The Closet App That Finally Lets You Get Dressed Like Cher Horowitz in 'Clueless'
In 1995, Clueless gave us a glimpse of fashion's future—a digital closet that could magically pick an outfit for you to wear with just a few taps and swipes. Fast-forward to 2025, and somehow...we're still rifling through wrinkled piles of 'nothing to wear.' Well, that chapter of our lives is finally coming to an end, thanks to Alta. The AI-powered closet app, founded by Jenny Wang, is bringing our Cher Horowitz-inspired dreams to life (minus the wardrobe meltdowns).
Alta makes it incredibly easy to create a digital archive of your wardrobe, complete with outfit-planning tools. You can upload your own photos or pull images straight from the internet to build a catalog of every item you own—and no need to worry if you happen to stumble upon some bad lighting: Alta automatically enhances your photos, so even your most lived-in tee looks fit to appear in fashion magazine. Even better? You can tag items you've worn already—perfect for weeding out those pieces that never see the light of day. With the cost-per-wear feature, you can see which pieces are earning their keep and which deserve a second chance on The RealReal or Depop.
But it's not just about the clothes. Add in your go-to lipsticks, signature scents, and beauty must-haves to plan complete looks, down to the final swipe of gloss. And the capabilities go beyond simply archiving everything. Backed by the CFDA, Alta is like having your own personal stylist on speed dial—one trained by real industry pros like Meredith Koop (yes, Michelle Obama's stylist). That means less frantic shopping and more thoughtful styling.
One of Alta's smartest features? The digital avatar. With a few taps, you can style outfits on your own virtual body and test out how new pieces might pair with what you already own. Think of it as your fashion-savvy, judgment-free twin. All you have to do is download Alta in Apple's App Store or on Google Play to start curating looks—and make sure every purchase earns a spot on your wear-it-again list.

32 Vibe-y Products You'll End Up Loving Long-Term
A funny and relatable needlepoint throw pillow because everything you do is for the plot, and everyone should know that. A darling two-piece linen set comprised of a one-shoulder crop top and paper bag-waist shorts that might just give you "total Greece vibes." Honestly, you'll probably like it so much that you'll get it in another color. I just don't see a world where you're not absolutely obsessed with this outfit. A darling lil' llama-shaped stress ball for those days when your boss asks you to convert a doc into a PDF even though you've shown Sharon how to do it a million and one times. Just squish and squeeze the llama to feel a little convert the doc. A nostalgia-inducing composition book MacBook cover — this hard shell protector will probably make you feel like it's time to write a five-paragraph essay in Mrs. Lowell's class every single time you open your laptop to write a five-paragraph email at your big-kid job. A cute lil' guided breathing tool because you can't seem to relax when it's time for bed (that thing you did in third grade just keeps replaying in your mind). Breathe along to the fade-in/fade-out color prompts that simulate the popular 4/7/8, 5/5, and 4/4/4/4 breathing techniques. Let all your stress melt away. This "breathing partner" is also great for kids! A mini metal sword bookmark that'll keep your majesty (that's you) from losing your place in the romance novel you're reading right now. It's got fun tassels that'll stick out of your book. So go ahead and knight this book for its dedicated service to your majesty's (once again, that's you) entertainment. A wind-up cat-on-a-vac toy sure to entertain you for longer than you'll wanna admit. You'll also get a mini illustrated book containing cleaning and organizing tips — let cat-on-a-vac inspire you to tidy up a little! Or an actual (OK, well not "actual") kitty cat-a-pult if you believe these furry creatures were brought to earth to be superheroes, but are just missing the ever-essential power of flight. Equipped with capes tied around their necks, this trio of cats is ready for their first mission! A ceramic Stranger Things-inspired mug because you're still not over a certain Dungeon Master's death, and being able to toast to his bravery and sick guitar skills every morning with a hot cup of coffee might make the mourning process a little easier. A silicone suction phone case mount so you can slap your phone to a wall, press record, and get your Influencer™ on! This can be especially useful if you don't have the desk or floor space (or, honestly, if you just don't have the energy) to set up an inevitably wonky tripod. Can't wait to see your next GRWM TikTok! Rage Page: A Journal for the Bad Days — feel like you've got enough anger inside your body that you could use it to fuel a small city? This guided journal is filled with prompts, rage meters and mood trackers, and it also doubles as a coloring book! So get all your negative feels out, and then — on the opposite page — finish journaling by focusing on the positives. Because apparently there's always a silver lining, or whatever. A pack of six mini storage crates if you have shelving space that can be optimized (and cute-ified). These colorful and collapsible crates are perfect for keeping your tchotchkes and baubles organized. Or, I guess you could use them for more "practical" things like stationery, craft supplies, beauty products, and blah blah blah. But what about filling them with useless trinkets?! A pack of four Crocs-shaped car air fresheners because the actual Crocs on your actual feet make your Subaru smell quite funky. These colorful and charming fresheners come with 12 scent pads (four lavender, four fern, and four unscented) and can be clipped to your car's air vent!

Each box contains bandages of three different sizes so you can perfectly adorn your wounds. A stylish and roomy weekender bag that's almost identical to the Beis version, but for waaaay less (like, "less than half the price" less). This cutie patootie has a ventilated shoe compartment on the bottom as well as a PVC-lined "wet pocket" so you can separate your damp bikini or sweaty post-workout 'fit from your clean and dry clothes. And to make matters BETTER, it's also got a built-in USB port so you can charge your phone while on the go! A pack of eight spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags, because as cute as it is to go out and spend upwards of $20 on just one at home in your coziest loungewear is also a really ~intoxicating~ idea. All you have to do is let it steep for three minutes in a combination of water and spirits (I'd obvi go with tequila here), and your fave summery drink is good to go! A dimmable sad duck night-light who is just oh so relatable. He just needs to lie down real quick forever. This night-light has a 30-minute timer so you don't have to get up and turn it off before falling asleep. A whimsically cutesy and insulated corduroy lunch bag if you're not necessarily a Mean Girl, but all of your coworkers tend to show up the next day wearing what you wore yesterday. And if you're committed to wearing pink on Wednesdays, there's this darling lunch bag covered in strawberries. Oh, you little trendsetter! A set of eight adorable mason jar shot glasses that'll give your next pre-game session a fun, yeehaw kind of vibe. They even come with little lids so you can take your lemon drop shot with you to the next party location! A lil' Stanley tape measurer keychain because you maaaay have been measuring furniture by stretching your arms out wide and making an incredibly (in)accurate mental note of their size. Honey, there's simply an easier way. It's this convenient guy. A pair of perfectly pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones with super soft ear cushions and a padded headband for optimal comfort, as well as a built-in mic to take calls. There's a decent chance you'll forget all about the AirPods Max you've been trying (and failing) to save up for when you have these affordable alternatives blasting your fave tunes in your ears! A drop test-certified Casetify iPhone case if you just splurged on the iPhone 16 Pro and don't want it to end up like your last several iPhones (read: scratched and cracked) that now live in the great scrapyard in the sky. Plus, there are so many prints, it'll be nearly impossible NOT to find one that fits your style. And if your style changes every other week, I'd recommend getting several just in ~iPhone case~. A silicone red crab utensil rest that can sit on the edge of your pots and pans while you cook. It'll do the heavy lifting of holding a spoon when it's not in use. A waterproof shower phone holder, because you've got TikToks to watch, and needing to wash your hair shouldn't get in the way of that. This dual-layered anti-fog phone holder offers 360 degrees of protection because your phone is your life and should be treated as such. A set of pastel glitter highlighters to add a little sparkle to your notes and to-do lists! These fun metallic highlighters might just make getting through your To Be Read pile a little more fun. A *checks notes* garlic bread-scented candle you might not wanna light when you're hungry. Made with beeswax, goats' milk, herbs, and farm-grown garlic, this candle is the perfect (inedible) treat! A mini pool table for cats that actually acts as a scratching post. If your kitty is a bit of a pool shark, you might not wanna tempt them with such a fun toy. It also comes with two feather teaser pool sticks and six colorful felt balls. A Lego flower bouquet building kit if you're too much of a liability when it comes to living plants. These gorgeous and immortal flowers are not only fun to put together, but they're a fun decoration all year long. A "Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help you mince a little for your homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take a few seconds! A super handy mini answer wheel for when there's no one around to help you decide whether or not to take a nap break. Just spin this wheel and if it lands on "sounds great," well, you have your answer. A retro Victrola Bluetooth record player that is waaaay more modern than it seems. It can play vinyl records (obvi), CDs (hey, elder millennials), cassettes (good day, Gen X'ers), AM/FM radio, and music from your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine's archive
Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine — sort of. The X owner announced over the weekend that the company discovered the video archive for the popular short-form video app, thought to have been deleted, and is working to restore user access. Vine — something of a precursor to today's TikTok, but with only six-second-long looping videos — was acquired by Twitter back in October 2012 for $30 million to expand the social media platform's video ambitions. Unfortunately for Vine creators and fans, the company fumbled the app's potential and decided to shut down Vine in 2016 by limiting all new uploads. The following year, it was fully discontinued, though a user archive remained for a time. Despite no longer having an App Store presence, Vine still has a place in the internet's collective cultural consciousness. Through online compilations of the best Vines uploaded to YouTube, and through the careers of numerous creators who got their start on Vine, the company lives on to some extent, and its content continues to be discovered by new generations. Musk himself seemed interested in bringing back Vine after acquiring Twitter in October 2022. In a poll posted on the social media app, he asked Twitter's users, 'Bring back Vine?' to which nearly 70% responded 'yes.' Axios reported at the time that Twitter had devoted some engineers to working on the Vine reboot, but nothing ever came of it. It's unclear whether Musk has any ambitions for Vine beyond getting its archive back online, however. In the same post about restoring Vine, he also touted that Grok's new video-creation feature, Grok Imagine, also available to X Premium+ subscribers, is 'AI Vine.' That suggests that his interests in video creation no longer lie with human creativity, but in human-directed AI prompting. Whether or not Musk will actually deliver on the promise remains to be seen, as the X post could have just been another way to draw attention to Grok AI, rather than being representative of a real effort inside the company to make old Vines available for reposting.

Anya Taylor-Joy Models This Summer's Must-Have Accessory Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN: Take it from Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner, and now Anya Taylor-Joy—silk scarves are the hottest accessory of the season. While many have been sporting the item as a belt, as seen on Lola Tung in New York City earlier in July, Taylor-Joy took the trend one step further, twisting and tying three different scarves three separate ways at the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Furiosa actress wrapped a pleated green scarf over her head, allowing her pigtail braids to poke through. With her Dior sunglasses and a cherry-red lip, Taylor-Joy channeled the classic Old Hollywood archetype of a glamorous movie star riding in a convertible down the Italian coastline—an appropriate image for the Formula 1 race. Taylor-Joy also sported a cream lace-trimmed scarf tied around her shoulders, which perfectly complemented her tailored Cinq à Sept shorts, white tank top, and Sam Edelman Mary Janes. To cap it all off, she completed the look with a silk scarf bag by Farm Rio, officially cementing the silk scarf as an easy-yet-dynamic styling tool. The actress was in attendance alongside her husband, Malcolm McRae, who wore his usual uniform of a button-down and slacks. The two were spotted visiting the Ferrari garage and F1 paddock during the qualification session for the Grand Prix. Inside, Taylor-Joy easily popped headphones over her green scarf. She has long been a fan of the Ferrari team, attending numerous races to show her support, and always dressing for the occasion.
