5 Times K-Pop Idols Rocked The Iconic Yellow Plaid Look Inspired By “Clueless”

We’d never say “As if” to these looks!

The classic 90’s film Clueless was considered a cultural reset by many. It coined many popular phrases like “As If” and continues to inspire fashion trends 25 years later.

K-Pop has frequently found outfit inspiration in Hollywood cinema and the preppy looks of Clueless‘s Cher Horowitz have proven quite popular. Here are 5 times K-Pop idols sported looks inspired by Cher’s yellow plaid.

A special project put together by SM Entertainment‘s SM Station, this 90’s R&B inspired track saw a powerhouse combination of ChunghaGFriend‘s SinB(G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon, and Red Velvet‘s Seulgi.

In that MV the girls had a recognizable uniform that was an almost pitch perfect replica of Cher’s costume from Clueless down to the yellow sweater vest. Member Gowon even had her hair dyed a similar shade of blonde.

While the full yellow plaid look might be a bit loud for some, the girls of LOONA Yyxy not only pulled it off but made it look just as good as the original movie did.
