Long before Lindsay Lohan became America's favorite headline-grabber (although she’s making a comeback, y’all!), she was the ultimate teen queen, starring in movies like “The Parent Trap” and, of course, "Mean Girls.” Her most fashionable role, though, was as dogged kid reporter Lexy Gold in “Get a Clue.”

In the movie, Lexy and her friends are on the scene in NYC finding out what happened to their errant teacher after a photograph Lexy took appears in the local newspaper and he disappears. No spoilers here, but I will tell you that the squad knows how to solve a crime.

In honor of the movie’s thirteenth anniversary today (June 28), here are all the ways LiLo kicked butt and took names in the Disney classic.

She was willing to do whatever it took to get the scoop.

And she knew the importance of hard work.

She used the most up-to-date technology.

Well, for the time at least.

She knew how to use covert surveillance.

She was the coolest girl in school.

Probably due to her kickass fashion sense.

Seriously, she knew how to accessorize.

Of course, her squad was pretty fashionable too.

Her BFF (oh hey, Brenda Song!) was always there to help out.

Brb, going out to buy those headphones right now.

She knew how to put her friendships and her work ahead of unnecessary drama.

She was just full of wisdom.

And was super knowledgeable.

True that, Lexy.

She had the best facial expressions.

Seriously, the best.

She knew how to use sarcasm when needed.

But she also knew how to stay chill.

And in the end, she had the smarts to put the whole case together.

Lexy Gold: an icon for teens everywhere.
