In the 1995 romantic comedy Clueless, what is the name of Cher Horowitz’s best friend?

Cher Horowitz’s best friend in Clueless is Dionne Davenport.

Dionne, played by Stacey Dash, is Cher’s confident and fashion-conscious companion at Beverly Hills High School. The two share an interest in clothes, matchmaking, and improving the lives of people around them, although Cher is usually more impulsive.

Clueless was written and directed by Amy Heckerling and loosely adapts Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma. Cher corresponds to Emma Woodhouse, while several other characters echo figures from Austen’s story.

Dionne is sometimes mistaken for Tai Frasier, the new student whom Cher and Dionne take under their wing. Tai, played by Brittany Murphy, becomes central to Cher’s growing self-awareness, but she is not Cher’s original best friend.
