In a heartwarming moment for fans of Disney’s 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan reunited with her former costars Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix at the premiere of Freakier Friday in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 22.
The event marked a special reunion of the trio, who brought their beloved characters from the iconic film back to life.
The Reunion at the Freakier Friday Premiere
Lindsay Lohan, now 39, walked the red carpet at the El Capitan Theatre in a custom Miu Miu gown, which featured a delicate pale pink chiffon fabric adorned with subtle jewels. Lohan completed her look with long, flowing blonde hair.
The actress, known for her dual role as Hallie Parker and Annie James, shared the spotlight with her fellow co-stars, Lisa Ann Walter (61) and Elaine Hendrix (54).
Walter, who played Chessy, Nick Parker’s witty and honest housekeeper, was dressed in a chic black and white pinstripe two-piece suit. Hendrix, who portrayed Meredith Blake, the fiancée to Lohan’s father Nick, wore a pale pink gown with silver floral beading and styled her hair in old-Hollywood pin curls, complementing the look with a bold lip.
The Parent Trap Legacy
Lohan, Walter, and Hendrix were reunited after 27 years since starring in The Parent Trap, where Lohan played twin sisters separated at birth. The 1998 remake of the classic 1961 film was a hit, with Lohan’s double performance as the sisters, who meet at a summer camp and devise a plan to reunite their parents.
The film also starred Dennis Quaid as Lohan’s father, Nick Parker, and Natasha Richardson as her mother, Elizabeth James.
The movie is still beloved for its heartwarming story and comedic moments, especially the antics between the twins and Meredith Blake, played by Hendrix. Fans will never forget the hilarious camping trip where the twins try to sabotage Meredith’s relationship with Nick.
Lohan’s Connection to Freakier Friday and Jamie Lee Curtis
Although Walter and Hendrix were not involved in Freakier Friday, they showed their support for Lohan as she prepares for the sequel, Freakier Friday. Lohan will be reunited with her Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis in the upcoming sequel, a new generation added with Lohan’s daughter’s character, played by Julia Butters.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Lohan shared some of the advice Curtis gave her early in her career: “However you show up on set is how it’s going to affect everyone’s day,” Lohan recalled Curtis telling her.
This piece of wisdom has stuck with Lohan, and she emphasized the importance of bringing a good energy to the set and leading with a good purpose.
The Freakier Friday Sequel
The original Freaky Friday (2003) followed the story of a rebellious teen (played by Lohan) and her therapist mother (played by Curtis), who swap bodies and, in the process, learn to walk in each other’s shoes. The upcoming sequel, Freakier Friday, brings back Lohan and Curtis to share the screen once again.
New faces join the sequel, including Julia Butters as Lohan’s daughter, and the return of several supporting cast members, such as Stephen Tobolowsky, Christina Vidal, Ryan Malgarini, and Chad Michael Murray.
Fans of both The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday are excited to see these beloved characters reunite in the new Freakier Friday movie, hitting theaters on August 8.
Lindsay Lohan’s reunion with Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix at the Freakier Friday premiere was a moment full of nostalgia for fans of The Parent Trap. The actresses looked back fondly on their roles in the 1998 classic while supporting Lohan as she steps into another chapter with Freakier Friday.
The new movie promises to continue the heartwarming and humorous themes of the original, with a new generation of fans ready to embrace it.
