The Iggy Azalea 'Fancy' video has been absolutely blowing up online as of late, particularly because Azalea has styled her latest music video to almost be a shot-for-shot remake of the 90s [cult movie Clueless](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1).

In the video, Azalea dons [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie) jumpers, Betsey Johnson robes, Alexander Wang bras and Calvin Klein t-shirts that hit Cher's style spot on. To get dressed, instead of a computer, Azalea scrolls through the options in her closet via a modern tablet. However, the rest of the music video looks like it came right out of the 90s. The production was so extensive, it even involved clothing 250 extras and all of the filming actually took place in the school Clueless was originally shot.

One of the best looks from the video is when Azalea wears a [yellow-plaid skirt and blazer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydude-x-mean-girls), which makes her look almost identical to Cher.
