- The question is called the toughest of the pod; the yellow plaid is disqualified as iconic, and the gym class outfit is a pick, the skinny tank over a t-shirt that many people, the host included, tried at junior high dances without the same effect.
- Further nominations: the red velour dress that Amber then copies ('rips off'), with the 'fashion victim or ensemble challenged' and 'Hey, Ambular' lines; the blue Oxford shirt with a brown sweater vest and headband; the cardigan and t-shirt at dinner with her dad and Ty before the Val party, where Cher's dinner line about breaking in her purple clogs prompts the question of whether the audience ever gets to see them, which the hosts would like to; a host notes they would like that advice in 2017.
- One host's ultimate choice is the short leather skirt with white blouse Cher wears when her report card first comes in and she brings food to her dad; she looks incredible, few could wear a leather skirt casually, and the host bought one after the film without success; the hosts wonder if everything people copied from the film looked worse on them.
- Knee socks and the one-inch headband were real trends, the headband crucial to the red outfit; Cher wears many headbands and looks great in them, a waspy look that is funny because Cher Horowitz is supposed to be Jewish.
