We just love how cute they look!

Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino were spotted filming the “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” sequel in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Almost 30 years after the original film premiered, the actresses are reprising their respective roles of high school best friends Michele Weinberger and Romy White.

The “Friends” star, 62, sported an all-pink ensemble, including a cropped jacket, miniskirt with leggings and a charm belt and matching shades.

Kudrow’s bright blond hair was sleekly styled to her shoulders as she held onto a purple bag and accessorized with white sneakers.

Meanwhile, Sorvino, 58, was clad in a purple trench coat dress adorned with a silver, rhinestone belt, purple sunglasses and a matching pink purse.

The “DWTS” alum wore her blond locks in flowing curls and was dressed in sneakers.

Also seen on set was Alan Cumming who portrays high school nerd turned millionaire, Sandy Fink.

In the photos, the “Traitors” host, 61, donned a purple striped suit.

Two of the newest cast members Keegan-Michael Key and Rob Huebel were also seen on location filming with the trio.

According to TMZ, Romy and Michele’s Jaguar from the first movie will be back for the sequel, as well.

Along with Kudrow, Sorvino and Cumming, Janeane Garofalo returns as outcast Heather Mooney, Camryn Manheim is back as the teacher’s pet, Toby Walters, and Julia Campbell is reprising her role as popular girl Christie Masters.

Newbies Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton and Nathan Lee Graham are coming aboard the Hulu sequel, but details about their roles remain under wraps.

20th Century Studios first confirmed a second film was in the works earlier this month, sharing a snap to Instagram of Kudrow and Sorvino sitting in director chairs on set.

The text on the chairs read, “Romy and Michele 2.”

“The reunion you’ve been waiting for!” the caption said. “The Romy and Michele sequel is now in production.”

The comedy’s original screenwriter Robin Schiff will write the second project.

“Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” hit theaters in 1997 and followed Romy and Michele traveling to Arizona to attend their 10-year high school reunion.

Ahead of their road trip, the best friends made a pact to pretend to be successful to all of their former classmates.

In 2024, Sorvino confessed that a sequel was in the works.

“Almost every single character from the original that was important is coming back,” she told People at the time.

The “Mighty Aphrodite” star reflected on the film’s lasting impact on pop culture, revealing on the “Work in Progress” podcast in March that she and Schiff received “a five minute standing ovation” from fans at recent screenings.

“I’m continuously amazed at how much this movie has meant to people in their lives,” she gushed.
