The costume designer behind the enduring outfits featured in 1995's Clueless has created a modern-day, Cher Horowitz-approved closet to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary.
A limited-time, blush-hued Clueless suite at the L'Ermitage Beverly Hills in California, United States boasts a walk-in closet complete with a Cher-worthy wardrobe curated from Bloomingdale's by costume designer Mona May, according to the hotel.
A stay in the suite – which features fun details like fuzzy pens, a Polaroid camera and Clueless -themed turn-down treats – also comes with a US$100 (RM425) gift card to spend at Bloomingdale's, a VIP in-store styling appointment, a Dior Beauty makeup session or spa session, and access to a white Jeep Wrangler convertible to cruise around Beverly Hills just like Cher.
The suite has a walk-in closet complete with a Cher-worthy wardrobe curated by Mona May.
Through Sept 1, the suite can be booked starting at US$1,995 (RM8,489) per night. Guests are given a free membership to Fitted, the official virtual Clueless closet app of the movie's anniversary campaign.
'It's just bright and happy as Cher would love it,' Mona May told The Hollywood Reporter of the closet she filled with designer pieces.
'The moment you walk in there you are transformed into the world of Clueless .'
The room has a neon sign that reads, 'Carpe Diem, okay?', which is one of the many memorable quotes from the movie.
While some of the items in the updated wardrobe might not be completely in line with Cher's aesthetic – Birkenstocks and bucket hats? As if! – other items seem to be direct nods to the film's classic costuming, including a bright red fringe frock that signals to the Alaia dress Cher wore during a hold-up in the Valley.
Amy Heckerling's loose adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma stars Alicia Silverstone as fashionista 'virgin who can't drive' Cher. Stacey Dash plays her best friend Dionne, Paul Rudd is the ex-stepbrother Josh, and the late Brittany Murphy played new student Tai.
Together, they try to find their footing as teens and young adults.
Speaking to the Daily News in 2020, Heckerling said she was 'overwhelmed with how people are always posting different lines' from the beloved film even 25 years later. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
