In the time since the movie debuted, fans have used October 3rd as a way to celebrate the zingy one-liners and quirky humor of the film, often posting memes of Lindsay Lohan, who played Cady Heron in the movie, along with the hashtag, #whatdayisit, alluding the question posed in the memorable scene. This year, however, Lohan got in on the fun herself. Not only did she post a selfie with the hashtag, #whatdayisit, but she also shared an Instagram of a conversation that she and her friend had about Mean Girls Day, which just goes to show that stars really are just like us. > [](https://twitter.com/lindsaylohan/status/782888910405984256) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4516776/lindsay-lohan-celebrates-mean-girls-day/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4516776/lindsay-lohan-celebrates-mean-girls-day/"},"headline":"Even Lindsay Lohan Is Celebrating Mean Girls Day","datePublished":"2016-10-03T18:20:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:15.168Z","description":"So fetch!","url":"https://time.com/4516776/lindsay-lohan-celebrates-mean-girls-day/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","mean girls","Lindsay Lohan","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt541f388ee6354e18/6988a872cf40a885a9c45055/lindsay-lohan-mean-girls-day.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt541f388ee6354e18/6988a872cf40a885a9c45055/lindsay-lohan-mean-girls-day.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 Butterfly Ball - Red Carpet - Arrivals","caption":"2016 Butterfly Ball - Red Carpet - Arrivals","creditText":"Danny Martindale—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4516776/lindsay-lohan-celebrates-mean-girls-day/","name":"Even Lindsay Lohan Is Celebrating Mean Girls Day"}}]}] ```
