Cher Turns Back Time

Known worldwide for her over-the-top fashion sense, and above all, her joie de vivre, Cher is an icon -- there's no doubt about that. In 1992, she donned a black bodysuit with so little material we'd hesitate to even classify it as an article of clothing.

Now, 17 years later at almost 63, Cher is back and better than ever -- in the same scandalous, leaves-nothing-to-the-imagination glittery getup.

Well, it's not quite the exact same garment. While it certainly looks almost identical, it does cover more of her *ahem* lady bits. Plus, the jacket it definitely shorter and the hair is even bigger -- who knew, it was possible?

But, the, "I'm way more fabulous than anyone else in Hollywood could ever even dream of being," attitude hasn't changed a bit. And rightfully so!

Sexy Stars in their 60s

At Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala, 63-year-old broadcasting legend Diane Sawyer wowed on the red carpet in an off the shoulder black top and striped skirt.

Helen Mirren has played a royal so often that she could probably take over for a real one, but she apparently hasn't got a bit of the Queen's stuffiness. The Academy Award-winner has been everyone from a naked housewife (in "Calendar Girls") to a tough-as-nails detective (in "Prime Suspect"), and even at 63, is confident enough to walk the red carpet in this figure hugging white dress at the premiere of her new film "State of Play".

Don't call her granny, gray-haired or anything that even hints that she's something less than fab. At 69, Tina Turner still has a great growl, glorious gams and gyrations that could kill. And the singer, who shimmered in gold leggings and matching Christian Louboutin heels during her 50th Anniversary tour stop in London, is not alone.

Vacationing with her husband on Saint Barths, 62-year-old Soap star Susan Lucci showed off her fabulous bod in this itsy-bitsy green bikini.

The one and only Grace Jones took to the stage at Camden's Roundhouse in London and wowed the crowed with both performance and her bod! Now 60-years-old, the former model and Andy Warhol muse still has to die for legs and a sense of style all her own.

Once the princess of punk, Debbie Harry, at 63, is now the embodiment of Baby Boom chic. Of course, no matter how (um) old she gets, the Blondie front-woman will still rock out and will never give up her signature yellow mane.

Taking a dip during her Hawaiian vacation Goldie Hawn looked sexy and much younger than her 63 years.

It's hard to say if Mia Farrow is better known as an actress (everything from "Rosemary's Baby" to a baker's dozen Woody Allen films) or her spectacular romances (marriages to Frank Sinatra and Andre Previn, and a fabulously sordid split with Allen). Still, at 63, the single mother-of-14 shown at Hong Kong International Airport is so burrowed in humanitarian work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and an activist against the genocide in Darfur, that Time named her one of 2008's 100 most influential people.

The most successful female recording artist ever 18 No. 1 hits in the U.S., 70 Top-10 hits since 1964 the 64-year-old Diana Ross is still supremely cool. In 2007, she had the finalists on "American Idol" rocking her songs. In 2008, she not only captured a BET Lifetime Achievement Award presented by her five kids and Stevie Wonder but she also headlined at Radio City Music Hall in "Divas with Heart."

She was immortalized as the delicately beautiful Lara in the 1965 romance, "Dr. Zhivago," and in the nearly 45 years since, Julie Christie shown here at the 2008 Academy Awards -- has clearly lost none of her allure. The It-girl of her generation, she's kept a lower profile in recent years, making only a handful of movies 2005's "Away From Her" won raves for her haunting portrait of a woman lost to Alzheimers and in 2007, at 66, marrying for the first time.

You've got to be kidding! You must be about 18 years old. She looks amazing and yes she has had plastic surgery etc but I'll tell you as someone who is 64 and does not look it, you do not keep her looks and shape without a lot of work! Plastic surgery only goes so far! You go Cher!

James 5-13-2009 @ 1:28AM

Plastic surgery only goes so far! LOL
If you have the money you could alter your entire body. You can have a new body every ten years. If you have the money.

linda 5-11-2009 @ 6:01PM

You are all so wrong, I just saw her in person last week and she is far from old. And does not look like joan rivers. she has more energy then most young people today. I was in the 14th row and when she came down from the balcony all in gold she came over right in front of me and she looks wonderful and not old. She is more beautiful in person then even I would have believed. Her show is unbelievable worth every penny.

What an old has-been. And she is older than 62, people.

Allen 5-11-2009 @ 4:24PM

Cher is still a delight. So she's had some work done. On her it really looks good. And her fun attitude is really contageous. I know of few "older" people who can exhibit the youthfulness that Cher shows. More power to her.

Sue 5-11-2009 @ 9:09PM

If she's older than 62, I am, too. She was born a month and a half before I was; her birthday is May 20, 1946.

Mae 5-11-2009 @ 9:30PM

Cher is 62 and not a day older. I remember when she started at 16 years of age.

Peter 6-07-2009 @ 5:49PM

For your Information A "HAS BEEN"
is a star that is NO LONGER ABLE TO PERFORM OR DRAW A CROWD. CHER HAS HIT SONGS STILL AND SELLS OUT MOST OF HER SHOWS SO THAT IS NOT A "HAS BEEN" LOOK UP THE DEFINITION!!!!!

NKY101 5-11-2009 @ 2:51PM

Cher is washed up, and needs to grow up...madonna is the most under talented, over exposed broad in show business. And Lady Goo-goo is a short lived goof ball.

If CHER was washed up, she would not have hit songs, or a HIT SHOW. Which she has, and hit songs as well, and can still draw an audience. If she was washed up CESARS would not have employed her. They know she still has what it takes to draw an audience.
