FAMED for its outlandish 90s designer clobber and memorable catchphrases, Clueless remains one of the most iconic chick flicks of all time.
While it’s been a staggering 28 years since it hit cinemas in 1995, the film shows no sign of losing its popularity.
Clueless came out in 1995 and was known for the characters’ iconic Nineties outfits
Alicia Silverstone posted a video of herself this week, recreating one of her most iconic scenes from the film
The film’s leading lady Alicia Silverstone, now 46, recently paid tribute to the flick, sharing a video of herself wearing her legendary yellow plaid Dolce and Gabbana suit to Instagram.
Alicia played Bronson Alcott High School queen bee Cher Horowitz, who had a walk-in wardrobe full of designer outfits to die for and a flash open top white Jeep – despite being a notoriously bad driver.
While she was admittedly spoilt and a stereotypical ‘popular girl’, her heart was always in the right place.
Speaking to Vogue to mark the movie’s 25-year anniversary, Alicia said: “I found Cher on the page to be materialistic and unappealing. And really annoying, to be honest.
Alicia played Cher – the spoilt but loveable lead character
“But I realised that was just me judging her. Once I started working on her I found all the heart and all the love.”
Alicia went on to land a whole host of film and TV roles, playing Batgirl in 1997’s Batman & Robin and starring in TV series Miss Match, which gained her a Golden Globe nomination.
In 2011 she wrote her own vegan cookbook called The Kind Diet, and she has posed naked for animal rights group Peta to campaign against animal cruelty.
The star shares son Blue Bear, 11, with musician ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, who she started dating in 1997 and split from in 2018 after nearly 13 years of marriage.
She has raised eyebrows with her parenting methods in the past – revealing in 2012 she “bird fed” infant Bear, chewing food in her own mouth before giving it to him to eat.
In 2014 she sparked furious controversy when she revealed she is anti-vaccination and relies on a vegan diet to keep her son healthy, claiming he’s “never been sick”.
And last year during an appearance on The Ellen Fisher Podcast, she said she still sleeps in the same bed as her 11-year-old.
Here we take a look at how the rest of the cast have fared since the film’s release and where they are now…
Stacey Dash – Dionne Davenport
Stacey played Dionne, lead character Cher’s best friend
Stacey, now 56, was actually 28 when she played high schooler Dionne, but has barely aged in the years since.
Her first cousin is Damon Dash, the former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records, and she starred in Kanye’s “All Falls Down” video in 2004.
The actress posed naked for Playboy in 2006, and became a Fox News contributor from 2014 to 2017, and once planned to run for office.
She has received huge backlash for some very controversial views over the years, including suggesting Black History Month should be cancelled, and making anti-trans remarks.
After the Oscar nominations were widely criticised for their lack of diversity, Stacey spoke out on Fox News, claiming it was “ludicrous” that people of colour were upset.
She then left the 2016 Oscars audience cringing and baffled when she entered the stage and sarcastically announced “I can’t wait to help my people out. Happy Black History Month!”
In 2019 Stacey was arrested on a domestic battery charge, after allegedly slapping her husband in the face – a charge she denied and was later dropped.
Two years later the mum-of-two opened up about her battle with prescription painkillers which saw her at one point taking up to 20 pills a day.
She revealed she first tried drugs when she was eight years old, and when she was 16, her mother gave her her first line of cocaine.
Brittany Murphy – Tai Frasier
Tragically, Brittany had a promising career ahead of her, but passed away in 2009
Brittany played ‘tragically unhip’ school newbie Tai, who Cher and Dionne take under their wing.
They give her that all important teen rom-com makeover, and at one point when she falls out with Cher, utters the savage put-down ‘You’re a virgin, who can’t drive’.
Following this breakthrough role, it seemed like the sky was the limit for Brittany, who went on to star in films including 8 Mile, Just Married and Girl, Interrupted.
However, in December 2009 aged just 32, she tragically passed away. Mystery surrounds the circumstances as her life unravelled in the months leading up to her death.
According to the coroner’s report, Brittany died of pneumonia with contributing factors of iron deficiency anaemia and multiple drug intoxication.
Her husband Simon Monjack – whom she’d married in 2007 – died six months later, again of pneumonia and anaemia.
Paul Rudd – Josh Lucas
Paul Rudd has barely aged in the decades since starring in Clueless
Paul played Cher’s ex-stepbrother Josh Lucas, who she regards as a complete nerd before realising she is actually in love with him.
Since then Paul’s career has soared and the 53-year-old is arguably still one of today’s biggest names in Hollywood – in fact, he was voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2021.
He went on to star in Friends as Phoebe’s husband Mike, but it was his roles in Anchorman, Knocked Up and I Love You Man that made him one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars, earning him an estimated $70m.
He has been married to screenwriter wife Julie Yaeger since 2003, with whom he shares two kids.
Paul stars in the much anticipated Marvel film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, out later this month.
Donald Faison – Murray Duvall
Donald went on to become best known for his role in Scrubs
Following Clueless, Donald’s biggest role was starring alongside Zach Braff as Turk on Scrubs for nearly a decade.
Donald has been married twice – first to Lisa Askey, with whom he had three children, Dade, Kobe and Kaya, but they divorced in 2005 after for four years. Tragically Lisa died suddenly in 2017.
The 41-year-old has been married to Jessica Simpson’s best friend Cacee Cobb since 2012, and the pair have two children.
Donald has six children in total, including son Shawn, whose mum is his ex-girlfriend Audrey Ince.
Elisa Donovan – Amber Mariens
Amber was Cher’s frenemy and rival
Elisa played Amber, who rival Cher referred to as being “like a Monet” because “from far away, it’s okay, but up close it’s a big old mess”.
The actress, now 51, went on to star in TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 and a number of teen favourites including the 1996-1999 TV series of Clueless and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
In 2021 she wrote a memoir about losing her job, her relationship, and her father to cancer, all over a very short period of time.
That year she also revealed she had been “suffering greatly from anorexia” while filming Clueless and “had been in denial about it”.
She said she “almost had a heart attack” during three days off from shooting, and subsequently decided to seek medical help.
Jeremy Sisto – Elton Tiscia
Jeremy played arrogant Elton, who struggles to understand why Cher won’t date him
Elton was the obnoxious, arrogant rich kid who inadvertently leaves Cher to fend for herself when she gets held at gun point at a gas station.
The role was played by Jeremy, now 48, who went on to star in TV shows including Six Feet Under, Law and Order, Suburgatory and FBI.
He shares daughter Charlie, 13, and son Bastian, 10, with wife Addie Lane.
Jeremy revealed in 2021 that one of his daughter’s friends refuses to call him anything but Elton.
Breckin Meyer – Travis Birkenstock
Breckin owns his own production company
Breckin, now 48, played Tai’s love interest and the skateboarding stoner, Travis Birkenstock – who was always late for class.
Since then the actor has starred in a string of hits, including Road Trip and Garfield, and he is also a drummer.
He started his own production company with showbiz pals Ryan Phillippe and Seth Green, and was nominated for an Emmy for his writing on Robot Chicken.
Breckin was married to screenwriter Deborah Kaplan for 13 years and they share a daughter.
Dan Hedaya – Melvin Horowitz
Dan Hedaya played Cher’s dad
Cher’s tough-talking lawyer father was played by Dan Hedaya, now 82.
The star was already a big name before Clueless, starring in shows including Cheers, spin-off The Tortellis and Miami Vice.
He continues to work in film, most recently starring in American drama film The God Committee in 2021.
He is married to fashion model Lauren Tom and they have three children.
Justin Walker – Christian Stovitz
Justin quit the spotlight a few years later to open a restaurant
Justin played Cher’s love interest Christian, who attracted her with his smooth moves and excellent fashion sense – before the penny dropped and she realised he was gay.
Justin turned his back on acting a few year later and instead opted for a career change, opening a restaurant called Teddy Teadle’s Grill in California.
Twink Caplan – Miss Toby Geist
Miss Geist was seen as a lonely spinster by her pupils
Twink played Cher’s loveable, lipstick-wearing teacher Miss Geist, who the teen takes it upon herself to find love.
Now 75, Twink was also a producer on the film, and reprised her role in the TV series version of the show.
She has also had parts in Look Who’s Talking, A Night at the Roxbury, and in 2010 she played the role of a dance teacher in sitcom Community.
Th 1995 film was a huge hit, and provided breakthrough roles for many of the cast
Materialistic Cher had a real passion for fashion and designer accessories – but also had a heart of gold
