That’s so not fetch.

Amanda Seyfried revisited the beginning of her career and the “Mean Girls” premieres she attended without help from any stylists. 

The “Dropout” star told Jimmy Kimmel that she picked out her own dresses for the 2004 red carpets and even did her own makeup.

The 36-year-old actress said, “I did not have a stylist, I used the only money I had to buy a dress. There were two premieres and so I had to buy two dresses because you have to wear different dresses.” 

Kimmel showed pictures of her two questionable early aughts red carpet ensembles while she cringed. “I didn’t know any of the rules, so I was wearing a white bra, black underwear and no slip. I paid $600 for that dress,” the star said.

Before achieving teen drama superstardom, she was featured in print ads for Limited Too alongside Leighton Meester, appeared on “Sweet Valley High series” books as a cover model, and was a soap star on “As the World Turns” and “All My Children,” though “Mean Girls” was her first film role.

She joked that she “couldn’t even afford a ride home,” because of the expenses. Luckily, the premiere was in New York, so she ended up walking.

When Kimmel asked why she didn’t request for the studio to provide premiere outfits she explained that at the time she “didn’t ever ask anything because I thought I was in the way.”

As a mom of two she now says it’s “not the way I want to raise my daughter.”
