Clueless and the Fashion of Cher Horowitz

Few 1990s films are as closely tied to clothing as Clueless. As Cher Horowitz, Silverstone played a popular girl whose days revolve around matchmaking, helping friends with fashion choices and advising the new girl at school on a makeover — fashion is not decoration in the film, it is part of the plot. That is a large part of why Silverstone remains a fashion celebrity long after the film's 1995 release: the character's wardrobe became a reference point for an era of teen style, and the film itself is a parody of Jane Austen's Emma retold through a Beverly Hills wardrobe.

From Teen Idol to Batgirl

Silverstone's route to Clueless ran through The Crush, which earned her the 1994 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, and three Aerosmith music videos that made her a teen idol. Clueless earned her a multi-million-dollar deal with Columbia, and she went on to play Batgirl in the big-budget 1997 film Batman & Robin — another role defined in part by a famous costume.

The term glamour was originally meant to be; a spell cast over someone, particularly to change how things appeared to them. The primary modern meaning of the word relates to fascination, charisma, beauty, or attraction.  Celebrities are often referenced as glamorous.  In addition to celebs being glamorous, regular every day people, or their lifestyles, can be described as glamorous.  Although many words which end in "our" in British English are spelled with "or" in American English, "glamour" is an exception with the "u" usually being retained.  This may be due to its original being Scottish rather than French or Latin.  The alternative spelling "glamour" is sometimes used in American English, but not as frequently.  Also, Glamour in modern day is occasionally abbreviated as simply Glam.
