Alicia Silverstone Just Resurrected Cher Horowitz for Lip Sync Battle

Cher Horowitz is back. Four years after Iggy Azalea cosplayed as Alicia Silverstone‘s character in Clueless for her “Fancy” music video, Silverstone’s returning the favor. The American Woman actress appears on this week’s episode of Lip Sync Battle, and she performs—you guessed it—”Fancy.” And not just that: She wears Cher’s classic yellow plaid outfit—the one Azalea wears in the “Fancy” video—in the performance. So, essentially, Silverstone is tributing Azalea’s tribute to her. Meta!

The fateful homage-within-a-homage will air this Thursday’s on Lip Sync Battle, where Silverstone goes head to head with her American Woman co-star, Mena Suvari. According to a press release, the battle immediately follows an episode of American Woman on Paramount Network.

In the preview clip, below, Silverstone walks down a set of makeshift stairs while mouthing the opening to Azalea’s “Fancy.” Her back-up dancers are all made up as era-appropriate extras from Clueless, too. One dancer even dressed as Cher’s best friend, Dionne, in her equally-famous blue plaid skirt suit and straw top hat.

The crowd, of course, eats it all up, as does Lip Sync Battle‘s co-host, Chrissy Teigen. “Modern-day Cher,” she says in the clip. “This is amazing. I had no idea how badly I needed to see that. Again!” (Same.)

We got a sneak peek of Teigen’s fangirling last October, when the episode was actually filmed. At the time, the Lip Sync Battle host and Twitter sage tweeted a photo of herself and her daughter, Luna, posing with Silverstone. “How am I supposed to sleep?” she wrote in the caption. “I think I’ve asked for 2 photos in my entire life. @AliciaSilv and beyonce.”

Given how long we’ve been waiting for this pop cultural milestone to happen, it’d better knock our knee socks off. Based on Teigen’s reaction, though, it seems like it’ll be everything we hoped for, and then some.

Lip Sync Battle returns this Thursday, June 14 at 10:30 P.M. ET on Paramount Network.

Chrissy Teigen Just Fangirled Hard Over Meeting Alicia Silverstone

Chrissy Teigen doesn’t really seem like the type to get starstruck: On social media, she comes off as super chill (unless she’s gushing about adorable Luna). But even someone as famous as she is isn’t immune to totally buggin’, as a recent moment with Alicia Silverstone proved. The actress, who starred as Cher Horowitz in a li’l ’90s movie called Clueless that you have most definitely heard of, met Teigen recently, and photo proof posted by a sleepless Teigen early Sunday morning is pretty much as close as we’ll ever come to seeing her freak out.

Even her caption on the photo, which was posted on Twitter, undermines the level of fangirling that was going on: “How am I supposed to sleep? I think I’ve asked for 2 photos in my entire life. @AliciaSilv and beyonce.” Which, wow, that’s a lot of restraint—but I guess when you’re Teigen, it’s completely normal to casually hang out with A-listers.

What makes the whole thing way more amazing is that Silverstone was dressed in her Cher outfit from Clueless. You know the one: the yellow plaid pleated miniskirt and blazer, topped off by white knee socks and white Mary Janes. It was a ’90s cultural icon come to life joining forces with a ’10s social media mogul—and we are so here for this meeting of the decades. Also Luna! Hi, Luna! Your cheeks are adorable.

So why the Cher costume? It turns out that Silverstone was taping an upcoming episode of Lip Sync Battle. Will she sing “Fancy,” Iggy Azela’s 2014 classic that recreated Clueless in its music video? Or maybe “Rollin’ With the Homies?” Who knows, but one thing’s for sure: This was definitely one of 2017’s greatest pop culture moments.
