Clueless was on TV this weekend (actually, its been on TV quite a lot lately.) Sometimes people give me a funny face when they ask me about my favorite film, and I say Clueless. (I’m too embarrassed to say Lord of the Rings. But really, its a tie between the two.) Since I know all the words to the movie, and can recite Cher’s speeches by heart, when I see the film now, I tend to focus on the outfits. The outfits are simply amazing, and, its been long enough now that they are actually back in fashion. Here’s a couple of great outfits from the movie, and some quotes. I know most of these off by heart, but I also found this very handy website of great Clueless quotes.
I love Amber's outfits, she was definitely one of the best-dressed characters in the film.
Amber: “Was I the only one listening?I thought it reeked.”
Cher: “No I believe that’s your designer imposter perfume.”
I love Dionne's sweater with the oversized cuff and collars sticking out.
Josh: “Ooh, getting Marky Mark to take time out of his busy pants-dropping schedule to plant trees.”
The movie was filmed at the same high school as the original Beverly Hills 90210 was filmed.
Cher: “I’m surfing the crimson wave, I had to haul ass to the ladies.”
Mini skirts galore!
Dionne’s boyfriend, describing gays: “Disco-dancing, Oscar-Wilde reading, Streisand-ticket-holding, friend of Dorothy.”
I love that Dionne coordinates her hats to her outfits.
Heather: It’s just like Hamlet said, “To thine own self be true.”
Cher: Hamlet didn’t say that.
Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.
Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn’t say that. That Polonius guy did.
The famous Alaia dress that got ruined when Cher was mugged. Thanks to Clueless I discovered Alaia.
Josh: You look like Pippi Longstocking.
Cher: Well you look like Forrest Gump. Who’s Pippi Longstocking?
Josh: Someone Mel Gibson never played.
I love the mini-skirts suits with tees and cardigans.
Cher: Do you prefer “fashion victim” or “ensembly challenged”?
The best-dressed gym class EVER.
Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
Dionne: Well, there goes your social life.
Cher's "prim" look.
Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign.
Cher: I totally paused.
I used to have a fluffy pen like that too. Inspired by Cher, of course.
Josh: You know maybe Marky Mark wants to use his popularity for a good cause, make a contribution. In case you’ve never heard of that, a contribution is…
Cher: Excuse me, but I have donated many expensive Italian outfits to Lucy, and as soon I get my license, I fully intend to brake for animals, and I have contributed many hours to helping two lonely teachers find romance.
Josh: Which I’ll bet serves your interests more than theirs. You know, If I ever saw you do anything that wasn’t ninety percent selfish, I’d die of shock.
Cher: Oh, that’d be reason enough for me.
Who wouldn't kill for her closet?
Cher: Let’s do a lap before we commit to a location.
If Clueless had been released in this day and age, the costume director or stylist would probably have become a celebrity too.
