True or False: Cher Has a Computer Program to Match Her Outfits
In the 90s, Cher was a fashion icon. Her love of plaid suits, bright colors, and ultra-feminine clothing created a very distinct 90s aesthetic for the movie, which helped establish the movie's focus and depiction of 90s teen culture. Cher may have had boy troubles, conflicts with her friends, and even academic issues, but she never had a fashion emergency or failure. Besides her genuine fashion intuition, she had a little help to match and narrow her outfit choices. She had a full inventory of all her clothing, which we saw at the start of Clueless. This method of picking outfits showed how technologically advance Cher was for the era.
What does Cher’s Father Do for a Living?
Cher’s father is the most important person in her life. Not only is he her caregiver, but he’s one of her biggest role models. In the opening scenes of Clueless, Cher gloats about her father’s ability to strike fear in the heart of many, including their household maid. Cher’s father also plays a major part in Josh’s life. He is one of the reasons why Josh hangs around the Horowitz household so much: he likes to get mentorship from Mr. Horowitz. At one part in the film, Cher mentions that her father is so good at his job that he can charge as much as $500 an hour. One of the critical moments of Clueless involves Cher and Josh trying to help her father complete some paperwork for his job, but Cher’s filing system causes a major meltdown from one of Mr. Horowitz’s employees.
What is the Name of Cher’s Maid?
Cher’s maid is seen in the background of various scenes set in the Horowitz’s house. In the opening of the movie, Cher mentions her maid’s name, and that she’s terrified of Mr. Horowitz. Cher’s shallow treatment of the maid (e.g. mistaking her home of origin) shows kind of how clueless Cher is about the world and others. This helps propel her to being a little more considerate of those around her, and all of the world in general. But, this new ¬self-awareness comes less from the incident with the Horowitz’s housekeeper and more to do with Cher not wanting Josh to see her as insensitive and careless.
What is Josh’s Connection to Cher?
Josh and Cher are a beloved romantic comedy pairing. These polar opposites won fans over with their natural chemistry and charming nature.
