The Notorious Hair Flip
When Silverstone was a kid, she used to flip her hair back dramatically to get it out of her eyes. Apparently, that ticked off the girls she went to school with, who viewed her gesture as a snobby and uncalled for little hair-whip. Years later, though, it would benefit Alicia, who would use her hair flip to impersonate Cher.

“I remember making an effort to do that hair flip with a lot of attitude whenever I was walking as Cher,” she shared. “I just remember thinking this is like a heightened version of what those girls thought I was.” In a sense, Cher was like a parody of the Beverly Hills princess that many girls in her neighborhood thought she was.
