Google Photos uses AI to make the iconic closet from ‘Clueless’ a reality
Google Photos on Wednesday announced a new AI-powered feature that will soon turn photos of your clothes into a digital closet where you can create new outfit ideas, and even virtually try on your creations. Yes, the idea takes obvious inspiration from Cher’s iconic virtual wardrobe featured in the movie “Clueless,” where she could scroll through her various ensembles while deciding what to wear.
Google says the new feature will leverage AI technology to automatically create a copy of your wardrobe that’s based on the pieces of clothing appearing in your Google Photos library. From the app, you’ll be able to filter items by category — like tops, bottoms, jewelry, and more — then mix and match them to create different outfits.
The idea of a digital closet in “Clueless” was meant to highlight Cher’s life of privilege. As a result, the fashion industry and various startups have long sought to recreate the feeling of easy outfit creation. Google is betting that AI technology will make it possible for anyone to have access to a similar tool, one that could improve over time as AI advances.
Those outfit ideas can either be shared with friends or saved to a digital moodboard, where you could save ideas for different occasions, like travel, events, date nights, work, and more.
In addition, another feature will let you virtually try on items to preview the looks.
The feature is not yet live, but Google says it will roll out to Google Photos on Android later this summer, followed by iOS, where it will be found under “Collections.” It will compete with existing apps like Acloset, Combyne, Pureple, Wearing, Alta, and others.
The company didn’t go into detail about how the AI works, but notes it will recognize the clothing and accessories featured in your library to create its individual snapshots. Of course, while the AI may be able to pull images from well-lit, full-body photos, we imagine you would get better results by taking the time to photograph your clothes yourself, much as Cher had.

Controversy surrounding the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election for the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency has taken a new turn, with officials who conducted the exercise alleging attempts by some aggrieved aspirants to undermine the credibility of the election.
The allegations were made on Tuesday during a press briefing in Jos by members of the Forum of Ward Presiding Officers, Local Government Collation Officers and Constituency Collation/Returning Officers.
Speaking on behalf of the forum, its Chairman, Chinwatda Tapar, claimed that some aspirants approached election officials after the May 16, 2026 primary and urged them to sign affidavits containing accounts that contradicted what transpired during the exercise.
According to Tapar, some officials were allegedly offered financial inducements, while others faced intimidation and sustained pressure in a bid to secure their cooperation.
“Our duty was to conduct a free, fair and credible election, not to become instruments in any post-election effort aimed at distorting the truth,” he said.
Tapar explained that the election officials were appointed by the APC National Secretariat through the committee constituted to conduct the party’s 2026 National Assembly primary elections in Plateau State, headed by Hon. Stella Okotete.
He stated that the committee deployed them to oversee the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency primary, which, according to him, was conducted peacefully, transparently and in compliance with the APC constitution and electoral guidelines.
He maintained that the election produced a winner who was duly declared and returned after the collation of results.
The forum further disclosed that it had retained information relating to the alleged approaches made by the aggrieved aspirants and would present the evidence to law enforcement agencies, the APC leadership or any court of competent jurisdiction if required.
The officials urged party members and stakeholders to channel any grievances arising from the primary election through lawful and democratic processes rather than attempting to influence election officials.
“Our responsibility as Ward Presiding Officers, Local Government Collation Officers and Constituency Collation/Returning Officers ended with the successful conduct of the primary election and the declaration of its outcome,” Tapar added.
The forum reaffirmed its commitment to truth, fairness, due process and the democratic principles of the APC, insisting that it would not participate in any effort to compromise the integrity of the primary election or distort the facts surrounding its conduct.
