Tomorrow in Los Angeles, Bob Mackie, a renowned Hollywood costume designer with a career spanning fifty years, will hold an auction featuring iconic outfits. Among the items are creations worn by Cher, Raquel Welch, Lauren Bacall, and Carol Burnett, as well as vibrant illustrations. Approaching his 80th birthday, Mackie began his journey as an assistant to Jean Louis, crafting the dress donned by Marilyn Monroe in 1962. Notably, he designed the 'naked' dress for Cher's Best Actress win for Moonstruck in 1988. His illustrious clientele includes Judy Garland, Elton John, and Tina Turner. The auction, organized by Julien's Auctions, aligns with Mackie's upcoming Broadway work on The Cher Show, debuting next month. He hopes to see his pieces go to dedicated collectors.
