Lindsay Lohan on Her 1980s-Inspired Old Navy Ad, ‘Freakier Friday’ and Her ‘Free-Spirited’ Evolution (Exclusive)

Only Lindsay Lohan can look this good while working out.

Lohan, 38, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about her “Old Navy, New Moves” campaign, which was inspired by 1980s workout videos and the brand’s activewear line. In the ad, she looked flawless while “improvising” her moves and modeling in a curve-hugging red top and matching leggings.

“I kind of improvised the whole running [and] flipping up, which was really fun,” she told Us, noting she didn’t even “realize” how much she was really working out at the moment. “[At] the end of the day, I was like, ‘Do I regret this?’” she laughed.

Lohan also talked to us about how “important” fitness and self-care are in her personal life, sharing, “If mom doesn’t feel good, it’s not a fun house.” She added that “it’s the most important thing in order for me to be the best for myself, the best for my son, the best for my husband, the best I can be all around.”

Over the years, Lohan has been known to have a trendy sense of style. From low-rise jeans in the early 2000s to sleek black dresses recently, her evolution is iconic.

“I think it’s become more condensed,” Lohan said about her current wardrobe, which includes more staples than ever. “I would say I’m more specific about what I need in my everyday life. I always need good pairs of leggings or jeans that I love,” she added, noting she also has a “good blazer, good leather jacket and good shirts” in her closet. “Whereas I used to think you need to have everything changing so fast in fashion.”

Since welcoming her son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas in July 2023, Lohan told Us she’s retired some of her former clothes. “I’ve become a bit more modest, even on red carpets. I just like to be a little bit more buttoned up than I used to be,” the actress said, describing her old style as “free-spirited.” She also prioritizes “comfort” more than she once did.

One thing that she used to rock but is more than OK with never seeing again is low-rise jeans. “When I see that now, I’m like, ‘whoa, those are actually borderline too low,’” she joked. In fact, one outfit in particular that Lohan wishes she could take back involved low-rise jeans.

While she isn’t revisiting her old style, Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis once again worked together to create a sequel to Freaky Friday, Freakier Friday, which is set to release on August 8.

“We wanted to make it as great as the original,” Lohan told Us. “You always have that fear that when something’s so great on its own, can you do better and can you be just as funny and can it be as exciting?” She explained that she and Curtis, 66, were up for the challenge and “ran with it.”

“It was really comforting to go back into a character that I already know,” she said of her role as Anna. “I’ve evolved as myself, I was able to have Anna evolve, and that was really exciting for me in a lot of ways.”

Lohan also reminisced on her first Old Navy purchase back in the day. “It was one of their colorful tees because they were simple, playful, everyday pieces,” she gushed.
