Joe JonasandSophie Turnerhave mastered the art of the couple’s costume.
The pair served some major nostalgia in their costumes asThe Lizzie McGuire Moviecharacters Paolo Valisari and Isabella Parigi, with their friend Olivia De Jonge as Lizzie. “Sing to me Paolo,” Turner captioned a photo of their looks, referencing Isabella’s most iconic line.
They even earned a stamp approval fromHilary Duff, who starred in the movie as the titular Lizzie McGuire, as well as her Italian pop star doppelgänger Isabella. “IM SCREAMING 😭😭😭,” Duff, 34, commented on the photo.
Duff’s breakout role came as the quirky teenager inLizzie McGuire, which ran for two seasons from 2001 to 2004 on the Disney Channel. In the 2003 theatrically-released film, Lizzie goes on a class trip to Rome, where she’s quickly mistaken for Isabella, whose estranged creative collaborator Paolo (Yani Gellman) convinces her to fill in for the AWOL musician during a big performance.

Turner, 25, previouslythrew her hat in the ringfor a role on the revival, adding that she was “obviously devastated” over the show being put on hold at the time.
After Disney first announced that Duffwould be returning for the rebootat the D23 Expo in 2019, showrunner Terri Minsky, who created the original series,was firedin January 2020. Minsky reportedly wanted to make an “adult version” of the show, but Disney wanted to keep it kid-friendly.
“Fans have a sentimental attachment toLizzie McGuireand high expectations for a new series,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. “After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the series.”
Duffattempted to have the show moved to Hulu, where they could depict a more mature version of the now 30-year-old character, but she announced in December that the revivalwas no longer happening.
“It was a big disappointment obviously. I will forever be grateful for the two episodes that we did shoot,” DufftoldGood Morning Americain March. “It was a really special two weeks of my life.”
Duffhas since been cast as the leadin Hulu’sHow I Met Your Father, a sequel series toHow I Met Your Mother.
