Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash are reuniting — but some fans aren't impressed.

The "Clueless" co-stars recently reunited in a new video to recreate a scene from their iconic 1995 film. On Tuesday, Silverstone, 46, took to Instagram to post a clip that Dash, 55, had posted on TikTok. Silverstone wore a baby blue blazer and light blue mom jeans in the video, while Dash sported a long-sleeve green shirt and dark jeans.

"Would you call me selfish?" Silverstone mouthed along to the audio, imitating her "Clueless" character Cher Horowitz, as "What's Luv?" by Ja Rule and Ashanti played. "No, not to your face," Dash lip synced in a reply that her character, Dionne Davenport, said, adding: "Well, there goes your social life."

In the original TikTok video, Dash also added on-screen text that read, "Forever Cher & Dionne BFFs."

"Would you call me selfish?" Silverstone quipped in the caption to her post, adding thinking face and laughing emojis.

Despite a reunion that comes 27 years after "Clueless" premiered, fans were unsure how to react to the friendship.

"I'm conflicted but at the same time I'm here for the reunion," one fan wrote.

"There's still time to delete this," another added.

"Nah. This ain’t it, babe. Some people belong in our past. Stacy Dash is one of those," someone shared.

"We'll take the nostalgia.. but ugh, as if. Not with this Trump supporter," someone else replied.

"Conflicted 'cause Stacey Dash is sooo… problematic these days. But I love a reunion," one person chimed in.

"Oh, IDK about this...but I hope she's turning a leaf to be more accepting toward LGBTQ+ people and persons of colour...who she's attacked for years. Truly hope!" another person penned.

In the past, Dash has come under scrutiny for her conservative views and support for former U.S. President Donald Trum when she was a political commentator on Fox News.

In 2016, Dash explained that she had a solution to the controversy surrounding the lack of diversity in that year's Oscar's nominations, to which comedian Chris Rock called out in his opening monologue for the 88th Academy Awards.

"We have to make up our minds," Dash shared. "Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you're only awarded if you're Black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard."

But the "Single Ladies" and "View From The Top" actress turned a new leaf in March 2021, where she denounced Trump and apologized for her past behaviour and remarks.

"I realized in 2016 that anger is unsustainable and it will destroy you. I made a lot of mistakes because of that anger," Dash said.

"There are things that I am sorry for. Things that I did say, that I should not have said them the way I said them. They were very arrogant and prideful and angry. And that's who Stacey was, but that's not who Stacey is now. Stacey's someone who has compassion, empathy."
