10 Incredible Comedy Movie Details You Definitely Missed

10. Gretchen's Hoop Earrings - Mean Girls

If one of your friends ordered you not to wear a specific piece of clothing, you'd probably tell them to mind their own business, right? Well, that's because you're not buddies with the terrifying Regina George. When this mean girl tells you to stop wearing something, you stop.

The original Mean Girls was a side-splitting comedy that lovingly explored high school clique culture and created a menacing villain in the leader of the "plastics," Regina. One of her most toxic traits was her fashion gatekeeping, dictating to her lackeys what they could and couldn't wear. 

A major victim of this tyrannical reign was Regina's supposed "BFF" Gretchen, who she forbade from wearing hoop earrings as they were "her thing." But don't feel too bad for Gretchen or her accessories, as things eventually turned around for the both of them, although you might have missed it. 

As the film wrapped up, it showed off each of the mean girls post-prom, with Gretchen hanging out with the "cool Asians" in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. Still, if you're quick enough, you can spot that she's wearing hoop earrings again, proving that she has moved on from Regina and is looking pretty fetch.
