‘Clueless’ Inspired Kim Kardashian to Buy This Priceless Monet

Kim Kardashian says Clueless, her favourite film, resonated with her teenage life in Beverly Hills and inspired her to buy a Monet painting. The connection is part of an excerpt from Jonathan Van Meter’s book Citizen Kim, which links the film’s setting and details to Kardashian’s family and memories.

Released in 1995, Clueless follows wealthy schoolgirl Cher Horowitz, whose world includes Beverly Hills shopping, a large home and an interest in her father’s legal work. Kardashian recalled owning similar clothes and shopping at Contempo Casuals; the excerpt also notes parallels between the film and her life as her family became prominent during the O.J. Simpson trial. It introduces how the film led to the Monet ending up on her bathroom wall.
