Lindsay Lohan’s Hair Is So ‘Parent Trap’ Coded

Lindsay Lohan may be doing the rounds to promote the long-awaited sequel to her Freaky Friday remake (yes, youngsters, it’s a remake), Freakier Friday, but her latest in a vast, stylish array of premiere and TV-appearance looks is a nod to another one of her beloved Disney remakes, The Parent Trap.
Lohan has been going super-glam for the Freakier Friday red carpets over the last week, wearing two different shades of pink gowns. But for an appearance on Good Morning America bright and early Monday morning, the actor pivoted to a preppy look, wearing a yellow, plaid, tweed miniskirt suit that, at first glance, might strike you as something straight out of Clueless. But lift your eyes to Lohan’s hair and another reference becomes very apparent—at least to millennials.
There, atop Lohan’s head, is a yellow headband. And even though she’s traded in her signature red hair for golden blonde, the look immediately brings up memories of when she played long-lost twins Annie and Hallie in 1998’s The Parent Trap.
