An auction that focused on the designer’s opulent creations Bob Mackie has concluded, and the amazing fits he made for his most famous client, Cherbrought in some big money.

The star of the show was a three-piece costume worn by Cher in 1977 The Sonny & Cher Show, which sold for $101,600 – 25 times the original estimate. Another outfit that went for way more than expected was a burgundy organza ensemble that she wore The Cher Show in 1975 while you sing “Take Me Home Country Roads.” It cost $95,250—almost 32 times the original estimate.

Other pieces that made a lot of money include a snakeskin ensemble worn by Cher in her 1979 TV special Cher … And other fantasieswhich sold for $44,450, and a two-piece outfit she wore in 1971 to sing “Stormy weather“on The Sonny and Cher Show. It cost $28,575.

One non-Cher ensemble at auction was Mackie’s 1987 “Earthquake Dress,” which Pink pulled from his archive to wear on the red carpet of the American Music Awards in 2022. It sold for $10,400.
