KEVIN GNAPOOR

LEA EDWARDS

Paramount

Best known for: Being impressed that Regina has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus, as well as for wearing a skirt that was her mom's in the '80s – it's vintage and so adorable, but in reality, the "ugliest f-ing skirt" that Regina has ever seen. She also gets her hair soaked by a sprinkler and it's the worst thing to ever happen to her.

ALISHA MORRISON

Her Instagram bio says #UnfriendlyBlackHottie, so she's clearly still as obsessed with the movie as we are.
