Get the Look: Cher's Black & White Outfit from Clueless
Clueless is a 1990s cult classic. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it as soon as you can. It's one of my top favorite movies ever; I've mentioned it a couple times: Halloween Costume Idea. There are so many wonderful & memorable outfits from the film, & they'll leave you lusting for your own version. I want to highlight Cher's black & white look from the beginning of the film because it's simple, approachable, & easy to recreate.
The best part is you may have most of these items in your wardrobe. They're wearable & versatile garments you can utilize over & over. The first thing you'll need is a sheer black button-up shirt with a white cropped tank top underneath. It's easy, breezy, beautiful. Cher's sheer shirt has ruffled cuffs so you can keep that in mind if you want to be authentic. But you go could for a white tank with a black/sheer shirt.
The next thing you'll need is a pair of black trousers. Most of us probably already have these for formal days, job interviews, work, whatever. They are sleek & the perfect way to wear pants. Cher's trousers are slightly baggier, but I prefer something more fitted. It's the ideal way to modernize a 90s inspired outfit.
Oxford shoes are having a huge come back. They're all over the place & they are pretty easy to find. You may want to go for a pair of shiny, chunky oxford shoes. They are nearly identical to the ones that you could see Cher wearing in Clueless.
In the film, Cher wears a choker necklace, a beaded cross necklace, & a simple ring. Keep the look clean & elegant with a darling beaded necklace. A beaded necklace can be used in a myriad of ways so you won't be left owning something that you never use.
Clueless has so many awesome outfits it's hard to ignore. Try to pull together this look with items you have in your closet. See how close you can get to the original & then you can integrate a couple pieces from your own wardrobe.

Get the Look: Bianca's Prom Dress from 10 Things I Hate About You
90s style is all the rage. I recently got a blast from the past by watching 10 Things I Hate About You with Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik. It was marvelous.

In the film, Bianca's pretty in pink prom dress -- or prom crop top with a hot pink tulle skirt, as it should be called -- is way too chic to ignore. The separate pieces give it a relaxed feel, but the satin & tulle show some glamour. I simply couldn't resist recreating the iconic look. We all love Kat, but this post is about Bianca. Get the look with Bianca's prom dress from 10 Things I Hate About You!
There are two vital items to start off your iconic look. The first thing you need is a shiny, bright pink crop top or metallic cropped tank top. It doesn't have to be too cropped just enough to show a sliver of skin. The next thing is a somewhat long pink tulle skirt! You can even go for a floor-length pink tulle skirt. You will look like a lovely pink ballerina. These two make a whimsical, vintage-inspired pair. Once you find these key items the rest is up to you. You can even wear a slip dress under if you can't find the right shirt. There are many dresses that you can go with!

Not a skirt person? Try it with a pink pair of pants or trousers. You can even add pants with the tulle.
Possible items you can use to recreate Bianca's 10 Things I Hate About You prom dress:
- Hot pink tulle skirt - Find it on Amazon
- Floor-length pink skirt - Find it on Amazon
- Women's Ruffle Short Sleeve Tie Up Off Shoulder Blouse - Find it on Amazon
- Sleeveless pink metallic cropped tank - Find it on Amazon
- Rhinestone Butterfly Choker Necklaces Glitter Pink - Find it on Amazon
- Chunky silver pumps - Find them on Amazon
Bianca and Kat are sisters. Each one dresses differently with their unique style. During the prom scene in 10 Things I Hate About You with Julia Stiles & Heath Ledger, Bianca holds a unique satin pink bag. It's hard to find something quite like it so I did my best to search for an alternative. All you need is a bold pink coin purse that's small enough to hold your essentials but not large enough to hide the world.
Accessorize your prom look with a dainty & sweet necklace of your choice. You might as well go with a retro '90s-looking choker necklace. If you have a genuine necklace from the 1990s, that's even better, but not all of us are so lucky as to have those lying around. The stretchy chokers are very cheap & easy to find these days.

The last thing you'll need to complete Bianca's iconic prom dress look is a pair of cute strappy heels. You'll only need a darling pair to last long enough to capture for the photos. By the time you start dancing, you'll probably take them off after a couple of songs. That's how it normally goes at dances. I can vouch for that because dancing in high heels is no easy feat. This 10 Things I Hate About You prom dress could even be used as a Halloween costume or worn to your next event.
Why the Dress Still Resonates with People of All Ages
If you’ve seen 10 Things I Hate About You even once, you probably remember Bianca Stratford’s prom dress. It’s impossible not to. The two-piece outfit—a shiny pink crop top paired with a full, frothy tulle skirt—was the perfect mix of playful, flirty, and totally late-’90s. Costume designer Kim Tillman nailed Bianca’s whole vibe in one look: girly without being stuffy, trendy without being over the top.
It also set her apart from her sister Kat, whose minimalist slip dress reflected a moodier, more rebellious personality. That contrast was intentional—it told you everything about these sisters before they even opened their mouths. The dress didn’t just fit Bianca’s style; it was her style, translated into prom form.
Looking back now, Bianca’s outfit feels like a time capsule of 1999 fashion in the best way possible. The combination of a crop top, tutu-style skirt, and teeny-tiny shoulder bag was peak teen-movie glam. It wasn’t about being “practical”—it was about looking adorable, twirling around the dance floor, and making an entrance you’d remember for years. And honestly? It worked.
Decades later, Bianca’s prom look is still ranked alongside Pretty in Pink’s pink pouf and Mean Girls’ bedazzled crown moment as one of the most iconic movie prom outfits ever. Fans still gush about it online and call it the movie dress of all time—and with the ‘90s and Y2K trends back in rotation, you could totally rock a modern version today without it feeling like a costume.
If you want to channel Bianca for your own big night (or even just a fun party), you don’t need an exact replica. Start with a bright, satin or metallic crop top—bonus points if it’s bubblegum pink or fuchsia. Then add a tulle skirt with as much volume as your heart desires, from mini to floor-length.
Keep accessories sweet and simple: a dainty clutch, ballet flats or strappy heels, and maybe a pearl necklace for that extra touch of prom-night charm. The magic of Bianca’s look is that it’s youthful, confident, and a little bit unexpected—perfect for making your own unforgettable entrance.
What do you think of this 10 Things I Hate About You outfit inspired by Bianca's prom dress? Which is your favorite piece? Have you seen the film? Who is your favorite character? :]

Halloween is nearing & you're looking for some Halloween costume ideas. Duh duh duh dunnn. I'm here to help! Today I have a Wednesday Addams (from The Addams Family) inspired look for you to rock. Sport this as an everyday outfit -- if you're bold -- or try this on for size as a Halloween costume idea for women or girls.
First things first, to achieve the look you'll need to braid your hair in the classic Wednesday Addams fashion. That was easy. Now you'll need to master your wardrobe. A collared dress is the only way to go.

Grab yourself some skeleton tights. They're so festive & definitely a conversation starter. My Halloween costume version of Wednesday Adams would wear these because she's cool, she's different, she's a little bit morbid, & doesn't mind standing out from the crowd. I would combine this look with combat boots. It's a little bit Wednesday, a little bit me. Feminine, yet spunky.
Accessorize this Addams Family Halloween costume idea with a bracelet pack. Autumn is the best time to rock dark berry lips. I love the the deep shade, the rich pigmentation as well as the immense sparkle.
Would you ever go as Wednesday Addams? Do you have any Halloween plans yet? I don't. Shhh. :]

Halloween Costume Idea: Cher Horowitz from Clueless
As most of you likely know Clueless is one of my all-time favorite films everrrr. That said, it would make sense to feature Clueless's main character, Cher Horowitz, as a Halloween costume idea for women. I dug through some stills from the movie & created a hybrid outfit to emulate her style.
To start off this look, you're going to layer a white sleeveless top or turtleneck & a lacy black tank. There is leeway with the white shirt -- in the film, she wears a basic white tee & in my costume, it's a sleeveless turtleneck. You can do whatever makes sense for you, it's mainly about the black and white aesthetic.
Next, we definitely want some sort of yellow plaid to mimic one of Cher's most notable looks: her black & yellow plaid ensemble. This plaid yellow skirt is a great way to keep your Halloween costume modern. We don't have to be so literal when dressing up like a character. :]

Lastly, we want some cute silver heels paired with some knee-high or thigh high socks. Once again, there is freedom with your socks. Throughout the film, most characters wear knee socks at some time or another. The color is up to you. To accessorize the look, get a small transparent clutch to hold your necessary items like your ID, cell phone, & credit card. Now you're ready to be totally clueless.
This Halloween costume idea based on Clueless's Cher Horowitz is actually pretty simple to achieve & you'll look super awesome while wearing it. Clueless is a timeless film & Cher is the perfect person to be if you're out of Halloween costume ideas this year. As if!
Stay tuned for more Halloween costume ideas for women! Stay cool. Stay positive. Stay updated. What do you think of this costume idea? Would you ever be Cher? :]
