WATCH: Drew Barrymore brings back an iconic prom dress moment

Drew made her official debut on TikTok separate from her show, and her first video featured her wearing an 80s style pink prom dress, with puffy sleeves and frills, similar to the kind Josie wore in the movie.

She went completely in on her transformation, even wearing her hair in a ponytail, putting on braces, and dancing around like the character.

The video involved her taking on the Magic Bomb (Questions I Get Asked) trend, where she goofily answered questions like "What's your favorite food?" and "Are you Drew Barrymore?"
