8 Relatable Moments of Lizzie McGuire That Still Make Her Iconic

By: Kamilyah McMiller

We know her, we love her. The princess of sassiness and meltdowns with a closet we all *slightly* wanted to have, aka Lizzie McGuire. Here are eight scenes of hers that most of us have had at least once in our lives: 

1. An Unlimited Closet with Impossible Outfits

 Girls, we get this dilemma: we have “clothes” but not “outfits”. It’s a struggle being a fashionista when we can’t find something that’ll turn heads. 

2.  Why do we need alarms? 

I agree with Lizzie, they’re loud, obnoxious, and can ruin any morning. Anything that interrupts eight hours of beauty sleep is an immediate, no thank you. 

3. The Graduation Dress Rememberer (Aka Kate Sanders…)

In this economy, everyone slays at being an outfit repeater. Don’t let someone like Kate bring you down, embrace it and wear whatever, whenever. 

4. The Daunting Fashion Show 

Whether you’re out with friends (or mother) everyone’s fashion sense looks slightly different. But, I think we can collectively agree, this Bridgerton snail mucus protege was not it. 

And let’s not forget about this masterpiece that was an epic fail. Come on, we need more functional designs!

5. Mean Girls and their Forced Compliments 

Kate (again) was the epitome of a fake queen bee. At least be nice from the heart. Mocking compliments to make them seem like a generous human being is never a good sign (and they’ll sell tickets to your downfall). 

6. When Paolo *literally* comes out of the shadows to swoon Lizzie in Rome. 

He was a dream… in the beginning. 

Let’s face it, we’ve all dazed over a celebrity crush or have seen a man that was written by a woman. But, don’t let them fool you, they can also turn out like Paolo, accent or not. 

7. The Lizzie and Miranda Look of Confusement 

We’re all victims of this look. Ever with a friend and see something that doesn’t sound or look quite right? You most likely make this face. And their telepathic friendship dynamic is the definition of “what just happened?”. 

8. “My once-in-a-lifetime chance is gonna come around” 

Sometimes we all need a little luck. When you’re a manifester like Lizzie, and situations don’t turn out to plan, it’s hard to think things can turn around. 

Hilary Duff and the rest of the cast were originally bound to make a Lizzie McGuire reboot come to life. But, this was canceled by Disney in 2020 after the creator started filming. While we hope for the reversal of this decision, grab some popcorn (and a weekend) to binge your favorite episodes of the era. And don’t forget the movie!
