Amanda Seyfried's Adorable Encounter With New 'Mean Girls' Star Avantika

Amanda Seyfried, the original star of 'Mean Girls,' recently had the delightful opportunity to meet her cinematic counterpart in the upcoming musical film adaptation. The actress and Avantika Vandanapu, the fresh face in the 'Mean Girls' franchise, were captured together in charming new photographs. 

In a playful nod to their shared on-screen character, both actresses couldn't resist channelling their inner Karen, bringing a touch of the iconic character to life in their meeting. The interaction between the OG 'Mean Girls' star and the new addition not only underscores the continuity of the 'Mean Girls' legacy but also serves as a delightful moment of connection between the past and future of this beloved film series.

Avantika Vandanapu took to Instagram to share the delightful encounter with Amanda Seyfried, playfully captioning the post, "Karen meet Karen." The accompanying images captured the essence of their meeting, featuring the two actresses, with Avantika and the Dropout star humorously emulating the signature pose associated with Karen, the iconic character from the 2004 'Mean Girls' movie. 

The pose, involving the gesture with their breasts, harks back to one of Karen's memorable moments as the school's weather reporter, where she delivers the humorous line, "There's a 31 per cent chance that it's already raining." This clever callback not only pays homage to the beloved character but also showcases the actresses' playful spirit in embracing the iconic elements that have contributed to the lasting appeal of 'Mean Girls.'

The latest cinematic offering introduces audiences to a fresh ensemble cast, ushering in a new era for the 'Mean Girls' legacy. Alongside Avantika Vandanapu, who steps into the shoes of the beloved character Karen, the film features Angourie Rice as Cady, Reneé Rapp taking on the role of Regina George and Bebe Wood portraying Gretchen. 

In recent months, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert came together for a nostalgic Mean Girls-inspired Walmart Black Friday commercial, evoking a sense of nostalgia for fans. However, notably absent from the advertisement was Rachel McAdams, who played the unforgettable role of Regina George in the original film.
