Director Amy Heckerling’s cult 1995 chick flick Clueless has inspired plenty of costume-party attire. But, the fact remains that the preppy style of lead characters Cher Horowitz, her best pal Dionne, and high school newcomer Tai needn’t be limited to themed occasions.
Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman paid tribute to the classic at the press junket for Thor: Love and Thunder. Before appearing on the red carpet, wearing Louis Vuitton and Dior respectively, the costars channeled Dionne and Cher.

Portman sported Cher’s signature yellow-and-black plaid separates, comprising a skirt and jacket from Dior. Rather than wearing knee-high white socks and heels as seen in the film, she completed her look with Doc Marten boots. Thompson assumed the role of Dionne and wore a puffball skirt and a white shirt layered beneath a black top, with black tights and patent slingbacks.
The schoolgirlish outfits were a far cry from the head-turning looks that both women have recently brought to the red carpet. Tessa Thompson has found a flair for futuristic gowns while on the press tours for Westworld and Thor: Love and Thunder. She’s wowed in sci-fi metallic Armani Privé, body-melting Interior NYC, and avant-garde pieces from Puppets & Puppets. Natalie Portman, on the other hand, has experimented with red looks from Dior and Magda Butrym, plus scaly sequins by Celine. It’s clear that they each know their fashion strengths.
