Before there was Carrie Bradshaw, there was Cher Horowitz, the misguided matchmaker cum fashionista of her Beverly Hills high school. She's Paris Hilton with a heart (and a brain), and her closet was the envy of every 16-year-old girl in 1995. We're campaigning to bring back Cher's killer style for 2009 -- but how? That's where our fashion expert Brian comes in, with some tips on pulling it off. Brian says: Luckily, Cher's style wasn't quite as dated as some of her mid-'90s contemporaries (no flannel shirts here). Her look was upscale prep. Think Gucci meets the Gap. Cher rocked the sexy schoolgirl look way before Britney -- and with much better hair.

Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) endeared herself to fashionistas everywhere when she pleaded, "You don't understand; this is an Alaia!" while held at gunpoint and forced to ruin her frock from, like, a totally important designer (so many quotables from this movie -- be warned: I'm going to go there many times over). Clueless still holds up today as not just a modern classic, but also as a time capsule for mid-90's fashion: plaid skirts, embellished jackets and cardigans, high-heeled Mary Janes, knee-highs/thigh-highs, and demure headbands. Craving a style trip down memory lane but don't want to look like you've just stepped out of a Seventeen spread from 15 years ago (Ugh, as if!)? Take a look at the slideshow for a few basics from Cher, Dionne, and the gang's looks updated for today's way existential shopper.
