Lisa Ann Walter is welcoming her function as a style pattern setter.
During a special interview with E! News, the starlet, who stars in the hit ABC funny Abbott Elementary, exposed how she felt after discovering her character Chessy, from the 1998 funny T he Parent Trap, had actually ended up being a Gen Z style esthetic on TikTok. “I think it’s lovely, it never gets old,” she shared. “When I was wearing the wardrobe at the time, I’m like ‘Really? A big shirt that covers my waist? My pants that are right at my ankle? OK, Nancy, I’ll wear whatever you want me to wear’.”
Chessy, who was the live-in baby-sitter for Nick Parker’s (Dennis Quaid) child Hallie Parker (Lindsay Lohan), consistently worn saggy trousers, a loose fitting tee shirt and a large-scale jean coat.
“But it works,” Lisa’s Abbott Elementary co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph chimed in. Lisa concurred, keeping in mind, “It’s comfortable and I think your generation, the younger generations are so much smarter, in a way, then we are.”
She continued, “They’re like, ‘I’m not shoving my pigs in little pointy shoes with big heels. I’m going to be in comfortable shoes and like a floppy shirt and some comfy chino pants.”
