An original Bob Mackie costume design for Cher, a neon green spandex halter-neck jumpsuit with matching gloves, as seen worn by Cher for her tour performance of "Whip It," accompanied by Bob Mackie's signed costume illustration.  

A neon green halterneck-spandex jumpsuit with a deep v-cut neckline and sheer netted panel, accented with white and black chevron pattern stripes. There is boning at the waist to produce an exaggerated flared hip that then tapers at the knee into a skintight pant leg. The pants of the jumpsuit feature stir-ups to keep the spandex taught and fitted when worn. There is no label or size tag present.

This lot is accompanied by a signed Bob Mackie costume illustration of Cher in the costume. The illustration is a mixed medium with a full-length figure of Cher posed wearing the bright neon green halter-neck jumpsuit and gloves. At the bottom right corner is Mackie's signature in black ink. 

Cher and Mackie's fashion partnership has created some of the most iconic looks in pop culture; Mackie's designs for Cher's stage outfits possess the theatricality and charisma that complement her music.
