In an appearance on MTV's When I Was 17, the actress said that she had friends from every group and managed to fit in wherever she went.
"I was the popular geeky girl," she explained.
"I had friends that were, like, in the smoke hole, and I had friends that were in the choir with me. But I was also a Tigette, which was a pompom girl [for the school's team, the Tigers]."
Chenoweth added that she tried to stay on top of fashion while in school and took inspiration from her favourite artists.
"When I was 17, I looked like Belinda Carlisle," she said.
"I had her exact haircut. I wore big earrings. I wore a lace bow in my hair tied to the side at all times."
When I Was 17 airs Saturdays at 11am on MTV.
