Bob Mackie reflects on legendary career as a fashion designer and working with stars like Tina Turner, Cher
Legendary fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie is known for his glamorous designs, dressing stars such as Cher, Tina Turner and Madonna for everything from red carpets to concerts.
Recently, Taylor Swift wore one of Mackie’s creations in several of her photos for her album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
“It was kind of a surprise because I didn’t know she had those clothes,” Mackie told “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday, during an interview reflecting on his career. “She borrowed them from the place in Vegas, the big casino.”
Mackie had designed the costume more than 40 years ago for a Las Vegas show in the 1980s.
He explained he sketches his designs, but watching the stars perform is part of his process.

“My philosophy is watch what they do, how they work on stage, how they walk, how they sit,” he said.
“It is very important. You can’t just put a dress on anybody.”
Mackie reflected on his work with Turner and Cher.
“You just don’t know until you meet them and watch them perform that they’re that woman, that kind of a girl. I mean Cher was never intimidated by one thing I ever put on her – ever,” Mackie said.
He added that Turner, “always knew what she wanted. She would say, ‘oh that’s too old fashioned, I can’t wear that.’ Then she would put it on and go, ‘oh. Well, that’s pretty good.'”

Now some of Mackie’s iconic designs are headed for auction in December.
“It’s OK. I don’t have it at home waiting for me. It’s just there and the girls kind of like seeing somebody else wear it. That’s fun,” he said.

King Charles and Prince Andrew are arguing over the Royal Lodge, it is revealed.
His Majesty, who wants his defamed brother to leave the mansion in Windsor and move to a smaller home, has met with ‘civil war’ from Andrew.
Royal expert Matt Wilkinson writes for The Sun: “However, each side is now briefing against one another as the two brothers are caught up in a stand-off over the QueenMother’s beloved former home.”
Meanwhile, an insider said: “The palace has been trying to get Andrew and Sarah to leave Royal Lodge for almost three years now.
“But it’s the ugliest it has ever been. Claims and counterclaims about who was offered what and when show it’s not going well,@ they noted.
As Alicia Silverstone nears 50, she admitted that she wants to embrace “old-lady things.”
In a an exclusive chat with People, the 49-year-old actress confessed that she is “very domestic,” and loves to do domestic work since her 20s.
“I want to do more old-lady things — read in my garden,” she told the outlet, noting, “I can’t say that’s ‘old lady.’ I’ve wanted to do that since I was 20… I’m very domestic, I suppose.”
The ‘A Merry Little Ex-Mas’ star not that she is looking to “carve out time” more time for her domestic personality in her busy schedule
“I burn the candle so hard,” she remarked.
The Bugonia actress went on to say, “What I guess I’m always trying to figure out is, ‘What do normal people do? How much rest do normal people get?’ And then try to make that implemented into my life because I work so much, so crazy, I’m always traveling. I’m a machine.”
As the actress wrapped her filming of the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film and went straight to the set of Irish Blood to audition actors being a producer, Silverstone admitted she has found relaxation for a while.
“I was kept a little bit torn between everything so I wasn’t as relaxed. I was more pulled in a lot of directions,” she revealed.
“(I am) really, really loving the mornings where I wake up and get my son off to school, make his breakfast and his lunch. Then I go on a walk with my dog, and then I work all day. It’s still busy, but it’s not insanity.”
It is pertinent to mention that Silverstone is mom to son Bear whom she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.

King Charles finds himself pleading to Camilla, Meghan to let Harry return to royal family
King Charles has reportedly pleaded to Queen Camilla and Meghan Markle to put their differences aside and let Prince Harry return to the royal family fold.
According to reports, the Duchess of Sussex has asked Harry that she would return to the UK on one condition: that Camilla is not in the same room as her.
On the other hand, the Queen also does not have a good impression of Meghan as she finds her “manipulative” and believes she is “dangerous” for King Charles’ “peace.”
Meanwhile, Charles is pleading with the women as he “craves” nothing but “peace” at the moments and is desperate to be reunited with the Duke of Sussex.
“Charles is craving peace more than anything,” a source told Radar Online. “He’s well aware the family rift is damaging the monarchy’s reputation, but Meghan’s demands have made the situation far worse.”
“Camilla refuses to yield, Meghan won’t compromise – they’re completely deadlocked,” the palace insider added.
