May 29 - May 31, 2026 AS IF!: The Costumes of Mona May Series | ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION, THE WEDDING SINGER, CLUELESS, THE HOUSE BUNNY, A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY
ABOUT THE SERIES: Break out the plaid and break in the purple clogs because the American Cinematheque is welcoming a true icon of style on screen. Legendary costume designer Mona May joins us in-person to discuss the revolutionary clothing of CLUELESS followed by a lineup of films that feel like a fashion show. May is one of Hollywood’s hardest working costume designers, bringing not only her fashion sense, but her keen instinct for character to each wardrobe change- actually 60 wardrobe changes in 97 minutes if you’re Cher Horowitz. With the smash success of CLUELESS under her belt, May continued to hone her signature joie de vivre approach, from the jewel tone suits in A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY and THE WEDDING SINGER to the dresses Y2K dreams are made of in ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION to the iconic makeover scene that even makes a back brace look fun in THE HOUSE BUNNY.
