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:

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? :]

The Plastics from Mean Girls Costume Ideas

I've watched Mean Girls about 1,001 times but never thought about dressing as one of the Plastics for Halloween....until now! Mean Girls is a cult classic. That goes without saying, even though I just said it. But how can you achieve an authentic costume? Well, I've got the basics covered for you with this fab Mean Girls & the Plastics-inspired Halloween costume idea. In case you were wondering, the Plastics are a group of popular meanies consisting of Regina, Gretchen, Karen, & Cady from the film Mean Girls. 

You'll need a pink sweater or pink shirt. This cropped pink sweater or long sleeve shirt ought to do the trick. After all "we wear pink on Wednesdays," remember? Don't forget to wear pink otherwise you can't sit with us. Why not pair your pink sweater with a denim skirt? They were extremely popular in the early 2000s along with sling-back kitten heels which are worn throughout the film. Put all 3 together & you've got yourself a very 2000s look. Mean Girls came out in April 2004, so there's a lot of potential

What you'll need for this Mean Girls costume:

Halloween Costume Idea: The Plastics from Mean Girls costume


To accessorize your Mean Girls costume for Halloween, you can add a bow or brooch to your pink sweater as Karen wears in a couple of the stills from the film. I recommend a small strappy bag because that's what they wore back then. Most of the purses throughout the film are simple in style, compact, & have just a little strap.
