“Lip Sync Battle” made 90s kids very happy on Thursday night’s episode, when Zoe Saldana came on stage channeling her inner Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
The Dominican actress came out sporting an ensemble that was immediately recognizable amongst “TLC” fans.
Staying true to the “No Scrubs” video, the 37-year-old star jumped on a swing, just like Chilli did back in 1999, wearing a silver bra and matching wide-leg trousers paired with Lopes’s signature pigtails.
As soon as Saldana stepped down from the swing, the “Lip Sync Battle” dance crew joined her and together they mimicked some of the dance moves made famous by the R&B group.
But just when you thought this couldn’t get any better, Chilli and T-Boz entered the stage and performed the rest of the song with her.
Soon enough, Chrissy Teigen, LL Cool J and Zachary Quinto were singing along the newly assembled “TLC.”
Zoe talked about her experience preparing for the show during an interview with Elliot Morgan the day before going live.
“Yes, I’m nervous,” she confessed. “Nervous like you wouldn’t believe, and I’m also exhausted and we haven’t even shot the show.”
Morgan then proceeded to stir the pot a little bit and told Zoe that Zachary, her “Star Trek” co-star and rival during the battle, was talking “like a lot of trash” about her.
“Then he better bring it! she replied. “Zachary better bring it!”
Quinto, who performed Missy Elliot’s “Get Ur Freak,” didn’t stand a chance after Saldana’s epic performance next to “TLC.”

Lisa Nicole Lopes, better known in the industry as “Left Eye,” left an imprint on the world through her music and free spirit. She died in a fatal car accident on April 25, 2002, in Honduras.
