15 unforgettable Bob Mackie designs, from Cher to Taylor Swift

"We're all born naked, and the rest is Bob Mackie," RuPaul once said of Bob Mackie, one of the most iconic costume and fashion designers of the last 60 years.

Mackie, who died on September 14 at 87, created some of the most recognizable and timeless pieces in fashion history, dressing stars including Cher, Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, and Britney Spears.

He also managed to stay relevant in seven different decades, from drawing the first sketch for Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress to providing one of the cornerstones for the aesthetic of Taylor Swift's latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl."

To commemorate his immeasurable impact on fashion over the years, we've compiled a list of just some of Mackie's iconic and best-known looks, from the '60s to now.

To talk about Bob Mackie is to talk about Cher. She wore this creation to the 1986 Academy Awards.

Some would describe this as Cher's "revenge dress," since she was snubbed by the Academy for her role in "Mask."

Mackie told The New Yorker in 2018, "There were a lot of people who said, 'That's not fashion!' And I said, 'Of course it's not fashion. It's a crazy getup for attention.' And it did get attention — people talk about it still."

Two years later, she won an Academy Award of her own in a Mackie design.

Cher was slightly more covered up when she won best actress for her performance in "Moonstruck."

"She wanted to wear one of those sheer dresses that covered just what you needed to cover, and the rest was up for grabs," Mackie told The New Yorker. "Of course, getting all dressed up and winning — you can't beat that. She just wanted to look like Cher."

Another of Cher's iconic Oscars looks was this yellow two-piece set in 1973.

Mackie and Cher met in the '60s when she appeared on "The Carol Burnett Show" and immediately connected. She wore this bejeweled two-piece to the 1973 Oscars, baring her abs, setting the tone for their decades of work together.
