The "Freakier Friday" premiere was also a "Parent Trap" reunion for Lindsay Lohan and two of her former co-stars.
Lohan stepped out on the purple carpet Tuesday night in Los Angeles with Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter.
Hendrix famously portrayed Meredith Blake in the hit 1998 film while Walter played Chessy.

The film followed Lohan's characters, twins Annie and Hallie, who are separated at birth and discover each other for the first time at summer camp, where they create a plan to bring their parents back together.
On the "Freakier Friday" premiere carpet, Hendrix, who makes a cameo in the movie, and Walter spoke to "Good Morning America" about what they remember most about working with Lohan all those years ago and seeing her as a mother now.
"Working for Disney is always a blast and a blessing," Hendrix said. "And I was very happy to see her. It had been a while, you know, she was a little girl the last time I saw her, and now she's all grown up and beautiful."
"And happy and a mom," said Walter, who added that seeing Lohan as a mom is what she "imagined" it would be.

Walter said, "When we knew her when she was a little girl, she was very responsible, she was in charge of her brothers and sister, and she was an amazing big sister in that family, and I think this is just an extension of that."
While speaking with "GMA," Lohan said that returning as Anna in "Freakier Friday" felt "a lot more personal" this time around.
"I got to bring what I've learned from being a mom into the story of playing a mom," she said. "There's a difference in the kind of empathy when you're a mom, and it was really exciting to play a mom for the first time on screen."

The upcoming film, directed by Nisha Ganatra, features Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reprising their roles as Anna Coleman and Tess Coleman, respectively. Like the previous "Freaky Friday" film, which premiered in 2003, the duo switches bodies again in the sequel. This time, Anna now has a daughter of her own, along with a soon-to-be stepdaughter.
When asked if a "Parent Trap 2" would ever get the sequel treatment, Hendrix and Walter said that while "it gets talked about a lot," a sequel is not up to them.
However, they said they aren't opposed to one.

"We're not going to say no," Hendrix said.
"If Nancy writes it," Walter added, referring to "The Parent Trap" writer and director Nancy Meyers. "If Nancy writes it or if she approves it, then this can happen."
The star-studded "Freakier Friday" premiere featured a stacked guest list with all the film's stars including Lohan and Curtis, Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons and Chad Michael Murray.

Lohan's husband Bader Shammas was also at the premiere to support his wife and was all smiles as he posed for photos with her on the carpet.
The event also featured a surprise performance by Christina Vidal Mitchell and Haley Hudson, who played Anna's two best friends and Pink Slip bandmates Maddie and Peg, respectively, in "Freaky Friday."

Ganatra told "GMA" on Tuesday that bringing "Freakier Friday" to life was a joy, and that she and the cast were "laughing so hard on set."
She added that the movie was important for her to tell because of the film's message about family.
"This movie was so important to me, because it's about the families we choose," she said. "Because we're all born into a family, but sometimes that family doesn't always work out the way we hoped it would, or sometimes our families break apart for no reason at all on our part. So it's about the choice of bringing a family together, a blended family, families of origin and the families we choose, and how important it is to lead with love and keep everyone together. It doesn't just happen, you have to really make love and togetherness happen. So this movie's really an ode to everyone who worked so hard to keep their families loving and together."
"Freakier Friday" arrives in theaters on Aug. 8, 2025.
Disney is the parent company of ABC, ABC News and "Good Morning America."
