Fashion Icon: Cher

N9Q25NY9DSGW

Cher has won an Oscar, a Grammy, an Emmy, three Golden Globes and a Peoples Choice Award but what she's know for the most is her fearless adventures in fashion. She is the Queen of re-invention. I was lucky enough to see her perform live last night at Caesars Palace in Cher at the Colosseum and even though I can't stop humming Believe (I think it might take an exorcism to get the song out of my head) what I remember most about last nights show is those amazing Bob Mackie gowns. In fact, I learned two things: 1) All my clothes are boring. 2) I need to own more wigs.
 The concert whilst being full of Cher's greatest hits along with some fab re-makes was also a tribute to Cher the fashion Icon with tons of pics and video clips of every look she has had over the years. You might think that someone whose style changes by the second would have tried ever designer out there but Cher and Bob Mackie have been a dynamic duo for 40 years. Her relationship with Mackie has outlasted all of her marriages and with good reason. He fufills her every fashion fantasy, even the Cher Barbie doll wears a Bob Mackie original gown!
 At 64 Cher is as beautiful as always with a killer body most twenty-somethings would envy, so admittedly most of us can't pull off some of the daring looks she has had during her lifetime but the next time you are trying to decide between the safe look you know everyone will approve of and the crazy glam look you really want to wear ask yourself this- What would Cher do?

Above are a few of The glorious Bob Mackie gowns on display outside the Colosseum Theatre at Caesars Palace where Cher is currently performing.

Hollywood goes to Cannes: What They Wore

Things were a little more formal on the beaches of Cannes as they rolled out the red carpet for the 63rd annual Cannes Film Festival.

I'm loving Kirsten Dunst in Retro style Turquoise and Lambert Wilson looks very dashing in his traditional tux.

Kate Beckinsale always takes sexy to a whole new level and Tim Burton cleans up pretty well, don't you think?

Diane Kruger is one of those actresses whose wardrobe I envy. She looks bold and Summery in this pink and black gown. Javier Bardem skips the bow tie to update his look. A popular choice for the guys at Cannes this year.

Salma Hayek absolutely glows in this baby pink and gold creation, while Marisa Berenson keeps classic black current with a bold necklace.
