Forget 2016<\/a>; let\u2019s take it back to 2006. The year of High School Musical<\/em> and skirts over leggings was a great time to be a Hilary Duff<\/a> fan. Years after bursting onto the scene like a tweenage ray of sunshine in Lizzie McGuire<\/em>, Duff had fully embarked on a proper teen idol career, establishing herself as the ultimate girl next door. Now, 20 years later, she\u2019s ready to remind us of exactly who she is with a new album, Luck\u2026 or Something<\/em>, as well as a tour. And for the lead single, she\u2019s subtly nodding to 2003 with some wet-looking glam.<\/p>\n In the music video for \u201cRoommates<\/a>,\u201d released Jan. 15, Duff laments a \u201cwilder, freer time\u201d in natural makeup, with a long, cocoa brown manicure and her signature blonde hair. At one point, the singer writhes in the indoor rain with artfully wet strands (presumably pumped up with a few extensions<\/a>), and fans couldn\u2019t help but read it as a reference to Duff\u2019s earlier career. \u201cLet the rain fall down,<\/a>\u201d anyone?<\/p>\n Along with the music video drop, the A Cinderella Story <\/em>star kicked off the Small Rooms, Big Nerves<\/em> tour in London over the weekend, with rose gold eye makeup, rosy cheeks and lips, and soft blonde waves. In a video<\/a> posted after the show, Duff even shared a glimpse of her glam team while participating in the viral \u201cShe\u2019s backkkk\u201d trend.<\/p>\n And back she is. With Small Rooms, Big Nerves <\/em>set to hit stateside Jan. 27 at New York City\u2019s Brooklyn Paramount \u2014 including several dates lined up in Las Vegas \u2014 it\u2019s safe to say the Duffaissance has only just begun.<\/p>\n
