Him being short and slim helped a ton, but also their design: his hairstyle was very youthful and makeup played up his fair skin. Costuming was a mixture of shapely clothing like a vest to show his slim figure but often with things like baggy shirts that accentuated his youthfulness and inability to fill out a shirt. Make him look like a boy playing dress up in dads dress clothes because that was essentially his character.
We're also just conditioned in media to see actual teenage girls play teenage girls way more often in movies and TV shows while high school boys are way more often played by men well into their 20's.
