An Unforgettable Night Honoring Cher and Bob Mackie

Hey there, fashion lovers! Let me tell you about an event that’s going to be nothing short of spectacular. The 2019 Met Gala, often referred to as "fashion's biggest night," is set to honor one of the most iconic partnerships in entertainment history: Cher and her legendary designer, Bob Mackie. This celebration will feature an exhibit that showcases some of the most jaw-dropping costumes Mackie has created for Cher over the decades. Imagine walking into a room filled with the glitz and glamour of their incredible collaboration—it’s going to be unforgettable.

Mark your calendars for Monday, May 6, in New York City, where the Metropolitan Museum of Art will host this star-studded event. As part of the upcoming gala themed “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” The Costume Institute has borrowed several original ensembles from Mackie. These include many of the dazzling outfits Cher wore during her extended Las Vegas residency. Picture this: an array of costumes that not only reflect Cher's iconic style but also embody the essence of camp fashion. It’s a celebration of creativity, boldness, and a lasting friendship that has influenced countless designers and performers worldwide.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how Cher and Bob Mackie have been inseparable since their first meeting back in 1967. Their partnership is more than just professional; it's a deep friendship that has stood the test of time. In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly earlier this year, the Tony-nominated designer expressed his immense pride in being part of such a groundbreaking fashion evolution. Mackie shared how Cher, even in her early days, had a vision that set her apart from the crowd.

  • “Back in the day, she was so young, she didn’t fully realize just how incredible she could look,” Mackie fondly recalled. He went on to explain that Cher always sought to stand out, refusing to blend in with the typical evening gown look. “She’d say, ‘I don’t want to look like a housewife in an evening gown.’ And honestly, we’ve never had to worry about that with her!” he joked, highlighting Cher’s fearless approach to fashion.
