Female Icons of the 2000s: Then and Now

#35: Lindsay Lohan Then

Few stars captured the chaos and charm of the 2000s like Lindsay Lohan. She started the decade as Hollywood’s most promising young actress — The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, and Mean Girls made her a megastar before she could legally drink. She had the talent, the looks, and that magnetic mix of mischief and vulnerability.

But fame hit fast and hard. By her early twenties, Lindsay’s personal life was a tabloid feeding frenzy — the DUIs, the clubs, the feuds. Still, her talent was undeniable. Even in her most turbulent years, she had that unteachable spark that made people root for her comeback.
