From Marilyn Monroe to Sabrina Carpenter - Bob Mackie's designs in pictures
Bob Mackie's legacy is basically the glittery backbone of pop culture. The man's dressed everyone from the absolute legends to today's superstars, and there's barely a major performance moment in the last few decades that hasn't benefited from his sequin-and-rhinestone genius. What's brilliant is how his work never feels dated, even when you're looking back at stuff from decades ago; that's the mark of genuine craft rather than just chasing trends. For us at Cledvibes Radio it's a reminder that the visual side of music matters just much as the sound. Your favourite artist's iconic moment probably owes a debt to someone like Mackie working behind the scenes.
From BBC Entertainment & Arts: Beyoncé, Cher, Elton John and Miley Cyrus have all worn Mackie's glittery ensembles.
