“She said, ‘I don’t want to look like a housewife in an evening gown,’” recalls Bob Mackie, who designed Cher’s two iconic 1980s Oscar dresses. “We never have to worry about that.”
By the time Cher was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress for her work in 1987’sshe had already shocked the Oscar crowd with a wonderfully insane outfit. At the 1986 Oscars Cher did the most Cher thing you could possibly imagine. She showed up in a towering feathered headdress, midriff bare, both the top and bottom accentuated by triangular hems, like teeth chomping on her stomach.
In the first bit of the film her hair is peppered with gray. She doesn’t wear makeup. She’s marrying a loser of a man—sweet, but nervous and unexciting—who asks her to contact his long-lost brother while he’s in Italy tending to his dying mother. Loretta does as he requests and finds Ronny Cammareri in the ovens of a local bakery. It turns out that he hates his brother, Loretta’s fiancé, whom he claims is responsible for the loss of his hand and his former bride-to-be.
