Lindsay Lohan shines in Balmain at Mexico City premiere
The dress featured a striking golden chain detail around the neckline that added an elegant yet playful touch to the look. LINDSAY LOHAN IN BALMAIN
She paired it with matching strappy sandals, a gold-accented Balmain belt buckle clutch. She also wore sparkling diamond hoop earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.
Lohan exuded a sun-kissed, radiant charm that captivated the pink-carpet crowd, according to Yahoo.
Her light blonde hair was styled in a loose, wavy bun with gentle strands framing her face. This was complemented by a vivid magenta lip colour that perfectly matched the gown.
This appearance marked a high point in what is shaping up to be a landmark year for early 2000s movie reboots and sequels.
Freakier Friday joins the ranks alongside The Devil Wears Prada 2 . Lohan's look at the Mexico City event offered a modern, statuesque energy.
This contrasted with the more whimsical and 'Disney princess'-like gown she wore at the Los Angeles world premiere earlier in the week.
That debut featured a custom pink Miu Miu gown designed with a sweetheart neckline, flowing skirt, and delicate crystal embellishments.
Andrew Mukamal, the stylist behind many iconic looks, including Margot Robbie's unforgettable Barbie press tour wardrobe, masterminded Lohan's Mexico City ensemble.
Mukamal's touch ensured Lohan carried a refined yet vibrant presence on the pink carpet.
Lohan has consistently delivered on the red carpet this year. She effortlessly switched between designers like Alaïa, Balmain, Nina Ricci, and Givenchy. This reaffirmed her status as a fashion icon with an updated edge.
The Mexico City premiere was a special moment for Lohan, who warmly expressed her joy to her Latin American fans.
'Being here in Mexico City for the first time means the world to me,' she said. 'My fans here have been incredibly loyal, and I'm so grateful to kick off the international promo tour with all of you.
I love you all!' This heartfelt connection added a deeper layer of excitement to the night for fans who appreciate not only her fashion but also her genuine warmth.
Jamie Lee Curtis, her co-star and fellow style icon, matched the energy in a vivid orange Carolina Herrera ensemble. This created a stunning colourblock duo with Lohan.
Chad Michael Murray appeared at the Los Angeles event, while only the two were cast members at the Mexico City premiere.
This exciting chapter also marks Lohan's strong comeback in the industry, combining her on-screen success with standout fashion that honours her roots.
Fans can look forward to seeing more of her style triumphs as Freakier Friday hits screens soon. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LINDSAY LOHAN'S BARBIECORE BALMAIN LOOK AT THE FREAKIER FRIDAY PREMIERE?

Jenna Ortega turns heads at 'Wednesday' premiere
Jenna Ortega stunned audiences and fans alike as she unveiled a striking new look during the press tour for Wednesday Season 2, kicking off at the Paris premiere. The actress transformed her signature style by bleaching her eyebrows to a nearly invisible blonde shade. This added a bold, gothic edge that perfectly echoes the eerie and dark aura of her hit Netflix series. At the Paris premiere, Ortega's bleached eyebrows caught immediate attention. While it might have seemed she had shaved them off, it was clear the thick, dark arches were simply dyed, according to Page Six. This created the illusion of 'brows begone.' This daring choice accentuated her expressive features and reinforced the gothic sensibility fans have come to associate with her role as Wednesday Addams. 'I feel like I have a more Gothic vibe than I did when I was a teenager,' Jenna commented in a past interview. 'I've always been fascinated by dark themes, but as a Disney child, I was expected to be bubbly and sweet'. Stylist Cesar Ramirez complemented her look by styling Ortega's brunette hair in soft waves. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis employed a smoky eye with romantic, deep wine lips to enhance the mysterious allure. Her outfit choice for the premiere was a bold statement as well. Ortega wore an eye-catching Vivienne Westwood fall 2025 gown designed by Andreas Kronthaler. The dress featured a ruffled corset with a plunging neckline that flared below the hips. She accessorised with jewellery that echoed her character's dark, witchy style. This included a Loree Rodkin cross pendant necklace, a cross signet ring, and a Bondeye Jewellery diamond. Earlier in the week at the London press event, Ortega had showcased a semi-sheer, reptilian-inspired Ashi Studio fall 2025 couture gown. The gown had a high neck and peplum skirt, further underlining the thematic aesthetic of Wednesday . Her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, allowing her bleached brows and radiant makeup to take centre stage. Wednesday Season 2 premieres on Netflix on 6 August, with subsequent episodes releasing on 3 September. Jenna Ortega's evolving look will no doubt continue to captivate viewers worldwide and highlight her commitment to embodying the gothic spirit of her iconic character. 'You're witnessing someone experimenting, exploring who they are, that's a natural part of growing up,' Jenna said. 'It's about embracing change and authenticity'.
