The CLIP (ViT-B/32) model is used off-the-shelf for zero-shot vibe matching.
It maps user-entered movie-review text and outfit images into a shared embedding space and ranks outfits by cosine similarity (vibe alignment).
Interpretation: CLIP outperforms the trained ResNet18 (48 %) by a large margin, highlighting the power of pre-trained vision–language models for vibe alignment.
