She tends to be the most serious member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan during her appearances on her family’s reality series.
But Kendall Jenner showed off a gift for comedy in a new TikTok video on Tuesday that recreates one of the funniest scenes from Mean Girls (2004).
In the film, the twenty-seven-year-old model played a scene in which a girl speaks at a meeting, only to find out that she “doesn’t even go to school.”
The catwalk star was dressed in a red Ohio State hoodie that hugged her lithe figure.
The outfit appears to be related to her trip to Ohio on Monday to speak at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Cleveland.

Midwest trip: She was engulfed in a red Ohio State hoodie, likely from her visit to Cleveland for the Forbes Under-30 Summit on Monday. She was dressed as Damien (Daniel Franzese), who originally wore a blue hoodie and sunglasses
A modern classic: Lindsay Lohan starred in Mean Girls as an academically gifted transplant at home to a public high school, while Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert played the Plastics clique
Kendall filmed the video outdoors in a fall setting while wearing a baggy red Ohio State hoodie with dark jeans and a green Ralph Lauren baseball cap, along with black sunglasses.
Kendall mimicked the aviator sunglasses and green hoodie that Damien (Daniel Franzese) wore tied tightly around her face in the film.
Her TikTok featured the original audio from a tumultuous scene, which takes place late in the film when Mrs. Sharon Norbury (played by screenwriter Tina Fey) organizes a rally for younger girls to try to work through their problems.
But the session was hijacked by a previously invisible girl who steals the spotlight with a bizarre and comically tearful speech.
“I wish I could bake a cake made of rainbows and smiles, and we could all eat and be happy,” Kendall lip synced as she stood awkwardly with her hood pulled tight around her face.
One of Kendall’s friends replaced Damien and yelled from under the tree, ‘She doesn’t even go here!’
Another pal played Tina Fey’s character and held a clipboard to stand in for the gossip-filled ‘Burn book’ the Saturday Night Live star held in the film.
All three lip syncers in the TikTok video wore Ohio State hoodies, though it was unclear if each had their own or if they alternated wearing one hoodie for each shot.
It worked: Kendall recreated the school reunion scene where she was kidnapped by a girl who turned out not to be a student. “I wish I could bake a cake of rainbows and smiles, and we could all eat it and be happy,” she said
Voice in the crowd: One of Kendall’s friends stepped into Damien’s shoes and yelled from under the tree, ‘She’s not even going here!’

Playful: Kendall contorted her face at the end of the clip as she admitted she wasn’t a high school student but just had ‘a lot of feelings’ she wanted to express
Kendall contorted her face at the end of the video as she admitted that she wasn’t a high school senior, but just had “a lot of feelings” she wanted to express.
The original Mean Girls starred Lindsay Lohan — who does not play a significant role in the comedy video — as Cady Heron, an academically gifted homeschooler who transfers to a public high school.
Cady falls in love with a boy in her class, who happens to be the ex of Regina George (Rachel McAdams), the leader of the Plastik gossip clique (along with Amanda Seyfriend and Lacey Chabert).
She ends up trying to infiltrate the group to get closer to her love interest, though she struggles with the urge to adopt their social status.
Kendall may have filmed her lip sync video while still in Ohio for an appearance at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Cleveland.
The model and Kardashian looked effortlessly stylish in the eye-catching suit, although she swapped trousers for a maxi skirt.
Although she wasn’t part of this year’s main 30 Under 30 list, Kendall was still a sought-after interview subject for the summit.
At the summit, she spoke about how she went from catwalk star to spirits magnate with her label 818 Tequila.
The event also featured a conversation with her boyfriend, rapper and singer Bud Bunny.
During an on-stage chat with Forbes, Kendall admitted that she had doubts about trying to branch out from modeling into a business.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have moments of doubt and confusion,” she said, according to Forbes. “Moving into founding and owning my own business was a really cool way to get to know myself.”
She admitted that she — and any other business leader — would make mistakes along the way, but “working with integrity and authenticity will always bring positive results.”
As an example of one of those potential missteps, Kendall recounted how she was accused of cultural appropriation when she founded the tequila label in 2021. However, she said she took steps to mitigate those concerns by focusing on the brand’s socially conscious side goals.
One way she said 818 Tequila tries to give back is by recycling waste agave fibers into bricks, which are then donated in Mexico to help create new structures.
