Legendary American fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie has passed away at the age of 87. Known widely as the "Sultan of Sequins" and "Raja of Rhinestones," Mackie died on September 14, 2026, in Palm Springs Park, California, following a bout with pneumonia. Over a

 career spanning more than six decades, his flamboyant, boundary-pushing, and sparkling creations defined Hollywood glamour and dressed the most iconic figures in show business. [1, 2, 3, 4]

An Unrivaled Legacy of Glamour

Mackie’s name is permanently intertwined with his longtime muse and friend, Cher. Together, they created some of pop culture's most unforgettable fashion statements, from her sheer 1974 Met Gala "naked dress" to her dramatic, feather-headdressed 1986 Oscars ensemble. Upon hearing the news, Cher shared a heartfelt tribute online, writing, "My dear Bob has gone up to heaven. Knowing him, he's bringing sequins, beads, and his sketch pad." [1, 2, 3, 4]

Beyond Cher, Mackie's brilliant theatricality left an indelible mark on television, music, and film: [1, 2]

• The Carol Burnett Show: He served as the costume designer for the entire 11-year run of the series, famously creating the hilarious "curtain rod" dress for the Went with the Wind! parody. [1, 2]
• Music Superstars: He designed iconic stage looks for Elton John (including his bedazzled 1975 Dodger Stadium baseball uniform), Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and Dolly Parton. [1, 2, 3]
• Archival Revival: His classic vintage pieces have enjoyed a massive resurgence among contemporary stars, recently worn on major red carpets and stages by artists like Miley Cyrus and Sabrina Carpenter. [1, 2]
• Barbie Collaborations: Starting in the 1980s, Mackie partnered with Mattel to launch a highly collectible line of fantasy-oriented Barbie dolls, veering away from traditional looks into exotic, heavily sequined high-fashion gowns. [1, 2]

Throughout his illustrious career, Mackie earned nine Emmy Awards from 30 nominations, a Tony Award in 2019 for The Cher Show, three Academy Award nominations, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). [1, 2, 3]

Miss Starlett costume, worn by Carol Burnett on "The Carol Burnett Show"

Cher, Elton John,, Tina Tuner, Madonna and Diana Ross are just a few of the Lucky ones to wear a Bob Mackie!

When I was a kid my parents talked about How Bob Mackie could turn a table cover into a cape in 1 second. Both of my parents were in the fabric design jobs and ran their own uniform business, my mother made Dresses and Halloween costume outfits for the whole town of Ellongton, Mo. and my dad designed Suits and Ties landing him a job at Biltwell cutting patterns on computer in the1980s for Anne Klein and John Alexander! I Loved Bob Mackie Designs I was very much changed by Bob Mackie's eye for strange fashion, The Carol Burnett Show Gone with the Wind Curtains will never Die! Long Live Miss Starlett's Dress! All of Mama's Family Shows Clothing was a country version of Bob Mackie's even Hubba, Bubba! Sent to Heaven Angel Bob! XOXO jzebraa
