Remembering Bob Mackie

On September 14, Bob Mackie died. The 87-year-old, whose clothes were seen on concert stages as well as TV productions, was remembered by a slew of celebrities.

Among them was Elton John, who considered the designer's costumes to be works of art.

Cher and Goldie Hawn called Mackie a ''sweet prince'' and Carol Burnett believed  her friend to be a genius, adding on social media that ''sadness doesn't come close to how I feel.'' 

Brooke Shields said she appreciated the beauty Bob brought into the world, while Sabrina Carpenter wrote she felt lucky to have met him. 

Bob, who was also known for designing collectible Barbies for Mattel, was the subject of a book and movie. 

In 2024, a documentary, Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion, was released. Three years earlier, a book called The-Art-of-Bob-Mackie, was published.
