Cher, 78, Stuns Everyone at VS Show, Sparking Cosmetic Surgery Speculation
The pop singer and her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, shared a sweet moment on the pink carpet at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2024.
Cher, who changed her signature black hair to blonde, looked quite different to her fans. Many claimed she had undergone a lot of cosmetic surgery that altered her facial features.
Alexander “AE” Edwards and Cher were seen arriving at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, New York, for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The couple walked in hand-in-hand, and AE, 38, affectionately kissed the 78-year-old on her cheek.
Cher shone on the carpet in a dark blazer paired with a black fishnet top and Harlem-style pants. Meanwhile, Edwards chose a black suit, with a white shirt and a colorful tie.
Cher’s facial appearance at the event drew much attention from fans, who shared their opinions on her supposed cosmetic surgery. One fan asked bluntly, “How many facelifts does it take?” while another said, “More plastic than human.”
Some fans expressed disappointment about her look, saying, “Her face is stiff.” One person commented, “She doesn’t even look like Cher anymore; she was incredibly beautiful😢.”
A fan noted specific features, writing, “What’s up with the bottom lip? She can’t move her face,” while another person, shocked by her appearance, exclaimed, “THOSE LIPS ARE HARDLY MOVING! HOW MANY SURGERIES?”
Others claimed they didn’t even recognize her, saying, “So much plastic surgery that I didn’t even recognize her. Omg.” One person humorously joked, “I saw that wig at the Halloween store.”
One user, after looking closely, shared, “The double bottom lip and frozen face is just sad,” while someone else expressed disgust, saying, “So many plastic injections…🤮.”
Despite the criticism, Cher still had fans celebrating her, with one saying, “Looking fab! Love the lighter hair! Queen!👸🏼” Another admirer added, “She looks amazing and is still the fashionista of all time! Just stunning!!🌟.” One fan reminded others, “She’s almost 80 years old and looks fantastic.”
Cher has always focused on looking and feeling her best. In 2002, the Grammy-winning singer said that losing her beauty would feel like hitting a wall, but instead of being stopped, she would just move it aside and find a new path.
She admitted to having some plastic surgery, but not as much as tabloids have reported, like butt or calf implants. She stated that her cheeks have not changed over time and denied having any cheek implants, butt lifts, or rib removals.
Cher also said she wouldn’t feel ashamed if she chose to improve her looks. “If I want to put my breasts on my back, it’s nobody’s business but my own,” she declared.
Cher has always been honest about her looks, often calling herself the “poster girl for plastic surgery.” She has acknowledged having a facelift while playfully asking, “Who hasn’t?”
When asked if she believes she has made cosmetic procedures more accepted, Cher was surprised and questioned if she made it normal for everyday people to have surgery. She pointed out, “These girls are having surgery at 18. I’ve never seen girls do so much to change how they look. I never wanted to do that.”
Cher reflected on her own self-acceptance, saying she never felt the need to change her natural features, like her big lips and butt, when she was young. Regarding whether cosmetic surgery has helped her career, Cher emphasized that talent is what really matters in entertainment.
She explained that if someone isn’t good at their craft, their appearance won’t keep people interested. “You don’t pay to just look at someone. They’ve got to deliver something,” she explained.
Cher acknowledged that she might tire at times, but she felt her voice has never been stronger. She takes pride in maintaining her physical strength, saying there are 20-year-olds who can’t perform like her.
Cher showcased her talent by headlining the all-female lineup at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which also featured performances from LISA, Orianthi, and Tyla.
The singer took the stage to end the much-anticipated return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, performing two of her most famous hits. The performance began with a powerful choir introduction and a montage of Cher’s images from various points in her career displayed on the back screen.
Dressed in a sparkling black jumpsuit and with matching jet-black hair, she opened with her 1998 anthem, “Strong Enough.” Cher sang emotional verses surrounded by her dancers before diving into the uplifting chorus.
Cher then strutted down the runway to a gold platform, where she performed her classic hit “Believe.” As she sang, some of Victoria’s Secret’s most famous models, including Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, and Adriana Lima, walked the runway wearing angel wings and the brand’s signature red and pink lingerie.
