The Closet App That Finally Lets You Get Dressed Like Cher Horowitz in 'Clueless'
In 1995, Clueless gave us a glimpse of fashion's future—a digital closet that could magically pick an outfit for you to wear with just a few taps and swipes. Fast-forward to 2025, and somehow...we're still rifling through wrinkled piles of 'nothing to wear.' Well, that chapter of our lives is finally coming to an end, thanks to Alta. The AI-powered closet app, founded by Jenny Wang, is bringing our Cher Horowitz-inspired dreams to life (minus the wardrobe meltdowns).
Alta makes it incredibly easy to create a digital archive of your wardrobe, complete with outfit-planning tools. You can upload your own photos or pull images straight from the internet to build a catalog of every item you own—and no need to worry if you happen to stumble upon some bad lighting: Alta automatically enhances your photos, so even your most lived-in tee looks fit to appear in fashion magazine. Even better? You can tag items you've worn already—perfect for weeding out those pieces that never see the light of day. With the cost-per-wear feature, you can see which pieces are earning their keep and which deserve a second chance on The RealReal or Depop.
But it's not just about the clothes. Add in your go-to lipsticks, signature scents, and beauty must-haves to plan complete looks, down to the final swipe of gloss. And the capabilities go beyond simply archiving everything. Backed by the CFDA, Alta is like having your own personal stylist on speed dial—one trained by real industry pros like Meredith Koop (yes, Michelle Obama's stylist). That means less frantic shopping and more thoughtful styling.
One of Alta's smartest features? The digital avatar. With a few taps, you can style outfits on your own virtual body and test out how new pieces might pair with what you already own. Think of it as your fashion-savvy, judgment-free twin. All you have to do is download Alta in Apple's App Store or on Google Play to start curating looks—and make sure every purchase earns a spot on your wear-it-again list.

Anya Taylor-Joy Models This Summer's Must-Have Accessory Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN: Take it from Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner, and now Anya Taylor-Joy—silk scarves are the hottest accessory of the season. While many have been sporting the item as a belt, as seen on Lola Tung in New York City earlier in July, Taylor-Joy took the trend one step further, twisting and tying three different scarves three separate ways at the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Furiosa actress wrapped a pleated green scarf over her head, allowing her pigtail braids to poke through. With her Dior sunglasses and a cherry-red lip, Taylor-Joy channeled the classic Old Hollywood archetype of a glamorous movie star riding in a convertible down the Italian coastline—an appropriate image for the Formula 1 race. Taylor-Joy also sported a cream lace-trimmed scarf tied around her shoulders, which perfectly complemented her tailored Cinq à Sept shorts, white tank top, and Sam Edelman Mary Janes. To cap it all off, she completed the look with a silk scarf bag by Farm Rio, officially cementing the silk scarf as an easy-yet-dynamic styling tool. The actress was in attendance alongside her husband, Malcolm McRae, who wore his usual uniform of a button-down and slacks. The two were spotted visiting the Ferrari garage and F1 paddock during the qualification session for the Grand Prix. Inside, Taylor-Joy easily popped headphones over her green scarf. She has long been a fan of the Ferrari team, attending numerous races to show her support, and always dressing for the occasion.

Phillies closer Jhoan Durán's entrance still has legs
Every superhero has a calling card — and Durantula's viral entrance has crawled its way to Philly. Why it matters: Citizens Bank Park was already one of baseball's most fearsome places to play, and now it's more dangerous for opponents when the lights cut off for Jhoan Durán 's intimidating intro. The big picture: When the Phillies acquired one of baseball's best closers, they also got the game's best choreographed entrance — which the Minnesota Twins had perfected to match Durán's imposing nickname: Durantula, per The Athletic. Durán debuted his trademark trot-in wearing a Phillies jersey over the weekend, and Citizens Bank gave it a very Philly spin. How it works: The Liberty Bell-inspired Undertaker bell — borrowed from the WWE wrestler — tolls as the lights cut off at the Bank. Then a custom mashup of "El Incomprendido" by Farruko and "Hot" by Pitbull and Daddy Yankee fills the stadium speaker. Durán trots out while his flame-embossed name and a giant tarantula crawl across the stadium's LED screen and fans raise their camera-phone flashlights. What they're saying: The Twins communications department spent more than 500 hours creating the entrance. They never hesitated about sharing it with the Phillies when Durán was traded. "It's the right thing to do," Minnesota's vice president of communications Dustin Morse told The Athletic. "This is for the greater good of baseball fans."

These "Porsche" Backpacks are An AI-Generated Oddity
AliExpress sellers come up with all sorts of wild ideas to advertise products on the site, but the rise of AI has given them some serious firepower. Several have gone off the deep end with the technologies, but this recent Porsche-inspired trend is legitimately weird. Backpacks shaped like the rear of a Porsche 911 have begun showing up on the site, using AI-generated model images and a wild design. We're talking about AliExpress here, so your mind likely went to cheap plastic fidget spinners and other tchotchkes, but these backpacks are far from cheap. One, brought to our attention by The Drive is called "2024 Personality Creative Casual Fashion Luxury Style Backpack School Bag Male Girlfriend Birthday Gift," and sports a $200 price tag. Oh, and that doesn't include more than $100 in shipping. Despite looking kind of like a Porsche and sporting the brand name in the product listing, these are almost certainly not from the German automaker. Porsche needs a bit of help climbing out of its recent sales difficulties, but a $200 backpack ain't it. Even if they're fake, they're kind of cool, and some even come equipped with a spoiler, not that we could pull that off. Interestingly, AliExpress is not rife with backpacks wearing other brand names. Copyrights and patents aside, we can't actually tell if the packs are functional. Some similar product listings show "real" images of the backpacks, but there's no way to tell how well they'd function in the real world. The reviews are equally as unhelpful, with most listing star ratings without a written review attached. Looking at the shape, it's hard to imagine any of the Porsche backpacks being very functional. They look huge, which would make it hard to ride public transit or board a plane, and the white color will become dingy after a few uses. That said, what other backpack comes with a spoiler and a dual exhaust system? Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
