Cher's Controversial Oscars Moment

Oscar-Verleihung in Los Angeles. Für den Preis als beste Hauptdarstellerin waren neben Sängerin Cher auch Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, Sally Kirkland und Meryl Streep nominiert. Am Ende betrat Cher die Bühne, um den begehrten Oscar für die beste Schauspielerin im Film "Mondsüchtig" entgegenzunehmen. Es war allerdings nicht die Tatsache, dass die Sängerin Filmgrößen wie Meryl Streep ausstach, die in Erinnerung blieb – sondern es war ihr Outfit.

In the realm of Hollywood's most memorable Oscars moments, few outfits garnered as much attention as Cher's iconic 1988 attire. During the annual Academy Awards, Cher managed to outshine even the star-studded competition with a daring and groundbreaking fashion statement that left many in awe and others in outrage.

Oscars für einen echten Skandal sorgte. Und das, obwohl Cher schon in den Jahren zuvor durch sexy Outfits bei den Academy Awards auffiel. Dass sie in dem Kleid allerdings einen Oscar entgegennahm, verlieh dem Outfit wohl noch mehr Bedeutung. So einen Anblick auf der Bühne der Oscars war man nicht gewohnt.

Cher's penchant for pushing fashion boundaries was well-known, and the Oscars offered her yet another opportunity to showcase her audacious style. Wearing a sheet-thin Bob Mackie creation draped with thousands of pearls and sequins, she walked the red carpet with a confidence that transcended the limits of convention.

Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles. Alongside Cher, Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, Sally Kirkland, and Meryl Streep were nominated for Best Actress. Cher took to the stage to accept the Oscar for Best Actress in the film "Moonstruck," but it was not her triumph over film legends like Meryl Streep that left an impression - it was her outfit.

The design, while undeniably beautiful, left little to the imagination. Cher's lack of undergarments was impeccably camouflaged by the fabulous baubles, creating a unique blend of sensuality, glamour, and controversy. The dress, with its delicate straps and bra-like neckline, exposed both her belly and legs, igniting whispers and gasps from the audience.

Underwear Trends

Though not the first time Cher had made waves with her fashion choices, the fact that she accepted her Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the film "Moonstruck" while wearing the controversial ensemble added another layer of significance to the event. The bold, unapologetic style was not a common sight on the Oscars stage, making it that much more memorable.

Cher's Oscars outfit served as a potent symbol of a burgeoning fashion trend in the mid-80s known as "naked dressing." This style revolution celebrated the female form by embracing sheer materials and strategically placed cutouts. The trend would go on to inspire countless red-carpet appearances and set a precedent for what was considered acceptable in Hollywood's glamorous circles.
