Actress Alicia Silverstone on October 9, 2017 in Hollywood, California. Amanda Edwards—WireImage by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Oct 23, 2017 5:21 PM UTC When Alicia Silverstone raided Cher Horowitz’s closet for her appearance on _Lip Sync Battle_, she probably had no idea that she would—to borrow a phrase from _Clueless—_have Chrissy Teigen “totally buggin’.” Turns out that [Teigen](http://time.com/4947946/chrissy-teigen-trolls-john-legend/) is a huge fan of _Clueless_ and even though she is a celebrity who attends [the Oscars](http://time.com/4684411/oscars-2017-chrissy-teigen-sleeping-john-legend/) and the Grammys and is frequently surrounded by mega-stars, including her husband [John Legend](http://motto.time.com/4685341/chrissy-teigen-teases-john-legend-oscars-2017/), she couldn’t help but ask Silverstone to take a photo with her. Luckily Silverstone didn’t brush off the request (as if!) with a sassy, “This is California, not Kentucky” and agreed to take a photo with the _Lip Sync Battle_ co-host. [Teigen](http://time.com/4872442/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-blocked-twitter/) posted a photo on Twitter over the weekend of Silverstone, dressed in her character’s iconic yellow plaid outfit, alongside Teigen and her daughter, Luna. “How am I supposed to sleep? I think I’ve asked for 2 photos in my entire life. @AliciaSilv and Beyoncé,” Teigen wrote in the photo’s caption, proving her excellent taste in fandom. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/921962629270093830) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4993270/chrissy-teigen-alicia-silverstone-clueless/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4993270/chrissy-teigen-alicia-silverstone-clueless/"},"headline":"No One Is As Totally Buggin' That Cher Brought Clueless Back Than Chrissy Teigen","datePublished":"2017-10-23T17:21:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:12.831Z","description":"Chrissy Teigen begged for a photo with the Clueless star","url":"https://time.com/4993270/chrissy-teigen-alicia-silverstone-clueless/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Chrissy Teigen","lip sync battle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44b63c9728bb160d/6988e2faab6d779fc96b051a/gettyimages-859934522.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44b63c9728bb160d/6988e2faab6d779fc96b051a/gettyimages-859934522.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of National Geographic Documentary Films' \"Jane\" - Arrivals","caption":"Premiere Of National Geographic Documentary Films' \"Jane\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Amanda Edwards—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4993270/chrissy-teigen-alicia-silverstone-clueless/","name":"No One Is As Totally Buggin' That Cher Brought Clueless Back Than Chrissy Teigen"}}]}] ```
