“You’re too old to dress like a 20-year-old,” an online user stated about Cher’s revealing outfits in her 70s.

Cher has received sheer criticism for her looks and revealing dressing style at her age.

Cher at 77: She seems unstoppable and has responded to her critics by sharing sizzling new body shots.

Despite her age, countless fans worldwide love and praise her, and she was even admired by her ex-boyfriend, who’s 40 years her junior.

Born on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California, Cherliyn Sarkisian, most popularly known as “Cher,” is an American musician, actress, and TV personality. She has come a long way, from being a teenage pop sensation to cementing her name as a Hollywood legend.

Cher has ruled the pop music arena for a very long time. Despite being in an industry thriving on fierce and cut-throat competition, she’s one of the few singers who have stayed relevant and maintained a constant presence for almost 60 years.

The “Strong Enough” star is a powerhouse of talent and is not just known for her singing prowess but also her looks and dressing sense. There have been countless occasions where she’s put her versatility and unique style on full display, baffling fans and colleagues alike.

Her choice of seemingly inappropriate outfits has kept her in the spotlight for years.
Cher knows how to steal the show with her beautiful voice, and her extravagant and eccentric outfit choices have helped her stay in the limelight. She’s said to have encouraged generations of artists how to establish their firm footing in the music space.

Over the years, the “Goddess of Pop” has been known to jump from one medium to another. She’s not only enjoyed making music but has also dabbled in hosting television shows; however, her ability to draw attention to whatever she does makes her stand out from the crowd.

Cher’s secret to mesmerizing the audience doesn’t just lie in her magical stage performances but also in her dazzling dress choices. She knows how to weave magic and hold her fans in a trance—something many entertainers only dream of achieving all their lives.

In addition to her phenomenal music, Cher is known for her daring looks and continued collaboration with the iconic costumier Bob Mackie, who has designed clothes for many Hollywood A-listers.

The “Believe” alum and Mackie crossed paths in 1967 on the “Carol Burnett Show.” Their association gave a whole new meaning to the institutions of fashion and glamor.

When Cher appeared at the 1986 Oscar Awards, her stunning and glittering look, courtesy of Mackie, was enough to turn heads. She went on to wear many signature outfits by Mackie, from figure-hugging dresses to his dramatic illusionist styles.

Cher’s journey from the unknown to establishing her distinct place as a multitalented icon is nothing short of exciting. In addition to redefining music and ruling the world of music for nearly six decades, she has challenged the norms and expectations, building a persona unlike any other.

From being fun and full of surprises to exuberating boldness and brilliance—Cher’s journey to success has been both unconventional and exceptional. Moreover, she has used fashion as a form of self-expression, unapologetically conveying her somewhat complex personal style.

Despite her age, the “After All” singer’s revealing style has remained unchanged. Her choice of seemingly inappropriate outfits has kept her in the spotlight for years. At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, she rocked a body-baring, heart-shaped pasties outfit made from beaded threads.

Cher topped her look with a platinum wig, looking snug and happy in her bold beaded dress. Interestingly, everyone adored her style, and she also bagged the Icon Award, which later gave her a chance to share an emotional acceptance speech.

While reflecting on her journey in the music arena for over 50 years at the time, Cher echoed what her mom told her when she was a young girl:

“You’re not going to be the smartest, you’re not going to be the prettiest, you’re not going to be the most talented, but you’re going to be special.’”

Taking the conversation further, the “If I Could Turn Back Time” star noted how her style statement throughout her career had been unique, despite being dubbed outrageous, distinct, and against the rule books.

To anyone wondering how she pulled off such a revealing dress for her age, the then-71-year-old responded, “I can do a five-minute plank.”

Despite going strong in her 70s, Cher has received immense criticism for her looks. In 2019, a user called the songstress “too old to dress like a [20-year-old].”

In 2014, a second user slammed her for looking ugly in her purple dress, saying she needed to wear something longer. “Cher looks like an ugly Ozzy,” commented another user.

She has reportedly been dubbed as the poster girl for cosmetic procedures.

Besides being criticized, the “Moonstruck” alum has also received supportive comments from fans. “THIS is cher! she looks her age, beautiful and happy. there’s nothing wrong with looking like you’ve lived [sic],” stated one user on Twitter.

When Cher posted her mother’s picture on social media in June 2022, many drew similarities between the two women. She is beautiful. She is beautiful at her age now!” wrote a fan. Another netizen commended the pop star, adding, “Looks beautiful for any age and she is already doing her job fabulously.”

For Cher, the world of glitz and glam has also pressured her to remain young and relevant in her field. She has reportedly been dubbed as the poster girl for cosmetic procedures.

When asked if she normalized the trend, the singer immediately pointed out how she had seen girls as young as 18 want to change their appearance. She said she didn’t comprehend why people held her responsible for something which had been trending for a long time.

“If you’re no good at what you do, people don’t care what you look like,” answered Cher when asked if cosmetic treatments had prolonged her career. She noted how people didn’t pay money to look at someone and attached much more importance to someone’s performance.

Despite admitting to feeling exhausted and drained, the “Burlesque” alum said her voice had never been better. She also stated how she had worked diligently to build her body strength, adding that even 20-year-old girls couldn’t do what she did.

While commenting on an American tabloid newspaper constantly suggesting she was on the brink of death, Cher appeared shocked and confused. During her response to the somewhat queer question, she said she was unsure why they thought she was dying when she had never felt that way.

Cher is also excellent at monitoring her diet and is a fan of healthy eating except for her love for chocolate. She also credits working out and exercising to her gorgeous appearance and agelessness.

So, how does the “All or Nothing” singer maintain her lovely figure while adding more years to her life? She once shared how she works twice as hard and loves being in the gym as much as possible. Cher said she was a tomboy in her youth and loved playing sports.
