She is portrayed by Rachel McAdams in the film, Taylor Louderman in its Broadway musical version, and Reneé Rapp as the Broadway replacement and in the 2024 film adaptation of the musical.

In subsequent years, Regina has been described as a cultural icon. She has also often been used in American politics, particularly in comparison with Donald Trump.

Fictional character biography

Regina George lives with her mother June,{{sfn|Hebert|2024}} who is shallow and self-absorbed,{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=41}} and a younger sister, Kylie.{{sfn|Logan|2017}} She attends a fictional North Shore High School.{{sfn|Horn|2024}} In the beginning of the movie, Regina is seen being carried by five boys on a field by protagonist Cady Heron, who has just moved from Africa.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=5}}{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=2}} She is warned of Regina and told to avoid her by outcasts Damian Leigh and Janis Ian,{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|pp=2-3}} who describe her "fabulousness" as an "unattainable goal".{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=5}} Regina is seen to be the subject of obsession by her classmates.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=5}}

Soon after, Regina invites Cady to sit with her clique, the Plastics, at lunch.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=3}} After an invitation to join the group, Janis convinces Cady to pretend to be friends with Regina, in order to get revenge after Regina socially ostracized her.{{sfn|Meyer|Waldron|Stern|2014|p=13}} It is later revealed that the pair were friends until 8th grade, when Regina spread a rumor that Janis was a lesbian.{{sfn|Meyer|Waldron|Stern|2014|p=17}} Regina invites Cady to her lavish house with the Plastics, where she shows her a "burn book", a journal the Plastics use to insult students and faculty at their school. After Regina learns Cady has a crush on her ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she kisses him in front of Cady at a Halloween party, upsetting her. Regina and Aaron rekindle their relationship.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=3}}

Cady, Damian, and Janis decide to destroy Regina's "resources" for popularity by breaking Aaron and her up, tricking her into eating weight-gain protein bars, and turning the Plastics against each other.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=3}} Regina is dethroned from queen bee status, with Cady taking her place.{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=40}} After Regina finds out what Cady has done, she copies and distributes pages of the burn book around the school, framing Cady and former Plastic members Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith as the authors of the book.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=3}} The contents of the book spark fights around the school, leading to all junior girls being brought to the gymnasium by a teacher, Ms Norbury. When Regina refuses to apologize, Janis openly admits her plot to sabotage Regina's social status. Regina leaves the school furious, with Cady following her, attempting to apologize. As Regina insults Cady by calling her a "less-hot version of [Regina]", a school bus hits her and breaks her spine.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=3}}

After Cady wins Queen of the Spring Fling dance, she apologizes for her actions and distributes pieces of her plastic tiara to members of the crowd, including Regina.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|pp=3-4}} Regina takes up lacrosse to channel her anger and learns to change her behaviour.{{sfn|Avillez|Wisel|2014}}{{sfn|Mendez II|2024}} The film ends with the Plastics having gone their separate ways.{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=4}}

Creation and characterization

Director Mark Waters was impressed with Rachel McAdams' audition for the role of Regina George, noting that she seemed to intimidate co-star Lindsay Lohan and "dominated" the room. The decision for Regina came between McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, however, McAdams was eventually chosen for the role.{{sfn|Lenker|2024}}

As the leader of the Plastics,{{sfn|Walderzak|2019|p=498}} Regina has been described as a manipulative and beautiful queen bee.{{sfn|Dymond|Murguía|2022|p=248}} She is recognized as being extremely beautiful.{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=44}} Regina's name is of Latin origin, meaning "the queen".{{sfn|Bajzek|2021|p=5}} As the leader of the Plastics, Regina enforces strict rules for other members to follow, including a dress code.{{sfn|Meyer|Waldron|Stern|2014|p=17}}

Reception and analysis

As a prominent figure in popular culture,{{sfn|Kanai|2017|pp=11}} Regina is regarded as a cultural icon,{{sfn|Holback|2023|p=3}} and a queen bee.{{efn|Attributed to several sources, including {{harv|Bentley|2019|pp=145}}, {{harv|Dymond|Murguía|2022|p=248}}, {{harv|Kanai|2017|pp=11}}, {{harv|McMillan|2017|p=89}}, {{harv|Meyer|Waldron|Stern|2014|p=13}}, and {{harv|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=40}}}} In 2019, she was named by The Independent as the "meanest high school film character of all time".{{sfn|Hall|2019}}

Maria Robinson-Cseke found that Regina and Cady's conflict was revealed through their vastly different backgrounds, such as Regina being rich, glamorous, and mean, whilst Cady was middle-class, plain and kind.{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=41}} She also asserted that Regina characterization was unlike traditional villain tropes, as though she is beautiful, Regina becomes a metaphorical monster.{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=44}} At Regina's Halloween party, Cady dresses as a monster, making guests physically recoil and keep distance, symbolizing her transformation into Regina.{{sfn|Robinson-Cseke|2009|p=44}}

In the Popular Culture Studies Journal, Michaela Meyer, Linda Waldron and Danielle Stern argued that Mean Girls (2004) showed immense significance in its depiction of race, where light skin is the ideal symbol of status and power. They asserted that Regina regulated the standard of beauty and popularity, promoting a "posessive investment" in whiteness.{{sfn|Meyer|Waldron|Stern|2014|pp=19-20}}

Political influence

Since 2016, Regina has been discussed extensively in topics relating to Politics of the United States, often being compared to politician and media personality Donald Trump.{{sfn|Zoladz|2017}}{{sfn|Rocque|2019}} During the 2016 United States presidential election, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton compared Republican candidate Trump to Regina in an advertisement campaign.{{sfn|Merica|2016}} On the day of the election, #ReginaGeorge trended on Twitter following satirical support for her as President of the United States.{{sfn|Funke|2016}} In 2019, Clinton responded to Trump on Twitter with a clip of Regina asking "why are you so obsessed with me?".{{sfn|Burgess|2019}} Mike Bloomberg featured Regina George in an advertisement against Trump, in a clip where she says "God, Karen, you are so stupid!".{{sfn|Riotta|2020}}
