On the 50th premiere anniversary of The Cher Show (1975), we look back at 5 of her most iconic looks

It’s been 50 years since The Cher Show (1975) premiered, and the sequins still haven’t settled. Her style was never just about clothes; it was about making a statement. With Bob Mackie as her co-conspirator, she turned spectacle into a signature. For example, she wore nude illusion gowns dripping in crystals long before they were red carpet currency, and she wore towering headpieces paired with barely-there ensembles that redefined performance dressing.

On The Cher Show (1975), she was no different. To mark half a century of entrances that remain on every girl’s wishlist, we’ve rounded up some of her iconic looks—on the show and beyond—and reimagined how to make them your own today.

Cher channelled her status as the ultimate ’70s flower girl gone disco with this one-shoulder dress featuring vertical sequinned detailing and oversized iridescent discs that shimmered with her steps.

To recreate the look, opt for the shimmer and drama of the Retrofête’s Candice gown or if you’re after more structure, Rimzim Dadu’s metallic one-shoulder dress is it. Complete the outfit with Givenchy’s crystal-embellished Liquid earrings, Misho Designs’ Pala bangles, and The Attico’s strappy heels.
