Amanda Seyfried recently talked about her Mean Girls red carpet appearances.
She said she was broke and didn't know the rules for red carpet dressing. "I paid $600 for that dress. I couldn’t even afford a ride home, no, I’m kidding*."
Sooo, that got me looking around the world wide web for pictures from the original Mean Girls premieres.
Let's see how much the cast has changed in those 18 years since that premiere...
Daniel Franzese aka Damian then:
Cute couple <3
Daniel Franzese now:
He's really been feeling his oats lately...
...as he should!
He's also proudly out now, a theme we'll be seeing with the guys from the movie.
Lizzy Caplan aka Janice Ian then:
Here she is having a lil' fun with Daniel.
Lizzy Caplan now:
She was most recently in the Apple TV show, Truth Be Told.

She recently met Nathan Chen, which is pretty cool IMO.
