On February 8, 2017, Cher graced the stage with an unforgettable performance during her concert. Dressed in a striking, revealing, sheer black ensemble that beautifully complemented her curly, shoulder-length locks, the singer exuded an effortless charm as she mesmerized the audience with her soulful voice.
Her iconic all-black attire elicited a range of reactions on the internet. Fans were divided in their assessments. While many lauded the “Moonstruck” star for her stunning looks and seemingly ageless allure, others questioned the appropriateness of her sartorial choices at her stage in life.
Fans Were Divided among Their Opinions
“Only Cher can pull off an outfit like that,” enthused one user. “You are looking like age 45 must be mineral water what’s your secret [sic]???” exclaimed another devoted fan. “Love this song & her outfit and voice is amazing,” raved another commenter.
Her beauty philosophy has evolved over the years.
However, not everyone shared the same enthusiasm. “Horrors,” wrote another surprised individual. “Eeeew how old? Can grannies really dress like this? Crrrrrinnngggge [sic],” opined a third commenter.
The One Boundary Cher Will Never Cross
Despite receiving mixed opinions from the online community, Cher remains undisturbed by the passage of time. She has fearlessly embraced various fashion and beauty experiments throughout her illustrious, decades-spanning career, including an Oscar win and groundbreaking achievements. However, there’s one boundary she reportedly will never cross: she won’t let her hair turn gray.
While many actresses embraced their natural look during the pandemic, Cher firmly asserted that her signature jet-black hair is here to stay. She shared: “[Going gray] is fine for other girls, I’m just not doing it!”
Cher is open to exploring a wide range of beauty styles but firmly believes in having fun with it. She thinks people who overly scrutinize others’ makeup choices should find more meaningful pursuits in life.
Her beauty philosophy has evolved over the years. When she wants to add glam, she opts for “big eyelashes” but advises that “less is more” for those aiming to replicate her iconic look.Cher’s key to a fulfilling life is living on her own terms, and she believes that never losing touch with one’s inner girlhood is essential to staying youthful: “You know what? You never stop being a girl. If you never stop being a girl, you’ll never get old.”
The Singing Legend’s Thoughts on Getting Old
On September 4, 2023, Cher made an appearance on “Good Morning Britain.” During the show, Susanna mentioned that the “Believe” singer had turned 77 on May 23 and referred to a tweet Cher had shared on her birthday, expressing her thoughts on aging. It read:
“Ok, will someone PLEASE tell me… When will I feel OLD. This is ridiculous. I keep hearing these numbers, but I honestly can’t understand them. WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH #’s? I’m dyslexic, and #’s are hard for me. Thank you for staying, I know it’s been hard. Got to go work out. Twitter is harder for me than TweetBot [sic].”
Afterward, Susanna asked the music maestro what her secret is for looking so fabulous in her 70s, to which Cher replied, “I remember when my friend Paulette and I were discussing when we might have to cut our hair and stop wearing jeans because it seemed like in those days, that’s what women did.”
Cher continued: “But it hasn’t happened yet. I simply can’t believe that I’ll be 80 sooner than I’d like, and I’ll still be donning my jeans, long hair, and doing the same things I’ve always done.”
