"Supermodel" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jill Sobule from the soundtrack to the teen comedy film Clueless (1995), and the reissue of her self-titled second studio album (1995). It was written by David Baerwald, David Kitay, Brian MacLeod, and Kristen Vigard, and produced by Brad Jones and Robin Eaton. Atlantic and Lava Records released it as the soundtrack's third single and Jill Sobule's second single on July 10, 1995. An alternative rock song, it was inspired by excerpts from Sassy and is about a teenage girl's desire to be a supermodel.
"Supermodel" received a positive reception from music critics, who praised the song's sarcastic lyrics and deemed it a highlight of the Clueless soundtrack. In Australia, the song spent five weeks on the ARIA Singles Chart where it peaked at number 53. Morgan Lawley directed its music video, which was heavily inspired by the supernatural horror film Carrie (1976). Sobule later voiced regret over the song's release as a follow-up to her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl". "Supermodel" was regularly included on the set lists for Sobule's tours.
