Jesse Jo In Paris

In the realm of fashion in entertainment, one film reigns supreme in capturing the hearts of style enthusiasts: Clueless. The outfits of Cher Horowitz, which were resourcefully assembled by Mona May, have made their mark in film history.

The most memorable character in Clueless is the costume design. —This Vogue article.

Clueless, though, was released in 1995, and personal circumstances may have delayed your encounter with that cinematic gem. In my case, no one in my household had a VHS copy of the film, so I didn’t have the opportunity to watch it until I was well into my teenage years, on the cusp of adulthood. Instead, I bring you the wardrobe design in another film that holds great significance for me: Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Lola Steppe was my Cher Horowitz. Not necessarily for the ensembles themselves, but for the risks she took in how she put each piece together. The costume and wardrobe department for Confessions was led by Pauline Chung.
