‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

NEED TO KNOW

• The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants premiered on May 31, 2005
• The film stars Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn
• All four actresses have remained close friends for 20 years

It’s been 20 years since one magical pair of jeans stitched four hearts together in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants — and they’re still fitting just right.

The film, an adaptation of Ann Brashares’ bestselling novel of the same name, premiered on May 31, 2005, and grossed more than $42 million globally at the box office.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants follows four friends — Lena (Alexis Bledel), Tibby (Amber Tamblyn), Carmen (America Ferrera) and Bridget (Blake Lively) — who are spending their first summer apart. Before they go their separate ways, they discover a pair of jeans that mysteriously fit all of them perfectly, despite their different body types. They decide to share the pants, mailing them to each other throughout the summer as a way to stay connected.

What’s even more magical than the coming-of-age story is the off-screen sisterhood that has never faded between Bledel, Tamblyn, Ferrera and Lively. The four leads have remained close friends over the past two decades, keeping in touch via a Sisterhood text chain and reuniting for life’s biggest moments.

“America Ferrara, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel – those are three women who I met when I was 16 years old, and I’ve been lucky to call them my friends and mentors ever since,” Lively told PEOPLE in 2016.

Here’s everything to know about where the cast of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is now.
