Alicia Silverstone turned heads at the January 11, 2026 Golden Globes, channeling her Clueless character Cher Horowitz in a red gown that sparked instant nostalgia.
Red Carpet Revival
Silverstone arrived as part of the Bugonia cast wearing a strapless, floor-length crimson creation by Nicole + Felicia Couture. The form-fitting design hugged her curves and paired with Simon G. jewelry, drawing immediate comparisons to the cherry-red Alaïa mini-dress she wore in the 1995 teen classic.
That earlier look became legendary when Cher, alone on a Los Angeles street at night, is mugged and frantically insists, “It’s an Alaïa!” while defending her designer choice.
Where Did Cher’s Closet Go?
In an October interview with News Of Losangeles, Silverstone revealed she no longer owns any clothing from the film.
“Before I did Clueless, I really was a T-shirt and jeans kind of girl,” she told Jonathan P. Miller. “I wasn’t too into fashion at all.”
After production wrapped, the actress passed the entire wardrobe to director-screenwriter Gia Coppola, granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola.
“I ended up giving all the clothes away because I realized it was not working in my life,” Silverstone said. “I gave them all away stupidly.”
The trail ends there. Silverstone says even Gia doesn’t know the garments’ current location: “Lord only knows what Gia’s done with them. Gia doesn’t know where they are either, so she must have given them away, too. They all just are gone.”
Attempting Cher Style IRL
Silverstone once tried adopting her character’s high-fashion wardrobe off-screen.
“After I did [Clueless] I thought, ‘Oh, I want to have all these clothes, I’m going to wear these clothes.’ Which was a delusional idea because I was not like that girl,” she admitted. “Who’s wearing Mary Janes and high stockings everywhere you go?”
The experiment ended quickly, proving life rarely imitates 1990s teen cinema.
Social Media Erupts
Within minutes of Silverstone’s Globes photos hitting the internet, comment sections filled with side-by-side shots of her 1995 and 2026 red dresses. Fans praised how little the actress has changed in three decades, many using the term “timeless.”
