Bob & Cher have known each other for over 50 years <\/h3>\n

Bob and Cher first met in 1971 on the set of The Carol Burnett Show and they quickly hit it off and began working together. Over the years, Bob created the majority of Cher\u2019s most iconic, boundary-pushing, and flamboyant fashion moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cA woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed,\u201d Bob famously once said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was a 32-time Emmy nominee and nine-time winner, taking home trophies for his work with Cher<\/strong>, Carol Burnett<\/strong> and Diana Ross<\/strong>. In 2002, he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. He was also a three-time Oscar nominee for his work on the movies Lady Sings the Blues<\/em>, Funny Lady<\/em> and Pennies From Heaven<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite designing costumes for Broadway shows for decades, Bob<\/strong> received his only Tony nomination, and win, for his work on 2018\u2019s The Cher Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t see, Bob Mackie<\/strong>\u2018s cause of death was revealed by his rep<\/a>.<\/p>\n
