Harry Styles’s Clueless-Inspired Grammys Outfit Got Alicia Silverstone’s Seal of Approval

Other than perhaps the red Alaïa dress Cher wears to the party in the Valley, the yellow skirt suit has got to be the most recognizable ’fit from Clueless. It’s the one she puts together via computer in the opening sequence, and it sets the tone for her bold and confident aesthetic. With its eye-catching style, the movie inspired a fashion-based computer game, not to mention a spin-off TV show and, possibly, an upcoming mystery reboot. 

Costume designer Mona May revealed to Vogue that the iconic ensemble was actually “off the rack.” She elaborated, “We really wanted to do the plaid because it was the quintessential schoolgirl outfit. When I was shopping, I had some other suits from the mall and different stores. I had a blue one and a red one. The blue didn’t have the oomph. The red felt too risqué—it didn’t feel like Cher. I wasn’t sure about the yellow. It’s not a great color for blondes. But when Alicia put that on, we all went, ‘Oh my God, this is it.’ She looks like a ray of sun and the queen of school.”

Well, if that’s what Styles was going for, he certainly succeeded. Every other celebrity in attendance seemed to be crushing on him, which is why we crowned him the unofficial king of the evening. Just like Cher, he’s Mr. Popularity.
