Bob Mackie, the American fashion designer whose sequined, high-glamour creations became synonymous with some of entertainment’s biggest stars, died Monday. He was 87.
Mackie built much of his reputation designing for Cher, Tina Turner, and Diana Ross, producing some of the most recognizable stage and red-carpet looks of the 20th century. His work leaned heavily on sequins and sparkle, favoring a maximalist glamour that stood apart from more understated design trends.
Details surrounding Mackie’s death, including its cause and location, were not immediately available.
Mackie’s influence extended across decades of American entertainment, with his designs appearing on television, in film, and on concert stages featuring some of the industry’s most enduring performers.
