Bob Mackie has sadly died.
On Monday (September 14), Bob‘s team announced on Instagram that the legendary costume designer had passed away at the age of 87.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Mr. Bob Mackie passed away today,” his team wrote. “He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do. His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world.”
Bob was perhaps Hollywood’s most famous costume designer, best known for his collaborations with Cher over the years, along with dozens of other stars including Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, and Tina Turner.
He was a 32-time Emmy nominee and nine-time winner, taking home trophies for his work with Cher, Carol Burnett and Diana Ross. 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, Funny Lady and Pennies From Heaven.
Despite designing costumes for Broadway shows for decades, Bob received his only Tony nomination, and win, for his work on 2018’s The Cher Show.
Our thoughts are with Bob Mackie‘s loved ones during this difficult time. RIP.
