When time came to shoot the video, the pair teased fans with a few not-so-subtle hints of what they had planned, referring to each other on Twitter as Cher and Dionne — the main characters from the 1995 comedy classic Clueless.
The video, released this morning, is a shot-for-shot remake of the film. Iggy and Charli re-enact some of the original flick’s most memorable and quotable scenes, from the hyper-colourful opening credits:
