Fashion
In all aspects of Cher’s TV appearances there has been an important aspect of costumery in her image making, starting from early appearances with fur fests and bell-bottoms on music shows of the 60s to work with Bob Mackie on her variety shows where she bared her bellybutton to outfits worn on interviews in talk shows and outrageous headdresses in TV concerts and academy award shows. “What will Cher be wearing tonight on TV” has become a decade-in-decade-out reason to watch.
