With her virtual wardrobe and a trademark look, Cher Horowitz was a 90s fashion icon and shopping icon and now, Alicia Silverstone is reprising her most iconic role for the Rakuten Big Game campaign. Not So Clueless is a 30-second spot from the leading shopping platform and it puts a modern twist on the classic film from 1995.
This short spot is set to be shown during the first quarter of the Super Bowl and fans will delight in seeing Cher in a reimagined version of her classic yellow plaid suit by award-winning CFDA designer Christian Siriano.
The fun-spirited campaign is full of nostalgia as it reimagines the famous debate class scene, this time on the subject of "why everyone should shop Rakuten for the greatest savings."
