The iconic 2004 film *Mean Girls* remains a cultural touchstone, its quotable lines and sharp satire of high school cliques endlessly re-examined and celebrated. Beyond the witty dialogue and memorable characters, the movie subtly but effectively showcases the aspirational consumerism of its affluent setting. While the film doesn't explicitly detail every character's possessions, certain items become symbolic representations of their social standing, particularly Regina George's seemingly limitless supply of designer goods. But what if we updated the material possessions of the *Mean Girls* cast to reflect the current landscape of luxury? Let's delve into a reimagining of their world, focusing particularly on the implied wealth suggested by the film, and how that might translate today.
The original film subtly hints at the wealth of the characters through glimpses of their lifestyles. Regina's opulent home, her seemingly endless wardrobe, and her various accessories all point to a life of privilege. The cars themselves, while not central to the plot, offer a glimpse into the families' economic standing. This article will explore the implied wealth of the characters, focusing particularly on how it might manifest in 2024, using the example of "She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus" as a starting point for a broader discussion.
Let's start with Cady Heron’s parents. As two academics living in the very ritzy neighborhood of Evanston, Illinois, I do think they’d be a little more budget-conscious than the rest of Cady’s friends. In the original movie, they’re seen driving a 2000-something vehicle, suggesting a practical approach to transportation. In our updated *Mean Girls* universe, their car might be a used, but well-maintained, hybrid SUV like a Toyota Highlander Hybrid or a Subaru Outback Wilderness. This reflects their environmentally conscious values, often associated with academics, while still maintaining a level of comfort suitable for their lifestyle. They wouldn’t be driving a luxury vehicle; their focus would likely be on practicality and efficiency, rather than ostentatious displays of wealth. This contrasts sharply with the more extravagant choices of their daughter's friends.
