The retail giant has brought out a pair of pjs themed on Lizzie McGuire, a character played by Hilary Duff between 2001 and 2004.
The sweet white set includes a strap top and shorts, which are decorated with cartoon Lizzies wearing her infamous orange flip-flops.
Fans will know that the cartoon version of Lizzie featured in the show to represent her internal thoughts and feelings, from being sarcastic, exaggerated, to nervous.
The pjs are also decorated with flowers to tie in with their summer release.
Given the hot weather we've had recently, they look ideal for staying cool at night as well as paying homage to the iconic programme.
A photo of the pjs was shared on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and fans were quick to weigh in.
The person who uploaded the bargain find, added the caption: 'Primark delivering nostalgia!'
And shoppers did not hold back in the comments and many seemed keen to snap it up.
One said: 'NEED!'
Another added: 'I need to get these when I go away in a few week.'

And a third commented: 'I need a trip.'
Lizzie McGuire followed the life of Lizzie, a relatable, clumsy, but sweet middle schooler navigating the ups and downs of adolescence.
Alongside her best friends, Miranda and Gordo, Lizzie dealt with a host of crushes, school drama, and embarrassing moments.
Following the TV show, The Lizzie McGuire Movie was released, with Lizzie travelling to Rome and getting mistaken for a pop star.
It became a box-office success and a beloved send-off to the series, which ended after this.

Hilary announced in 2020 that a Lizzie McGuire reboot had been cancelled because "the stars didn't align."
The actress shared the sad news in an Instagram post, saying: 'I've been so honoured to have the character of Lizzie in my life.
'She has made such a lasting impact on many, including myself.
"To see the fans' loyalty and love for her, to this day, means so much to me."
Hilary continued: "I know the efforts and conversations have been everywhere trying to make a reboot work but, sadly & despite everyone's best efforts, it isn't going to happen.
'I want any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie would be today. It's what the character deserves.'
The actress added: "We can all take a moment to mourn the amazing woman she would have been and the adventures we would have taken with her.
"I'm very sad, but I promise everyone tried their best and the stars just didn't align."
Hilary concluded the note by referencing the character's famous song from The Lizzie McGuire Movie, writing: "Hey now, this is what 2020s made of."

The Pride & Prejudice adaptations to watch now, as Netflix's new version is announced
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a streaming service in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Netflix has officially thrown its bonnet into the ring, announcing an all-star cast for a new, six-part limited series based on Jane Austen's classic. Emma Corrin (The Crown) will play Elizabeth Bennet alongside Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) as the brooding Mr Darcy. They're joined by Olivia Colman as the perpetually flustered Mrs Bennet, with Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat) cast as Mr Bennet. The line-up also includes Industry 's Freya Mavor as Jane Bennet, Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper) as Lydia, Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourg and Stath Lets Flats creator Jamie Demetriou as the comically snooty Mr Collins. Written by Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) and directed by Euros Lyn (Heartstopper, Doctor Who), the series has entered production in the UK and is being billed as a faithful adaptation. While we'll have to wait a while for the new Pride and Prejudice to grace our screens – a 2026 release seems likely – streaming platforms are already heaving with countless other adaptations (some better than others). If you want to brush up on your Austen, here's where to watch every essential version online. For die-hard Austen fans, Joe Wright's cinematic adaptation is the definitive big-screen version, with as much pining per minute as modern audiences could handle. Starring Keira Knightley in an Oscar-nominated role as Elizabeth and Succession 's Matthew Macfadyen as Darcy, the two-hour epic is a visual tapestry of windswept moors, stately mansions and strolls around perfectly manicured gardens. The six-part BBC series from 1995 is considered to be the most faithful and comprehensive adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, with Colin Firth's definitive portrayal of Mr Darcy becoming a true cultural phenomenon. Paired with Jennifer Ehle's Elizabeth Bennet, the beloved series had the breathing room to properly explore the novel's subplots and characters, bringing Austen's world to life with impeccable focus and detail. Take a trip back to the golden age of cinema with the 1940s classic, starring the legendary Laurence Olivier as Darcy and Greer Garson as Elizabeth. While the Oscar-winning movie takes a few liberties with the plot and swaps regency-era frocks for billowing, Gone with the Wind -style gowns, it remains a charming watch even today. Based on the parody novel of the same name (there was a short-lived spate of this kind of thing not long ago), this genre mash-up sees the Bennet sisters (led by Lily James) reimagined as a troupe of kick-ass martial artists, navigating romance in polite society while also fending off hordes of the undead. It's as ridiculous as it sounds, and all the more entertaining for it. While not technically a Pride and Prejudice movie, this beloved rom-com classic was famously inspired by Austen's novel, with Renée Zellweger's Bridget as our hapless Elizabeth, Hugh Grant's charming cad Daniel Cleaver as Mr Wickham and – in a stroke of casting genius – a resurgent Colin Firth as the swoony human rights lawyer Mark Darcy. If you ever needed an excuse to rewatch Bridget Jones's Diary, here it is. Austen purists will insist that no screen adaptation has ever come close to capturing the nuance and depth of the original novel, not even the one with zombies. First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is an enduring masterpiece of wit, romance and sharp social commentary that feels as relevant today as it did more than 200 years ago. Though if this one-star review on Amazon is to be believed, this overestimated work of fiction is 'just a bunch of people going to each other's houses'. You be the judge. With a dream cast and Dolly Alderton's sharp scriptwriting ability, Netflix's in-production six-part series has all the ingredients to be a truly special adaptation. As a Netflix original, it will be available to stream exclusively on the platform when it's released. How to sign up for Netflix in the UK If you don't have an account, you'll need to sign up for one of Netflix's subscription plans to start watching. There are three main tiers to choose from:

Birmingham gives an emotional farewell to Ozzy Osbourne as tearful family lead tributes
Ozzy Osbourne returned to the 'home of metal' for the last time on Wednesday as an emotional Birmingham honored one of its most cherished sons. Thousands of Black Sabbath fans paid their respects to the band's frontman as his hearse made its way through the city center followed by his tearful wife and children. The hearse carrying Osbourne, who died last Tuesday at the age of 76, went down Broad Street, one of the city's major thoroughfare, to the Black Sabbath bench, which was unveiled on the Broad Street canal bridge in 2019. 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, oi, oi, oi,' fans screamed. Six vehicles carrying the Osbourne family followed the hearse, accompanied by police motorcycle riders and a police car. The family emerged briefly to inspect the array of tributes, with his wife of 43 years, Sharon, visibly moved and wiping away tears. And long after the hearse had moved on for the private funeral, the city, which has embraced its reputation as the citadel of heavy metal, was pounding to the beat of Black Sabbath. It was in Birmingham, where he grew up, that the world-conquering heavy metal band was formed in 1968. Osbourne embraced the city in central England as much as it embraced him, as was evident on the streets. Long-time fan Antony Hunt said it has been an 'emotional' day and that he wanted to be in the city to pay his respects. 'What's amazing is there's so many, such a wide variety of age groups, from little, little children, teenagers to people in their 60s, 70s, so it's great to see that,' he said. Katie Brazier, head of events at Birmingham City Council, said Osbourne meant 'everything' to the city. 'He never forgot where he came from,' she said. 'You could still hear that Brummie accent wherever he was, you know, I think some people have hidden away from the fact that they are from Birmingham and they've got that accent but he kept it all the way through.' Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates — Terence Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward — were recently awarded the Freedom of the City in recognition of their services to Birmingham. Black Sabbath's story began in Birmingham in 1968 when the four original members were looking to escape a life of factory work. Without doubt, the sound and fury of heavy metal had its roots in the city's manufacturing heritage. Osbourne never forgot his working-class roots. The band has been widely credited with defining and popularizing the sound of heavy metal — aggressive, but full of melodies. Osbourne was Black Sabbath's frontman during its peak period in the 1970s. His antics, on and off stage, were legendary, and often fueled by drink and drugs. He was widely known as the 'Prince of Darkness.' The band's eponymous debut album in 1970 made the U.K. top 10 and paved the way for a string of hit albums, including 1971's 'Master of Reality' and 'Vol. 4' a year later. It went on to become one of the most influential and successful metal bands of all time, selling more than 75 million albums worldwide. At the final show on July 5, 42,000 fans watched the band perform for the first time in 20 years at Villa Park, home of the city's biggest soccer club, Aston Villa, with Osbourne seated on a black throne. Osbourne had been in poor health in recent years, especially after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Osbourne, who also had a successful solo career, found a new legion of fans in the early 2000s reality show 'The Osbournes' in which he starred alongside Sharon and two youngest children, Kelly and Jack. ___
