‘Beauty icon’ is definitely a term that gets thrown around a little too often these days, but honestly, there’s no other way to describe someone with a hair and makeup legacy as full and fabulous as Cher’s.
Whether you’re one of the zillion trying to replicate the ridiculously smooth nature of her signature sleek strands (FYI, a coat of the Kérastase Paris Crème de la Crème will definitely help), or hoping to pay homage to her iconic lilac shadow look (try the Elizabeth Arden Eye Shadow Trio in ‘Touch of Lavender’), there’s no doubt we’ve all wanted to be just like her at some stage.
Our favourite thing about her? Her adventurousness. She’s rocked everything from mullets and crops to crystal headpieces in the hair department, and there’s certainly no love lost between her and shimmer eyeshadow. FYI, she’s also continued to embrace sparkle well into her 70s, as a reminder that ‘guidelines’ aside, you should embrace beauty however the hell you want to, because it’s your damn face.
So in celebration of her 75th birthday, (yes, 75, can you even believe it?), we’re taking a glorious look back at the wigs, butterfly clips and next-level lashes that have cemented her in the beauty hall of fame. Here are 21 of Cher’s most incredible beauty looks…

Cher is so iconic especially her variations in hair Colours, I prefer her as a brunette but she can do a good blonde or grey hair.
Also Cher liked to make a statement with her Fashion Trends. Cher is truly a Legend.
I love the blunt fringe looks. We share a birthday today only she's 20 years older.
Those photos show that Cher was very much into owning her style especially the one with the diamanté’s in her hair!
I love the articles above photo. I often do a pink eyeshadow look.
happy Birthday Frenchy1.You are in great company.
I think Cher is great but I don't particularly like any of these photos of her. I flicked through some more photos of her online and I am actually surprised how good she looks as a blonde.
Cher is a very talented artist. I’m reading this with my mum. She said that Cher had so much cosmetic surgery. She even had ribs removed to give her a more svelte looking figure.
No 2 is my favourite. But I never realised how big her hair was for her "If I could Turn back time" stage.
I was just thinking about Cher this morning and wondering what she's up to these days. Weird to find this article on BH. I like how Cher has her own style.
Looks 2 and 16 were my favourites as they were the most natural.
Happy birthday frenchy1!!
Her hair, makeup and style has evolved so much!
Keep in mind that there are a few photos here where she is wearing one her umpteen wigs.
Long sleek straight hair and spidery lashes-looove. Gosh, she is always beautiful!
Such a legend
Awwww shucks thanks again!
Thanks I'm gulp….55!
No 1 because she looked just like how my 1st Grade teacher did – well it was the same era I suppose! I remember my Grade 1 teacher even had similar winged black eye make-up!
Cher is such a blast from the past! I remember seeing her my my mum's magazines while I was growing up.
Happy 55th birthday! I hope you're celebrating wherever you are tonight!! Enjoy! 🙂
Wow, take me back in time!
Iconic and beautiful woman. Couldn't possibly pick a fav from the 21… she can pull off just about any look it seems 🙂
I love her hair when it's dark and long
Number 2 stunning natural beauty then number 11 xo
Cher is amazing her cheekbones to die for!
I was lucky enough to see her live in Las Vegas many years ago and it is still a highlight in my life memories.
I also remember my Aunty and Uncle went to one of her live shows (Melbourne, I was a teenager). We looked after the kids. When they came back to get the kids, they were absolutely blown away by the concert. My Aunty said it was probably one of the best live concerts she’s ever seen, she really put on such a fabulous show. As for my Uncle, well he was ummm errrr ‘mesmerised’! He was absolutely blown away! He said you could see uuummmm eeerrrrrrrrr ‘everything’! Absolutely nothing was left to the imagination! But he also said she put on an awesome concert.
Love these looks!!! She's a real icon!!!
So many hairstyles, the thing I remember her for is her long black hair.
A chameleon.
I love the graphic eyeliner in pic 1 – back when she had her old nose. & I remember the stir she caused at the Oscars in pic 18. Sometimes she was on the best-dressed list & other times she was on the worst – but she's always had her own constantly evolving style.
Hahahahahaha!
Happy birthday for yesterday, Frenchy1!
There's a cake on the forum, here:

When I was a kid, there were a million jokes about how much plastic surgery she'd had. For Eg, if Cher has any more facelifts, she'll have a beard! But she must have done something right: apart from her frozen, expressionless face, she doesn't look ridiculous – as many celebs do. I hadn't heard the rib rumour.
Cher certainly went through some weird and wonderful changes. She is such a talented artist.
I’ve always loved her boldness. Not afraid to be her own woman with her own style regardless of anyone’s opinion.
Love the big fluttery lashes!
She's an icon and definitely has a bold style. I don't love them all, but I think she's fab.
She still looks so glamorous and what a voice
Lol, that was one hell of a mullet she was sporting way back when
Cher looks amazing.
i just love them all
Happy belated birthday!
So her costumes are revealing! Haha
How amazing is Cher!
Hard to believe she is 75 now
joycebang001's exact same spam post as been on the last 3 articles. I've reported them as spam on each one
Cher has amazing bone structure and can pull off almost any look, even at her age.
I think dark hair suits her the best.
I like her minimal make up look.
Nobody could describe Cher as someone that likes to fade into the background!
