Here's What The "Mean Girls" Cast Looks Like 20 Years Later

Happy Mean Girls Day to all who celebrate! For those who have no idea what that means, October 3 marks the day Aaron Samuels asked Cady Heron what day it was.

No matter how many times I've watched Mean Girls, it's 100% a cult classic that never gets old. And I can't believe 2024 marks two decades since we first met the Plastics at North Shore High.
