Alicia Silverstone says she will not mess with Clueless reboot's legacy: ‘Do our very best to honor the original movie'
'We will do our very best to honor the original movie that we love and also bring something new to it. That's the goal, and I believe we will execute that goal,' she added.
The project, currently in early development, will not only have Alicia reprise her role but also see her serve as executive producer. And while it's still too soon to know exactly what to expect, she already has a vision for where Cher is today. 'I can't wait to step back into Cher's skin and her fancy designer shoes that will be gently used, of course, duh, because she's evolved. This is 2025, she's not wearing the new stuff unless it's sustainable or vegan. We'll have to see how far we can go with that,' she said.
Announced in April, the reboot is being written and executive produced by Gossip Girl and The OC creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, alongside Dollface creator Jordan Weiss. The original film's writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence are also attached as executive producers.
Released in 1995, Clueless loosely reimagined Jane Austen's Emma as the story of a stylish, wealthy Beverly Hills teen navigating high school with wit, confidence and an iconic wardrobe. Starring alongside Alica were Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer and Dan Hedaya. Nearly 30 years later, Alicia's careful approach signals that while the reboot may bring something new, it won't lose the charm that made the original a classic.

6 iconic moments when celebrities wore the infamous ‘naked dress'
Over the years, the naked dress has gone from shocking to iconic. Whether it's made of sheer fabric, covered in crystals, or just barely-there, this daring style has been worn by celebrities who aren't afraid to make a statement. While the naked dress might not be for everyone, it's clear that it's more than just a red carpet look. It's a symbol of confidence, freedom, and sometimes even rebellion. Whether it's 1962 or 2023, these iconic moments remind us that fashion is, above all else, personal—and powerful. Let's take a look at some unforgettable times when stars completely owned the red carpet in their version of the naked dress. This one really set the tone. Marilyn's now-legendary dress—so tight it had to be sewn onto her—was practically invisible except for the sparkle. She wore it while singing to President John F Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, and the world hasn't stopped talking about it since. So much so that Kim Kardashian wore the dress to the Met Gala once, walking the red carpet with the-then boyfriend Pete Davidson. A post shared by Council of Fashion Designers of America (@cfda) Rihanna doesn't just follow fashion trends, she defines them. Her sheer Adam Selman gown was covered in over 230,000 Swarovski crystals, and absolutely nothing underneath. She looked stunning, confident, and completely unbothered. When it comes to pushing boundaries, Cher has always been a step ahead. Her 1974 Bob Mackie creation at the Met Gala was sheer, bedazzled, and unforgettable. Then in 1988, she wore another version to the Oscars—glamorous, glittery, and pure Cher. What can we say? She knows how to leave a mark. Rose made a statement. And how, That chainmail-style dress (or… lack of one) turned heads and started conversations. She later revealed it was her way of pushing back against the exploitative nature of the industry. Love it or hate it, you remember it—and that's kind of the point. Arriving fashionably late, Beyoncé showed up in a sparkling, sheer Givenchy number that left the internet gasping. The dress fit her like a glove and was covered in carefully placed embellishments. It was one of those moments where no one else really mattered on that red carpet. Malaika Arora（@malaikaaroraofficial）分享的貼文 And yes, the naked dress trend has made waves in Bollywood too. Malaika Arora stunned at a Diwali party hosted by Manish Malhotra, wearing a crystal-embellished sheer gown that Indian fashion circles couldn't stop talking about. It was bold for a traditional setting, but that's exactly what made it unforgettable. 'India's answer to the Hollywood naked dress,' said many netizens at the time, and we couldn't agree more.

Alicia Silverstone says she will not mess with Clueless reboot's legacy: ‘Do our very best to honor the original movie'
Hollywood actor Alicia Silverstone is treading carefully with the Clueless reboot. The actor, who will return as Cher Horowitz more than three decades after first stepping into the role, admits she initially stayed away from the idea altogether.

Alicia Silverstone will return as Cher in Clueless' reboot 'We will do our very best to honor the original movie that we love and also bring something new to it.

The real reason behind Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz's early vow renewal — obviously Victoria Beckham is to blame!
It may have been a vow renewal ceremony on the astronomical Peltz estate in Westchester, New York, but for all practical purposes, it was a whole another second wedding for Brooklyn Beckham and wifey Nicola Peltz Beckham. The hot sauce connoisseur, 26, and the actor, 30, said all but I do to each other surrounded by family — of course only Nicola's. Victoria Beckham is the reason behind Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renewing their wedding vows just 3 years into marriage — and not in a good way(Photos: Instagram, X) If you've been living under a rock, footballing legend David Beckham, 50, and voice of fashion Victoria Beckham, 51, have been at very publicly voiced odds with their first-born Brooklyn, the sentiments definitely being stronger from Beckham Jr.'s side. A huge part of this, as per multiple media reports, has been Nicola and Victoria not getting along very well. While Nicola initially tried to play the dutiful daughter-in-law marking her presence along side Brooklyn and the OG Beckhams for several high profile events, her appearances started waning as did her hubby's. Now while most thought the Victoria-Nicola undercurrent was fairly fresh, new reports brought to light how the mother of the groom had apparently hijacked the couple's first dance at the wedding, bringing the bride to tears. And incidentally, this is supposedly the reason Brooklyn and Nicola essentially re-did their wedding (sans his parents) last weekend. Entertainment Tonight quoted a source as telling them, "Nicola was thrilled to marry Brooklyn, but because their wedding didn't go the way she imagined due to family drama, their vow renewal was important". Not just this, the report also suggests that Nicola reportedly wanted to wear a Victoria Beckham design for the vow renewal (something she had apparently refused to do for the actual wedding) but was told: 'the atelier said it wasn't possible.', and so she went with her mother Claudia Heffner Peltz's wedding dress. Brooklyn and Nicola first met in 2017 at Coachella, though at the time, both were in separate relationships. They reconnected at a Halloween party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio and started dating soon after. They got engaged within a year, in 2020, eventually tying the knot on April 9, 2022. And now, they have just renewed their commitment to each other, a mere 3 years into their marriage. Which Beckham do you find yourself siding with in this very obvious family feud?
