When California resident Emily Ratajkowski showed up in New York yesterday, she brought a hint of the West Coast with her in a look that was made famous by the ultimate (albeit fictitious) Beverly Hills fashion plate: Cher Horowitz in Clueless. Ratajkowski wore a plaid crop top and coordinating trousers in orange plaid that recalled the Dolce Gabbana yellow suiting the lead character wears in the beginning of the cult 1995 movie. The takeaway? Matchy-matchy dressing is still fit for a total Betty.
Ratajkowski’s midriff-baring statement would have felt right at home in the halls of Bronson Alcott High School, but she made the look her own by carrying a cute structured lady bag in place of Cher’s omnipresent miniature backpack. The marigold hue of her handbag, a style she co-designed with The Kooples, felt surprisingly intentional next to her highlighter-bright separates, while optic-white boots in a pointed silhouette lent further contrast. Retro smoke-toned cat-eye sunglasses provided a sunny California-girl finish Cher would no doubt approve of.
