Top 10 Cher Outfits That Are Just Timeless
Cher, immortal as she is, has accumulated an iconic status over her many, timeless years. Music, film, and of course, fashion. There are so many Cher outfits that are just utterly classic and unforgettable, but we’re here to narrow it down to a definitive ten. And in no particular order, they are:
1. 1973’s Gold Two Piece Set
Worn to the 45th Annual Academy Awards, Cher stole our hearts and totally outshone everyone else there – including the man by her side, Sonny Bono.
This look epitomises the glamour of Cher, the elegance, the drama! It also serves us a slice of those iconic abs she so loved to rock in the early years, and that sleek, black hair is unforgettably Cher.
2. 1974’s Sheer Dress
If you google ‘Cher outfits’, this one is bound to crop up. Why? Because it rocks. The end.
It’s fully sheer, beaded, and feathered. When one looks as beautiful as Cher, why not show it off?
This prequel to Rihanna’s Swarovski crystal dress was Cher’s outfit to the ’74 Met Gala, and has remained so iconic as to still be influencing fashion trends years later.
3. 1978’s Sheer Streetwear
So you need to step out for a few things. Maybe hit up 7/11, or drop by Chanel to pick up a new bag – where ever Cher was headed in this ’78 look, we doubt she expected it to end up in fashion history.
But here it is, in all it’s glory. A bodysuit, fishnets, and straw cowboy hat. When has your fave ever?
4. 1986’s Showgirl Set
A pivotal moment in Cher history.
After the Academy snubbed her attempts to be taken seriously as an actress, Cher rocked up the 1986 Oscars in this incredible Bob Mackie two piece.
And while Mackie is responsible for Cher’s most unforgettable and drama-filled looks, this one takes the cake for being so utterly timeless. That headpiece? To die for.
5. 1987’s Cutout Bodysuit
Iconic is becoming a meaningless word to apply to Cher – who transcends the title, and had established herself as something beyond an icon.
But, that being said, how else do we describe this cutout bodysuit from a 1987 performance by our queen of pop? Even the trade-in of sleek hair to wild curls is just as epitomising of what it is to be Cher.
6. 1988’s Sparkling Dress
Cher is usually dressed to impress – but here, she’s also dressed for retribution.
This is a dress perfectly designed for her Best Actress Win for ‘Moonstruck’ that year. From the sheerness, to the beading, to the unadulterated glamour. Cher rocking up in an undeniably Cher outfit is the ultimate stick-it-to-them after finally being acknowledged as the phenomenal actress that she is.
7. 1991’s Business Mix Up
A blazer, but with no pants. Fashion, but make it clothes-less.
Cher looks like a horrible mix of business chic and badass rocker chick – but this look kinda, totally works, and it’s all because she’s got no freakin’ underwear on.
Without (or…with underwear, rather), this look would have been just another of Cher’s iconic moments. But it’s boldness elevates it, and demands timeless attention.
8. 1992’s Leather Bodysuit
We all wish we could look like this, but only Cher can.
Shall we do an age check here? Oh, looks like that doesn’t matter – because Cher is utterly ageless. She could rock this look any year of her life, and it would still be as badass and flawlessly fitting as it is here in a 1992 stage performance.
9. 2004’s “Farewell” Tour Look
Dripping in gold, this Cher outfit is iconic mostly for the tour it was on. Her ‘Farewell Tour’ turned out to not be a farewell after all – and none of us are mad about it.
We’d all be lost without Cher and her sheer, glittery outfits. Plus, that headpiece laid over the return of her sleek, now blonde, hair is just so classic.
10. 2017’s Cutout Bodysuit Resurrection
If you ever needed proof of just how timeless Cher is, this is it.
It’s not even just the outfit – although the cutout bodysuit is killer every single time – but Cher, herself. Even 30 years later, Cher is still able to rock the same look, the same energy, the same status she once and always had.
And if you needed proof that Cher has always been freakin’ amazing, go check her Twitter. It’s just as iconic as any of these outfits.
