I think Kirsten Dunst deserves to be atleast in honorable mention. Bring It On, Get Over It, Crazy/Beautiful, I do remember seeing her face a lot in 2000s magazines

[@marlonclark1896]

let's not forget the movie that jumpstarted her career interview with a vampire and her role in the Sam Raimi spider-man films

Definitely but she was more popular in the 90s but she still holds her own now

Poor Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes, they were thrust into the spotlight at vulnerable ages, which may account for their messed up adult lives. I hope that they're happier now.

[@chasehedges6775]

Same. Just sad

[@trinaq]

Hilary Duff was the Teen Queen of the 2000's for me. She has such a likable, genuine quality to her, which has carried through to her role on "How I met your Father."

[@julz3tt3]

I agree. That's how you successfully transition from child star to adult actor.

[@filmmovies6986]

id say Miley Cyrus carried.

[@nolimitdeuce]

I miss the 2000s life was so much easier no job and no responsibilities. Just being a kid and going to school was the only priority 💯💯

Yes Matee

[@trinity3877]

Lindsay Lohan’s filmography is untouched.

[@Julian-p7q-b4t]

She is really great. But in general, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio are the biggest movie stars of all time and it's not even close.

These people became more than teen movie stars, so many of them became straight up teen idols!

2000s was like the prime era of entertainment, and being a kid. And it gave rise to so many entertainment icons. Miss it so much

[@mastersnet18]

Yea it was a great time to be a teen too. The movies were so good back then.

[@Fl0k5ser]

Ashley Tisdale played Sharpay in the 3 HSM movies in the same decade and yet she wasn't on this list? Come on MsMojo, you can do better

[@marlonclark1896]

they're going to need to do a part 2 to this list

[@usera1113]

Yeah she was also in Aliens in the Attic and Picture This, so not just HSM movies

[@mattmc5069]

Lindsay Lohan is great. Any movie she is in you know it will be amazing. Though done later, labor pains is one of my favorites movies.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Y2K Icons just hit different. Also, we need more coverage on Raven-Symoné, Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley and Anne Hathaway. P.S. Chad Michael Murray is such a heartthrob and he’s so cute 🥰

[@thomasm.longiii3752]

It’s sad some of these stars wound up in trouble in the later years. Few of them I never heard of. I have some to say, Shia LaBeouf, starting in even Stevens as a kid but then a teen and later having a breakthrough in the movie ‘holes’ which started his career and he really killed it in the acting business during the mid to late 2000s but in recent years he’s gotten in trouble with the law which has sorta rocked his career. Vanessa Hudgens, starting in high school musical she did an awesome job which really got her career kicked off, from then on she’s been in lots of movies and fashion magazines til this day. Victoria Justice, started in projects in the 2000s with Zoey 101 and other films and shows, though the 2010s is really when her career really kicked off, she’s been in many movies and shows til this day (I wouldn’t forget about Elizabeth Gillies, Ariana Grande, Daniella Monet which they started in the 2000s but kicked off in the 2010s). Kirsten Dunst, despite entering adulthood during the 2000s, her performance in ‘bring it on’ was a huge success which I understood during her last remaining teen years. Brenda Song, with her role as London Tipton during the 2000s Disney channels Zack and Cody and it’s spin off, it really kicked her her career (and also with Debby Ryan as well). Alexa Vega, starting in the movie ‘twister’ as young Jo, she went on as a star throughout the 2000s and she continues til this day. There are many more I could say. The 2000s were quite a thing for teen stars.

[@Missmagazinebura]

Vanessa hudgens , Ashley tisdale , and penn Badgley , Blake lively

[@michaelfritz5816]

People forget, Amanda Bynes. Started in All That. In the 90s. Then the Amanda show.

[@BAMOORE94]

I’m actually surprised we didn’t get Raven Symone on this list as well . There are so many people we didn’t see like Brittany Snow, Emily Osment (spell check) and more

[@meganpaige3077]

Lindsay Lohan is arguably the teen queen of the 2000s.

[@valerierules12]

[@nehsangbong7259]

@@valerierules12 lol Hilary is among them too lol. Hilary, Lindsay, Raven, The Olsen Twins, Amanda Bynes, were the IT teen girls of the 2000s. If you remember the VF magazine where they cover the teen Queens of the 2000s, she's among them. Lizzie McGuire was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I used to read that VF magazine all the time hahaha 😄.
