90s legend has barely aged in Netflix movie 20 years after hit film and hiding baby bump

A 90s film star has barely aged a day - 20 years on from starring in a worldwide hit.

The popular actress also counts a long-running TV show among her past projects.

Lacey Chabert, 42, is perhaps best known for starring as Gretchen Wieners in 2004's fan favourite Mean Girls.

Fans will remember Gretchen as part of "The Plastics", a clique of popular high school girls.

She was also right-hand woman and best friend to Regina George (Rachel McAdams).

More recently, Lacey has the lead role in Hot Frosty, an upcoming Netflix Christmas fantasy rom-com movie.

Her character, in the movie, Cathy, is a widow facing loneliness.

However, she's in for an unexpected surprise when a snowman magically transforms into an attractive human man.

The film's cast also features Schitts Creek's Dustin Milligan, The Office's Craig Robinson, Brooklyn 99's Joe Lo Truglio and Selling Sunset's Chrishell Strause.

Lacey has previously appeared in several sentimental festive films for Hallmark.

Back in 2016, Lacey had to hide her pregnancy bump on set - as the character she played was certainly not pregnant.

According to MailOnline, she shared a post to Instagram revealing a "magical" dress - it seemingly made the bump vanish from the front, while still visible from the side.

Lacey captioned: "So I definitely haven't been being filmed from any side angles in this movie!

"Thank you to @seraphinematernity for this dress which worked its magic to help hide the baby belly from the front!"

Earlier in her career, she played Claudia Salinger on the FOX teen drama series Party of Five.

Airing for six seasons, it followed a group of siblings adjusting to their new life after their parents' deaths in a car accident.

It also starred Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell and Scott Wolf as her older on-screen family.

She was the original voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy for the animated show's first series.

Meanwhile, Lacey's other movies include Lost in Space, Daddy Day Care and Not Another Teen Movie.

Hot Frosty will be released on Netflix on November 13, 2024.
