Lindsay Lohan Topped Her Stylish Summer Uniform with the Lightweight Layer Gwyneth Paltrow Wears, Too

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.

I never thought I would be more obsessed with Lindsay Lohan than I was in 2004, but fast-forward 20 years later, and I’m a bigger fan than ever. 

As such, you can only imagine the joy I felt when Walt Disney Studios announced Freaky Friday 2’s impending arrival by sharing a photo of Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis holding hands in front of their trailers on June 25. Couple that initial excitement with the love I felt for Lohan’s effortlessly elegant summer-ready outfit, and it’s a wonder why the snap isn’t yet framed and hanging in my living room.

Lohan channeled coastal grandma energy in the photo, styling a black bodysuit with wide-leg jeans and coordinating black ballet flats. As if that wasn’t stylish enough, she finished the look by throwing a black-and-white striped cardigan over her shoulders like Gwyneth Paltrow did a few weeks prior.

After spotting it on Paltrow, I was already planning to add a striped cardigan to my cart, but Lohan just confirmed that a lightweight sweater is the surprising summer staple my closet is missing. If you’re also looking to pull a Freaky Friday by copying the actress’s look, keep scrolling to shop cardigans, wide-leg jeans, and Mary Jane flats at Amazon from $20.

Lillusory Crew Neck Cardigan

I love throwing cardigans in my work tote in the summer to help combat freezing temperatures in the office, and now, I’m definitely snagging this striped option while it’s on sale. It’s racked up hundreds of perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers who praise its “luxurious” quality and “buttery soft” feel in their reviews, and more than 800 people have added it to their carts in the past month.

Wear it thrown effortlessly over your shoulders with dresses or bodysuits, like Lohan, this summer, or style it with jeans and sneakers once temperatures cool. 

Grapent High-Waisted Flare Jeans

Wide-leg jeans are a mainstay in celebrity fashion world — and Lohan’s look proves they’re here to stay. We found a flared pair from Amazon that looks so similar to the actress’s dark-wash bottoms, and they’re popular among shoppers for their “undeniably cute” look and “super comfy” fit. Snag them in dark blue, or choose from 33 additional colors. 

“These fit my body comfortably with light stretch but are long enough for my legs,” one reviewer wrote. “So cute. [They] have become my go-to jeans for summer.”

Rekayla Mary Jane Flats

Ballet flats have become my “It” shoes of the summer for their comfy fit and feminine look, so it’s only natural that I’m eyeing this Mary Jane pair from Amazon. Available in 10 colors, including trendy red and black like Lohan wore, the flats have earned more than 1,200 five-star ratings for their “sturdy” fit and “classy” design. Reviewers note that they’re “comfortable right out of the box,” and one user even wrote that they resemble a designer pair that’s “over three hundred dollars.”
