    Stacy and Clinton Break Down the '80s Fashion of Fast Times at Ridgemont High

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly head back to 1982 with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, breaking down the very real high school fashion that helped define the era. From Jeff Spicoli's short shorts, layered Izod shirts, checkered Vans, Baja hoodies, and vintage tapestry jacket to the preppy looks, denim, bandanas, and lingering '70s influence seen throughout Ridgemont High, they explore what teenagers were actually wearing before the excess of the '80s fully took over. They also compare the deliberately different styles of Jennifer Jason Leigh's Stacy and Phoebe Cates' Linda, revisit the Pat Benatar-inspired girls roaming the halls, and admire Mike Damone's surprisingly stylish short shorts and windbreaker. And, of course, they return to Phoebe Cates' unforgettable red bikini — a movie moment that became a pop-culture phenomenon. Then Stacy and Clinton turn their attention to one of the movie's most underrated fashion stories: the truly outrageous service-industry uniforms of the early '80s. From Perry's Pizza's candy-striper-inspired aprons and Brad Hamilton's humiliating pirate uniform, they play a round of "Would You Rather?"  Along the way, they talk mall culture, Stacy's Pat Benatar phase, Clinton's singing-waiter days, the return of short shorts, why '80s movies look very different through a modern lens, and which decades of fashion they'd happily bring back.   Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Break Down the Wild Style of Overboard

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly dive into the gloriously excessive fashion of Overboard, starting with Goldie Hawn's unforgettable yacht wardrobe. From enormous nautical shoulders and diamond brooches in her hair to ultra-high-cut swimsuits, black-and-white prints, silver lamé robes, and perfectly coordinated accessories, Joanna's early looks are pure 1987 extravagance.   They also obsess over Katherine Helmond's wildly maximalist Edith Mintz, whose wardrobe includes huge shoulders, dramatic collars, gold lamé, fascinators, and even matching accessories for her dog, Shiitake. Once Joanna loses her memory, the fashion shifts dramatically into softer hair, minimal makeup, chambray shirts, and a much more relaxed suburban look - giving Stacy and Clinton plenty to discuss about how costume helps track her changing identity.   Along the way, they debate velvet on a yacht, the practicality of extremely high-cut bathing suits, diamond brooches as hair accessories, spray-tan disasters from the What Not to Wear days, and whether Overboard might be one of the most perfectly costumed comedies of the '80s.   Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Rank Cher's 10 Best Movie Looks

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly celebrate Cher with a countdown of their ten favorite movie looks from across her career. From the stripped-down khakis and gray sweatshirt of Silkwood to the wine-colored beret and overcoat of Suspect, they look at how Cher can make even the simplest costume feel unmistakably like her.   The countdown moves through the bedazzled showgirl glamour of Burlesque, the pearls, hats, fur, and exaggerated brows of Tea with Mussolini, and two memorable looks from Mermaids - including a pink polka-dot dress and an impossibly chic black-and-white cropped-pant look. Along the way, Stacy and Clinton talk about why certain colors, proportions, hats, and silhouettes work so perfectly on Cher.   The top of the list belongs to some of Cher's most memorable film fashion, including her relaxed artist wardrobe and dramatic evening looks in The Witches of Eastwick, plus an iconic Moonstruck moment that proves even a walk of shame can look impossibly glamorous when Cher is doing it.   Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Break Down the Campy Glamour of Mommie Dearest

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly take on the glorious excess of Mommie Dearest, breaking down some of Faye Dunaway's most unforgettable looks as Joan Crawford. From silk robes and diamond buckles to sculpted shoulders, custom gloves, enormous brooches, and perfectly coordinated interiors, they explore how the film's lavish costume design helped recreate Crawford's carefully constructed movie-star image.   They revisit the matching mother-daughter florals, Joan's impeccably tailored ivory daywear, the legendary "bring me the axe" scene, and a silver sequin gown with architectural shoulders that Stacy thinks could still work on a red carpet today. Along the way, they debate "Crawford Red" lipstick, matching parent-child outfits, impractical gardening clothes, custom gloves, and why the 1940s and 1980s shared such a love of strong shoulders.   The movie may be remembered for its camp, but Stacy and Clinton make the case that the costumes, hair, makeup, jewelry, and set design were taken very seriously - and are a huge part of why Mommie Dearest remains so visually unforgettable.     Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/   Find out more @  ALL CHEWED UP Channel → https://www.allchewedup.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Ask: Is Cher Horowitz Really a Fashion Icon?

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly finally take on Clueless with special guest Bransen Gates  - and ask the question that might get them in trouble: does Cher Horowitz really deserve fashion icon status? Together, they revisit some of the movie's most memorable looks and put Cher head-to-head with Dionne, Amber, and even Branson himself to see whose style actually holds up best.   They start with what Clinton considers Cher's best look in the entire movie: a sheer blouse layered over a white tank with a high-waisted trouser and loafer that feels surprisingly current. From there, they tackle the legendary yellow plaid school look, Dionne's coordinating patent accessories and statement hat, '90s brown lipstick, knee-high socks, cropped cardigans, faux fur, animal prints, and the movie's constant battle between polished minimalism and more adventurous personal style.   As the matchups continue, Dionne repeatedly steals the spotlight with bolder styling, more range, and the confidence to make every outfit feel completely her own. They also revisit Tai's famous makeover and - after hosting more makeovers than they can count - Stacy and Clinton admit they are a little underwhelmed by the final reveal. They love the joy and confidence behind the transformation, but by What Not to Wear standards, "a top and a skirt" simply would not have been enough.   Then it's party time. Cher's famous red mini dress goes up against Dionne's floral top, coordinating braided ribbons, and voluminous satin skirt, while Cher's minimalist Calvin Klein club dress faces Amber's tiara, bow, unitard, and frilly skirt. The verdict keeps coming back to the same idea: Cher always looks beautiful and sophisticated, but the other girls often bring more visual interest and a stronger sense of personal style.   Our guest today:   Bransen Gates   @branhattan Check out his show: "And they were roommates" on youtube.com/@atwrtheseries      Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/   Find out more @  ALL CHEWED UP Channel → https://www.allchewedup.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Break Down the Iconic Style of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly finally take on the 1953 classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and break down the unforgettable wardrobes of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. From perfectly fitted black sheaths, leopard scarves, gloves, brooches, muffs, dramatic hats, and crisscross necklines to Jane Russell's bold red tailoring and Asian-inspired headwear, they explore the extraordinary level of thought that went into every accessory, silhouette, and styling decision. They also dissect Jane's black halter look surrounded by a suspiciously coordinated group of scantily clad Olympic athletes, marvel at the styling trick of threading a necklace through a crisscross neckline, and obsess over Marilyn's technically brilliant lilac ensemble. Clinton gets especially detailed about the construction of the knit top, including the nearly invisible ladder stitching and the way the cuffs, belt, and waistband all work together to create an incredibly polished result. Not every famous look escapes criticism. Stacy and Clinton agree that Marilyn's orange evening gown is not one of her most flattering moments, questioning the color, fit, beading, and unfortunate ruching around the "crotchal region." But when it comes time for "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," there is no debate: the pink satin gown, matching gloves, oversized bow, hidden slit, costume diamonds, and now-iconic hair and makeup remain one of the most recognizable fashion moments in movie history. Along the way, they discuss Marilyn's transformation from Norma Jeane into an enduring Hollywood persona, Jane Russell's commanding screen presence, the brutality of the old studio system, fishnet-covered dancers, women used as chandeliers, and whether gentlemen really do prefer blondes. Their final takeaway is simple: whatever you think of the plot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes endures because its costumes are art.     Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/   Find out more @  ALL CHEWED UP Channel → https://www.allchewedup.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Celebrate Catherine O'Hara's Most Iconic Looks

    In this special episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly celebrate the incomparable Catherine O'Hara with a retrospective of some of their favorite looks from across her career. Rather than ranking them, they each choose three memorable fashion moments that capture her range, humor, beauty, and extraordinary ability to completely transform herself for a character.   They revisit Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice, praising the cinnamon-red hair, immaculate red lip, sculpted brows, winged eyeliner, black mini skirt, and statement earrings that helped make Catherine look simultaneously artistic, severe, and impossibly glamorous. They also return to her wildly different Moira Rose looks from Schitt's Creek, including an all-white ensemble with sculptural hair, gold gloves, religious-iconography-inspired accessories, and the unforgettable pink-champagne red carpet gown from The Crows Have Eyes 3.   Stacy and Clinton also spotlight Catherine's effortlessly cool 1980s New York look in Martin Scorsese's After Hours, complete with double belts, rubber bracelets, a black mini skirt, whistle, tights, and perfectly imperfect blonde hair, as well as Cookie Fleck's gloriously budget-conscious cocktail attire in Best in Show. Finally, they admire her late-career power dressing in The Studio, where rich rust, peach, and gold tones, high-waisted tailoring, dark nails, sunglasses, and brushed-gold jewelry give her the presence of a Hollywood lioness.   More than anything, the episode is a tribute to Catherine O'Hara's ability to disappear into a role while making every character visually unforgettable. From Delia Deetz to Moira Rose, Cookie Fleck, Gail, and beyond, Stacy and Clinton reflect on the joy she brought to audiences and why they feel lucky to have lived in the same lifetime as her.     Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/   Find out more @  ALL CHEWED UP Channel → https://www.allchewedup.com/

    Stacy and Clinton Break Down the Unhinged Style of Body Double

    In this episode of Why'd They Wear That?, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly revisit Brian De Palma's 1984 thriller Body Double and break down its most outrageous fashion moments across 10 increasingly unhinged scenes. What Stacy remembered as a complicated, psychosexual mystery turns out to be an exploitative, wildly entertaining fever dream involving a struggling actor, a futuristic Hollywood house, a telescope, a nightly lingerie dance, a murder plot, and more questionable male fantasy than either of them was prepared to revisit.   They examine Sam Bouchard's all-polyester acting-class ensemble, Gloria Revelle's rhinestone thong and transparent robe, her polished Beverly Hills shopping look, and the baffling decision to buy new underwear, change into it immediately, and throw the old pair away. They also unpack the movie's signature mid-1980s glamour, including silk jacquard, cinched waists, gold eye shadow, aviators, scarves, vertical blinds, padded shoulders, leopard print, metallic bodysuits, and bags hanging from impossibly thin straps.   When Melanie Griffith finally arrives as adult-film star Holly Body, Stacy and Clinton turn their attention to the movie's leather-filled club scene, assless unitards, studded suspenders, dramatic coats, ear cuffs, pencil skirts, vinyl pants, and one of the longest and least convincing audition sequences ever filmed. Along the way, they question the movie's misogyny, laugh through its supposedly serious thriller scenes, perform Holly's memorable contract monologue, and try to determine whether any of the film's sexual staging is anatomically possible.   Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Why'd They Wear That?: A pop-culture and fashion commentary show where Stacy London and Clinton Kelly break down the on-screen looks that sparked trends, started debates and occasionally made audiences ask, "Why'd They Wear THAT?" → https://www.whydtheywearthat.com/   Find out more @  ALL CHEWED UP Channel → https://www.allchewedup.com/
