Porn: cher naked
Considering the Billboard Music Awards, that’s as true now as it was back then. Mackie attended the 1974 Met Gala with Cher on his arm dressed in what is perhaps one of the most famous naked dresses of all time: a sheer beaded gown with white feathered sleeves and a white feathered skirt. Nearly everything was visible, including Cher’s nipples—no pasties then either. She later wore the dress in a photograph that appeared on the cover of Time magazine. “It created a lot of hubbub,” Mackie says of the dress. “In those days, Time reserved its covers for world leaders or someone who invented something important, like a vaccine. Then there was Cher on the cover in that incredible piece of clothing, and newsstands sold out of it almost immediately. Some cities even banned it from being sold—it’s funny considering how some stars can barely keep their clothes on today.”

While there may be a new generation of thong-strapped naked dressers entering the spotlight at the moment, Mackie continues to praise Cher’s fearlessness when it comes to fashion. “I first met her in 1967, and she could wear anything then,” he says. “She was never intimidated to wear something daring and still isn’t—at 71, it’s not easy to pull something like the Billboard costumes off, but if anyone can, Cher can.” As far as Mackie is concerned, in matters of style as they exist today, being bold is more exciting than being naked.
