Cher Then & Now

Cher Then & Now — Cher, who is often referred to by the media as the ‘Goddess of Pop’, has been singing and performing since 1965, and since she just turned 75 on May 20, 2021, we thought it’d be the perfect time to look back on her iconic transformation.

As you can see in the photo above, Cher hasn’t aged much since the early ’70s. This was the moment she and ex-husband Sonny Bono, who died in 1998, performed on ‘The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour’. For the performance, Cher wore some sort of colorful bra top with a massive cutout in the middle, and pants to match. Her sleeves were also made of fringe. And take a look at her toned abs, incredible!

For more photos of the stunner over the years, look no further. Our gallery has photos from back in the 60s to the current day.
