The Dancing with the Stars season 34 premiere saw Elaine Hendrix wow viewers right out of the gate. She performed a cha cha routine with some major throwback moments to Parent Trap after teasing the "intense" partnership she had with Alan Bersten.
The actress is best known for her role as the villainous character in several 90s films, including Evian in Superstar and, most notably, the evil stepmother Meredith Blake in The Parent Trap.
The actress was the third celebrity to dance during the episode, following Jordan Chiles and Dylan Efron.
She quickly impressed, appearing on stage with an iconic wide-brimmed black hat on her head, throwing things back to Meredith's first introduction in the hit movie.
Fans went wild over the reference, which wasn't the only one incorporated into the routine.
"That hat tho, I see you Meredith Blake," one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
"THE MEREDITH BLAKE HAT OH THE GAG," another added.
"THEY PUT ELAINE IN THE MEREDITH BLAKE HAT. TAKE MY VOTES," a third said.
Midway through, she and Bersten also recreated the famous handshake Lindsay Lohan's English character, Annie, performed with her butler, Marvin, and taught her twin sister, Hallie.
The two incorporated the hand and hip movements, sending fans into a further frenzy.
"Meredith blake welcome back to the ballroom," one person said.
"The Parent Trap references were stunning," another added.
