Twenty years on, here are the style lessons we learned from Cher Horowitz and friends – from the power of a white shirt to the perils of flat hair
Pretty much everything I know about life, I learned from Clueless. It is, hands down, the best fashion film ever made. Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Strong eyeliner game, but as a romanticisation of eternal unfulfilment and dysfunctional relationships, not a great blueprint for life. Clueless, on the other hand – which is celebrating its 20th birthday with the happy news of a Broadway musical in the works – is a veritable bible for living, with wise lessons to impart on the subjects of friendship, boys, sex, kindness, not to mention the rules of accessorising and the power of a white shirt. Watch and learn.
