Over the past five decades she’s famously pushed boundaries with her unapologetic fashion moments, obsessed over by Kim Kardashian and drag queens alike. In her own words: “Until you’re ready to look foolish, you’ll never have the possibility of being great.” And experimenting has made her a fashion guru, so here’s how you can channel her legendary 70s aura…

RAZZLE DAZZLE

If a dress could define Cher, it would be her 1974 Met Gala ‘naked’ dress. The 70s saw the start of Cher and, now Ru-Paul designer, Bob Mackie’s fashion romance; the guy who designed the sparkly feathery number that Kim K later copied for her Met 2015. Even this week, Dua Lipa wore her own version of the iconic dress. It represents everything Cher: skin, sequins and feathers.

LENGTH IS EVERYTHING

Long jet black hair will forever be a Cher trademark. Her super long eyelashes and colour-block eyeshadow completes the 70s look that she has timelessly brought right through to 2018. Take it from Cher: always put mascara on the bottom lashes.

EMBELLISHED TWO-PIECES = A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Always a rule breaker, Cher iconically led the sexual revolution when she caused outrage wearing tiny crop tops showing off her naval in the early 70s, but they soon came to define her idolised wardrobe. The hipster flares/belly top embellished two pieces created a whole new world of exotic bohemia.

The accessory that has stuck with Cher throughout her career, through sequined bodies, flared jeans and corsets; she makes a cowboy hat look cool with anything and everything.
