My Take
Alicia Silverstone is one of those people who defined a whole aesthetic of the '90s without even trying that hard, and I genuinely think she doesn't get enough credit for it. The Aerosmith videos made her a teen icon overnight, but then she turned around and gave us Cher in Clueless — effortlessly funny, weirdly wise, and so quotable it still holds up decades later. Winning the MTV Best Villain award for The Crush at just 17 is a fun wrinkle a lot of people forget; the girl had range early. Beyond the nostalgia, what I respect is that she leaned fully into her convictions — the veganism, the animal rights work, The Kind Life platform — at a time when Hollywood wasn't exactly rewarding actresses for having opinions. She's not chasing a comeback; she's just being herself, and honestly that's the most Cher thing she could do.
