The ’90s are calling.

Outfit 1: Cher’s Alaïa Dress and Peplum Jacket from the Val Party

1. Costume designer Mona May made Cher’s evening jacket with the ostrich feather accents. Hard to find these days, but you could pick up this baby for a steal and accent it yourself,
2. with this feather collar,
3. and these feather cuffs.
4. Don’t forget your Motorola Startac flip phone.
5. Luckily, you don’t have to hit up Alaïa for a chic red dress with a square neckline,
6. or Jimmy Choo for the red Mary Janes.

Outfit 2: Amber’s Psychotic Sailor/Stewardess Ensemble

1. Respectable double breasted red blazer;
2. Black and white striped tee;
3. You’re already halfway there, just put on the red sailor hat.
4. Remind ’em you’re a rich bi$h with this rhinestone dollar sign brooch.
5. Really hammer home the theme with this silver anchor necklace.

Outfit 3: Dionne’s Red Velvet Perfection with White Collar and Cuffs

1. Dionne’s tri-clasp purse is so ridiculously cute. Pick up this three-kisslock handbag yourself and do this look right.
2. Cranberry velvet dress; Mona May didn’t find a dress with the existing white accents or make Stacy Dash wear a rumply shirt under this thing — she attached the collar and cuffs herself. So that’s what you’ll do,
3. using this dickie with a long, sharp collar,
4. and these detachable French cuffs.
5. Classic black patent Mary Janes;
6. Crisp white over-the-knee socks;
7. Dionne does not wear polyester hair. Only high-end extensions for this fashionista.

Outfit 4: Tai’s Perky Pink Grunge Outfit from the College Party

1. Feel free to cut-off and patch up your existing denim overalls, or just nab these appliqued shorteralls.
2. As Tai proves, there are a million things you can do with a semi-sheer button-down shirt.
3. Comfy long-sleeved pink star shirt;
4. Don’t immediately fall down the stairs in these silver iridescent combat boots.
5. Remember to set off your spunky curls with a big, blue bow.

Outfit 5: Cher’s Soul-Searching Oversized Sheer Blouse Look

1. Silver lamé mini-backpack;
2. Sheer white knee-high trouser socks;
3. The longest sheer white shirttail blouse the internet currently has to offer;
4. Black and white argyle mini-skirt;
5. Silver patent block heel Mary Janes;
6. Crop this metallic silver sweater vest yourself with a little DiY ingenuity.
7. And don’t even think about wandering L.A. contemplating your romantic future without your trusty Motorola pager.
