Will Cher shock with Bob Mackie at the Golden Globes?
Cher really did “Turn Back Time” at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards when she wore — at age 64 – an outfit almost identical to the scandalously sheer garter-belted, bare-cheeked costume from her 1989 “Time” music video. You know, the one where she was bare-cheeked and be-gartered dancing on a battleship in stiletto heels, applauded by enthusiastic sailors.
“Oh, I wear that (costume) every night onstage,” Cher demurred, referring to her ongoing Vegas concerts. “I had it and I didn’t have time to think of an outfit for the MTV Awards and I just thought it would be fun.”
That headline-making appearance — and her recent sheer-shirted nipple-gate at the “Burlesque” Barcelona premiere — proves there’s still some shock value left in the old gal. Which has some fashion observers (like me ) wondering (OK, hoping) if Cher who, stars with Christina Aguilera in Screen Gems’ light-hearted musical romp might wear a Bob Mackie creation for the Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 16). Maybe even for the Oscars on Sunday (Feb. 27).
