Mean Girls Costume Designer Breaks Down Lindsay Lohan's Costumes | Vanity Fair - Zábava
“Karen just tries” relatable af
Never knew I was Karen
Just like that "Rubbish" graphic shirt...may as well be a tattoo on my chest.
Lol yeah I'm sad
Jhomegirl12 I was legit going to comment that
legit meeeee i knew i was karen XDD
Whoever decided this was released on October 3rd needs a raise
dont get why it’s a big deal
@@mmk1522 on October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.
M Mk the date of October 3rd is a quote in the movie, so fans of the movie have dubbed October 3rd to be National Mean Girls Day
@@niha.d its October 3rd
So fetch 😉
This lady doesn't actually realise how much of an icon she is and how her costumes have changed fashion for an entire generation. I know I for one emulate the outfits and I know all of yall do too. 😂
S O insert Thank You Next music video here
The costumes are great, she is talanted, but I don't see how she changed fashion for a whole generation
@craisins 86 well sorry that you dont like to dress cute ... gosh!
Alex White you missed their point
Idk about all that, but definitely iconic
I love how she is narrating the movie like we all haven’t seen it 20 times
Piper Katherine or 200
@@TheAppledance or 2000 😂😂
Medha Narayan Or 20,000😂😂😂😂
The limit does not exist
Alyssa Watkins i love you
“A teenage version of ethereal... y’know, jeans and a T-shirt.”
I love her.
Illi Vanilli 711 LMFAO i just noticed this!!!
sorry excuse my ignorance but i dont get it, i know what ethereal means but what does it have to do with jeans and a t shirt?
@@emmabelignazingwhate5150 Ethereal means delicate and light and 'not of this world' so it's often used to describe fae or angels etc. I think in this case with the jeans and a t-shirt they're talking about Cady's final outfit. She's very pared back and simple and it looks gorgeous on her. She's not of the 'teenage' world of the time. She's not wearing a fashion trend or fad item she's wearing a staple outfit and really looks grown up. Which suggests that since her first appearence/outfit she's grown up and such.
I honestly thought she said that jesus in a t shirt
@@callmeyourdai5y518 thank you so much
Funny how the wardrobe tells a whole other side to the story that otherwise we wouldn't have known
Not everyone
We should have known it. To say it better, they should've shown us that. Why hasn't there been a scene where she made her choker? Or where she she choosed her outfit for the party? Those scenes are important to better understand and SEE the transformation shes in
*Chose and you can see the transformation just fine
No it didn't tell different story . It told the exact story !
@@ayush9791 not a different one, just another side
She’s so talented and definitely made an impact in film history
Kevin Martinez defiantly? Lol
Honestly looking back if it wasn’t for the wardrobe I don’t think the movie would have been the same! Costume designers are very under rated !
How was she defiant?
Babicka Fantastica it was obviously a typo.
Babicka Fantastica In the Great words of Regina George.....
“Shut up!”
I like how cady’s party dress looked plastic also
it was a reverse pattern to Regina's Spring Fling dress
The dress' colour scheme is the opposite of Regina's spring fling dress as well, I liked to think that was purposeful, as she had just seen Regina unable to fit into her dress a couple scenes before.
ICONIC costume design.
Pumpkinspice even as a kid I LOVED and GOT that.
Poppy Driver mind blown
Fleurs Sv p
According to Tina Fey, the strapless party dress ensemble was supposed to look comical and tacky. Everyone was disappointed when they realized Lindsay Lohan pulled it off.
That explains Karen and Gretchen’s reactions when she asks their opinion.
Thats really funny because by the time the movie came out that combo of black/pink was a super popular look. I graduated 8th grade around that time and a lot of girls went with that color scheme for their dresses, myself included.
of course she did
“Karen... Karen just tries.” Hahahahahahaha
I cackled at that part.
LOL!
2:23
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ye
Woah! Learning about that teeny detail of taking a leather strap off her African bracelet as a choker is what I love about these behind-the-scenes insights videos :)
Yes! I had no idea. What an interesting tidbit.
Also kinda sad! Since her mom made it for her and at that point it seems like she doesn’t care
right, that blew my mind
Same
I am your 7,700 like!
I was hoping she'd talk about Cady's dress at her party vs. Regina's dress at the dance. One is primarily black with a little bit of pink, while the other is mostly pink with a little bit of black. I always thought it was meant to showcase how similar the characters actually were.
Ben Conners I was really waiting for her to talk about the homecoming costumes as cady going into prom with the mathlete jacket while all the other girls are wearing glamorous dresses is a brilliant subversion of the prom trope, also Regina being a glamorous diva while wearing a neck brace is visual comedy at its best
Nice catch! How similar they are and yet so different
I also thought she'd talk about the scene where the plastics are walking down the hallway, and you get a closeup shot of Cady and you see she has a necklace with a C on it just like Regina has a necklace with an R and how she was slowly turning into a clone of Regina.
I love this comment and this video I am obsessed all over again.
@@PetitePollyPocket yes more copying taking place like with the tummy in the santa costumes
Please do more segments with costume designers they are so underrated
yes!
Agreed
It really is something people may not consciously pick up on, but has a huge impact

I’m dead
This woman is dry af and I love her for it

Even when I was first watching Mean Girls as a 12 year old I noticed Cady's change of dress parelleled with her steadily rising "status" as a Plastic/popular girl. Nicely done.
I mean... her transformation is literally what the movie is about. Congratulations on noticing it?
AsyaMoriarty sure but maybe don’t be mean about it
1 problem: Why were you 12 watching a P13 movie?
Duchess Royal this can’t be a real question lmaoo
AsyaMoriarty i think they were talking about how she noticed the texture and style of clothing changed as well as cady’s personality and friends
this film is a treasure and deserves to be taught in film classes.
This film is so important because it depicts a reality. Not an idolization of reality, but a true reality. It yanks everyday people into a third person’s perspective and it allows them to realize what their position in society is. These kinds of films are important, especially for younger people, because they make them aware of how they actually appear through their actions. ‘Mean Girls’ highlights the concept of school being a microscopic version of society with a plethora of power-dynamics and this is emphasized, as seen in the video, by the clothing selections of each character. The mundane setting and activity of it all also gives an eerie feel to the underlying socio-political message of the film. The concept of the overbearing and suffocating power-dynamics pushing the boundaries between civilization and chaos is further emphasized during the cafeteria scene where Cady imagines herself and her classmates as wild animals as she is angered by Regina’s manipulation games. This scene, thus, ultimately states that human life is not superior to jungle life, but simply a more sophisticatedly vicious version of it. An excellent, watchable film. I agree with you 100%, it absolutely should be taught in film classes.
Honestly! Have you watched The Take's video on Regina George being a dictator? It really shows how smart the movie is
I gotten to study this film before! So much fun to unpack it
@@em.strach Any mise en scene or any Easter eggs that people don't noticed or talk about?
No Face likes Mean Girls?! 😄
5:38 I could hear Karen's voice in my head going 'I'm a mouse, duh' lmfao
SAME
Me too OMG
saaame!
What's funny about that scene???
"Karen just... tries" I WHEEZED
"Karen just tries."
Me too, Karen. Me too.
valkyrie eden 300th like!
I want like a full length movie where she goes over everyone style especially janice
yessss!😍
czcams.com/video/UcvKdNiA7uc/video.html here’s a half hour video going through everyone’s costumes! It’s not the costumer designer, but the CZcamsr has talked to the costume designer about it!
SHE WAS PART OF MAKING THAT MOVIE ICONIC🤩🤩❤️
OMG. "It's October 3rd." 🤯

@@niamhgallagher8502 yup
My teacher made reference to that today. 😭❤

@@electraheart3868 Amazing! They're awesome haha
"it's a leather strap she got off her bracelet" OOooooOooOoHhh noooooo
What
I love how she stays humble at the end about being happy she contributed to a movie that people liked, while mean girls is obviously the most iconic teenmovie of my generation. It’s the clueless of my generation!
*last day of shooting*
No one:
Wardrobe department: “I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK”
Best comment ever
I like how Cady wears hoop earrings not only at her party but also when Regina gets dethrone! Not to mention, Gretchen wears hoop earrings at the end of the movie as well!
Nice catch about the hoop earrings! I had missed that. Love discovering new details like this

still blows my mind that The Notebook and Mean Girls cafe out in the same year, and the fact that Rachel McAdams plays both Regina and Ally
I didn’t realize the clothes had plastic in them too. Brilliant!
What is polyester again?
@@susanhitamedda7943 I don’t mean clothes in general lol
I meant the clothes worn in the movie intentionally had plastic in them to make a point
Is just realized every movie Lohan was is is so timeless and iconic. But Mean Girls is just in another level. I wish she could comeback to acting. She’s extremely good! And she’s missed
Ford2219 she went crazy tho
I agree... even in freaky Friday...she acts beyond her age. She kinda always did. Hollywood messed her up. I wish she was healthy and happy
I love her,she's such an amazing actress
@@theamhway she's fine now thanks god
@@theamhway she's fine now
Posted on October 3rd? Well played Vanity Fair, well played.
Coincidence? I think not
@Yorky Gonzalez it's an important day because "October 3rd" is mentioned in the movie. Search it up
i would trust this woman with my life
SO WE’RE JUST NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE MATHLETES JACKET?!?
My thoughts exactly!!!
The fact that she isn’t wearing pink is a missed opportunity
Santa claus would never... get away with this...
Lol, now I want to see a mall Santa wearing that and performing the dance. THAT would be iconic!
6:14 🎅
ICONIC.
Someone verified and still only has 19 likes? Hmmm something sketchy is going on bere
_blue_pearlie _ exactly XD
Nicolás Sans López it’s ok she’s fake verified.
@@josephine.france5 no its not XD look at his channel
Nicolás Sans López XD if you actually go onto her channel yes she has LOADS of subscribers but wait - where did that tick go? Hmm....
“Karen just tries” bless her heart
It's October 3rd.
“On October 3rd he asked me what day it was,”
I'm still shook constantly how Amanda seifried can just go between characters so effortlessly
She's not only beautiful but also a great actress...A rare thing nowadays
This movie is so iconic. Every generation deserves to see this. *Periodt*
*PERIDOT??!!!*
I never even realized the party dress showed her bra
Sullivan Hodges I remember watching, and every time thinking about how nice the detail was that as she got more drunk and clumsy, she also couldn’t keep her dress up. It just added to her mood
The bra ALWAYS bothered me
@@laessigzone same. pretty sure it was tacky even back in the aughts.
Mean girls is like the most iconic movie of the 2000’s though
Iconic! I never picked up about the plastic references - but loved seeing cady’s transformation!
why was this so therapeutic
i love how she talks about cady as if she new her
this movie is apart of this generations history
"santa clause would never... get away with this.." 😹 she said santa could never!!!
"santa claus wouldnt get away with this" HAHAHAH I DIED
I remember watching this on our DVD in the special features section, she looks virtually the same (the costume designer) with the same shiny look. I remember the look back then, alot of polka dots & low rider jeans & collared shirts
Yeah, the only things on her face that move are her mouth and eyes unfortunately
timeless
This lady's voice is so relaxing to me. Watching this before bed instead of ASMR tonight.
“With her plaid shirt, basic” I feel attacked.
“on* October 3rd* he asked me what day was it”
"it's October 3rd"
beatriz Alves *asked
beatriz Alves it was*
October third is my birthday and this is my favorite movie soo
Can we get a Heathers Designer break down next? :)
Yes! The costumes in Heathers were clearly very well thought out
Clueless and Legally Blonde as well, All the iconic blondes 💁🏼♀️
aesthetically poetic Clueless costume breakdown would be super fascinating because the designer basically had to create a trend
@@aestheticallypoetic1846 there's a youtube video on
Clueless by The A.V. Club actually :) But I love Clueless, I wouldn't mind another video!
@@aylind.9672 Ah my mistake! 😂
I love that they uploaded this on October 3rd
this seems like the hardest but most interesting job ever i loved this
I love this because it shows appreciation for costume designers. They really add a HUGE part of what makes movies so great.
Love seeing all the deliberation and planning involved in choosing the costumes!!! I think people often forget how much costume design contributes to how a character appears overall and our subconscious perception of characters, especially with movies that have a more mundane setting.
definitely
"The devil wears Prada" should be next pleaaaaaaase!
she is such a genius, creating iconic looks, she deserves so much more attention for this. the costumes are realistic, characteristic and iconic.
I wish they talked about how Regina was no longer wearing hoops at the end scene. She was wear straight line silver earrings. And her hair was in a loose ponytail, PLUS she was just wearing a simple sweater.
Can we get Jennifer’s Body costumes 😍
hi lol omg yaas
hi lol underrated gem
Yess
I could listen to her do a costume analysis all day
“Santa Claus would never get away with this” iconic
I feel like one of the main reasons Mean Girls is so cherished is because of the realness. The fashion isn't over done the extras are realistic with how they dress, I wouldn't know personally, but so are The Plastics for that time.
Even the hallway scene has a realness to it, with the way that the hallways aren't completely empty as the plastics waltz through, the students are busy, getting to their classes, dont make a huge deal about the fact that the popular people are walking by.
MEAN GIRLS WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY OR SO HEP ME BE!
She mentioned costumes like a candy store. The mean girls are similar to the heathers. Heathers have a song about Candy Store. I'm such a fan I see heathers in everything lmao
I need one of this for Blair Waldorf lol
Ron Weasley yes!! But it would be hours long, Blair has like 5 iconic looks in one single episode
@@kaytea5958 haha true
Sucks she had to say “original mean girls”. The 2nd one is such a bad movie, and it’s not even the same director, it’s a fake
Wut second movie🤫
Most likely, but there is also mean girls the musical, which is absolutely amazing
wow for a moment there i forgot about the 2nd one. watched it once years ago and that was the end of it. the real mean girls watched like dozens of times
@@ashkhol The musical has Tina Fey in charge of it, who was also the screenwriter for the film.
“Santa Claus would never...get away with this” 😂
10 years after that movie came out, my college classmates and I ironically wore pink on Wednesdays. It was a good movie.
Sameeee
This lady telling us the plot like we haven't all seen the movie a million times!
I like how she used actual plastic in the wardrobe for the plastics. It reinforces the theme, even for those of us, who don't really get symbolism.
I’m dying, she said “Santa Claus would never”
Ironically I watched mean girls yesterday without realising it was October 3rd today
I wrote about this film for personality psychology examining the personality and growth of all the characters and got a 100. Thank you Mean Girls! Love the costumes.
Imagine being this humble when being this huge part of history and the rules of feminism!
Aaliyah M “the rules of feminism”-omg so accurate!!!
I texted my sister
Hey what day is it?
My sister: Thursday
Me: WRONG
Sister:What do you mean
Me: *Sends October 3rd gif 😂
Lmao!!
“On October 3rd he asked me what day it was”
...my birthday
Is anyone like me? I really enjoy Cady’s transformation into Plastic. That’s scene where she’s walking down the hall in the blue ruffle skirt, was so satisfying, like YES! You made it! They plastics were meant to be villains but I liked them the best! I wanted her to be Queen 👸
Yes lol I love the plastics. I was rooting for her to just be one of them too 😂
Most girls want to be hot and popular, even more so since the 2010s when everyone became super image obsessed.
It's so cool to see how much effort goes into literally everything in a movie. I like how much thought was put into each piece of the outfits.
This woman is a genius and a legend.
This might be me sounding dramatic but this woman changed society
Me watching this video
Them :
People watching :
No one :
No one at all :
Me : so fetch 😎
I *love* how all of the costumes have a backstory, even if nobody is gonna notice or care besides them. It just adds a bit of personality to the outfits. Love iT!!!
i always love hearing about how wardrobe/costuming goes hand in hand with other aspects of film. it's so easily overlooked but so much thought goes into it
I love this! Growing up I definitely picked up on Cady’s transition and everyone’s clothing. Clothing is such an important part of identity when you’re in high school. I really love how much thought and authenticity she put into designing these costumes. ❤️
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS LIKE “HOLY CRAP IS THAT WHAT LINDSAY LOHAN LOOKS LIKE NOW?!”
These videos are my absolute favourite, you should keep making those because having the professionals talk about their part in the film is just magical... I'm obsessed with these
I would totally go for the dress Gretchen wears in the hallway scene.
the fact that they posted this on october 3rd is iconic
i would've loved to hear about regina's outfit during the scene where she scattered the burn book papers and watched everything crumble around her
the makeup they have on is to die for. they all look so fresh and flirty ❤️
the attention to detail on the tissue skirt on 7:41 >D:< this movie deserves its iconic place
I love how much thought and research goes into all the costumes in movies. Such art!
I thought it was cool how Gretchen's Halloween costume looked like a movie spy/operative as well as a cat. Because she's a spy (that's why her hair is so big) and a covert operative.
its crazy how an outfit can bring you back to a different time of history and fashion!! early 2000s fashion still stands as the best fashion!!!
I’d love to see more of her explanations of the mean girls outfits! There are so many that aren’t as iconic but still so wonderfully put together
Her voice is so relaxing, like asmr.
today i was bored on netflix so i started watching mean girls, then i realized iT WAS OCTOBER 3RD iconic
mean girls isn’t on netflix..
@@hedgehogs2429 it is, on my country lol
floweryfcuck oh you’re lucky
@@hedgehogs2429 ya fr tho
i love how much thought and effort went into the costumes in this movie, now they're some of the most iconic ones of their time. talent!
