Clueless came out in 1995 and was directed by Amy Heckerling. It followed a wealthy high schooler navigating life and relationships in Beverly Hills.

Alicia Silverstone’s character, Cher, set a standard for confidence and charm. Her makeover scenes popularized transformation stories and influenced future films. The movie’s slang, including phrases like “as if,” entered everyday speech and stayed relevant for years. Its mix of humor and style made it a timeless teen classic.
