Matching leopard sets, a Kokin hat, vinyl and neon, short skirts and a 1950s handbag.
Mona May dressed Clueless and drew a clear line between the two friends: "She was more risqué, so we did shorter skirts. She had the leopard, the neon, the vinyl, and the '50s purses." The hats came from a specific source — "I met this designer named Kokin through a friend. He's a milliner from New York City, and I loved his hats, because I myself wear a lot of hats."
Top and bottom in the same print. Half-matching reads as an accident.

Wear a hat. Genuinely — it's the single most Dionne thing available, and a structured bucket, boater or floppy hat changes an outfit more than any other accessory. Match the set. Top and bottom in the same print or colour, cropped and short. Half-matching reads as an accident rather than a decision. Leopard is a base, not an accent. So is neon. May used both at full volume and toning them down loses the character. And add one shiny texture — vinyl, patent, satin. Nineties texture is what dates it correctly, more than the shapes do.
Cher's fearless twin channel: matching leopard sets, vinyl minis, structured hats and hoops that mean it. Coordinated chaos, executed perfectly.
Same philosophy (matching is power), louder execution — more print, more texture, the hat. If Cher argues the outfit, Dionne wins it.
Toning it down. The hat feels like a lot because it is — that's why it works.
