Get ready for a dazzling celebration of one of the most iconic fashion collaborations in history! This spring, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s prestigious Met Gala is set to honor the legendary partnership between Cher and designer Bob Mackie. The man behind Cher’s unforgettable looks has generously lent some of her most iconic costumes to the museum for their upcoming exhibit, Camp: Notes on Fashion. These stunning pieces will be on display for all to admire, showcasing the duo's unparalleled impact on the world of fashion.
A Partnership Born of Vision and Creativity
Bob Mackie and Cher’s journey together began way back in 1967, and their collaboration has been nothing short of legendary. Bob, now 79, reminisces fondly about the early days of working with Cher, a young woman who already knew she wanted to stand out in a crowd. “Back then, she was so young, but she had this incredible vision of herself,” Bob exclusively told Closer Weekly in its latest issue, available on newsstands now. “She didn’t want to look like just another housewife in an evening gown. And let me tell you, that was never going to happen with Cher!”
When it comes to fashion, Cher has always been fearless. According to Bob, the "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer, now 72, never hesitates to take risks with her style. “It’s just not in her nature to worry about what people might think,” Bob, an Emmy Award-winning designer, explained. “She’s all about expressing herself, and that’s what makes her so special.”

Iconic Moments in Fashion History
One of the most unforgettable outfits in Cher's illustrious career is her jaw-dropping ensemble from the 1986 Academy Awards. Featuring a striking headpiece and a black, jewel-encrusted gown with cut-outs, this look is expected to be showcased in the upcoming exhibit. Another timeless piece is a breathtaking take on an Indian sari that Cher wore during one of her performances. Bob described it as "classic Cher," capturing the essence of her bold and daring style.
Throughout the years, Bob has masterfully crafted every dazzling costume that Cher has worn, whether on stage or at red carpet events. From lace and sequins to gowns dripping in diamonds, Bob's designs have allowed Cher to express her unique personality and creativity. It’s no wonder that Cher is incredibly grateful for their partnership. “Bob changed my entire life!” she once exclaimed. “Without him, I’d be like a peacock without feathers.”
