u2019s Cady Heron embraces her mean girl status and begins to pursue nemesis Regina George\u2019s ex, Aaron Samuels, Aaron asks Cady what day it is. \u201cOn October 3rd,\u201d Cady narrates, \u201cHe asked me what day it is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s October 3rd,\u201d Cady answers, cementing the date as a regular Mean Girls reference (and faux holiday).<\/p>\n While Mean Girls started as a small teen comedy based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabees<\/a> by Rosalind Wiseman<\/strong>, its success turned the film\u2014and its quotable, written-by-Tina-Fey one-liners\u2014into a cultural movement.<\/p>\n Not only has the movie spawned a successful Broadway musical and a film adaptation of the musical, but references and lines from the movie\u2014including \u201cThat\u2019s so fetch,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s October 3rd,\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m not like a regular mom, I\u2019m a cool mom\u201d\u2014have become part of our regular lexicon.<\/p>\n References to \u201cPlastics\u201d and \u201cMean Girls\u201d are all inspired by lines from the movie, but have taken on a broader place as shared pop culture references.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been over 20 years since Mean Girls first came out, but the movie\u2019s lasting impact is still so fetch.<\/p>\n Related: Lacey Chabert Reveals What to Expect from Season 2 of ‘Celebrations’ Hallmark Series (Exclusive)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 4, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
