Pop culture icon Cher continues defying expectations with her singing and bold fashion choices that are as legendary as her music.

The 77-year-old star behind the hit 'Believe' once again turned heads with her latest appearance as she paid a stunning tribute to her long-time friend and collaborator, Bob Mackie.

The red carpet premiere of Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion took place at the Directors Guild of America.

The film celebrated the life and career of the 84-year-old fashion designer—a pivotal figure in Cher's unique and cutting-edge style early into her career.

The star-studded premiere became the perfect backdrop for Cher to showcase her ageless beauty in a Mackie creation—a black and nude illusion jumpsuit paired with a leather coat.

The outfit—clad in flame cutouts and a buckle detailing on the hip—was a bold statement piece that complimented Cher's confidence and stature.

Cher's working relationship with Mackie dates back to 1971.

The two first met during a fitting for the TV special The First Nine Months, in which Cher worked with her former husband, Sonny Bono.

'I see this bloke over my shoulder walking in the door, and he's beautiful. I turned around, and there was this tall, kind of Adonis-looking bloke with curly blonde hair and a suntan. I went, "You're so much younger than I thought you'd be,"' she recounted as she met Mackie for the first time.

'He said, "You're so much thinner than I thought you'd be," and it was like that from then on.'

A 'match made in heaven' according to Cher, they have been an inseparable duo ever since.

Cher graced red carpets in Mackie's designs throughout her career, from the Met Gala to her midriff-baring ensemble with a feather headpiece at the 1986 Oscars.

Mackie also noted how Cher's fashion choices set trends and pushed boundaries.

'Nobody was even allowed to design a halter dress until Cher started wearing them on Sonny & Cher, and then suddenly they were in everybody's collection,' he shared.

Cher's personal life has also been a topic of fascination, as she recently confirmed her relationship with 36-year-old producer Alexander Edwards, with engagement rumours spreading about.

Cher addresses the age gap candidly and explained that men her age were either too intimidated or 'now they're all dead', leading her to date younger men bold enough to approach her.

Cher's romantic history is as storied as her career. She married Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman and had several other relationships.

Yet, through all the ups and downs, Cher remains unapologetic and genuine to herself—a trailblazer in music, fashion, and life.

Cher's story reminds us of her timeless spirit and the impact she continues to have on the entertainment and fashion industries.

Her ability to surprise and inspire is unparalleled, and her partnership with Bob Mackie remains one of the most iconic in fashion history.

Oh dear name calling again

Wouldn’t know any of that but in general can’t stand little dressed people hanging it all out.
find it distasteful too and shudder about our youth… with her she can actually pull it off.
cant believe she’s the age she is since usually the hands and neck show it1
Someone tighten my neck, the rest I’m happy with
can‘t quite believe I made that remark, the pot over boiled no doubt. Actually embarrassed but hey!

Unfortunately it's the in thing to wear as little as possible,I don't particularly like it but I suppose it gets the attention they want,hides what little talent they have

You want to know something? My grandmother was dead before I was born. She died because she did not want to encounter the weasels of the world such as YOU!

Now run along you sour old fart!

Do you understand what “empathy” means? How does the following statement show a lack of empathy?

“As much talent as my deceased grandmother's little toenail.”

Whether or not the grandmother was deceased or alive, I think the point is that a little toenail would not have talent.

Calling people names who you don’t know just shows more of your ignorance.
