The same getup she used to wear 19 years ago

She might have said in past interviews that growing old was nothing even remotely close to a walk in the park, but Cher’s latest performance – and especially her choice for an outfit – showed no signs of such an ordeal. For her most recent Las Vegas gig, the David Foster and Friends concert at Mandalay Bay Events Centre, the diva took out an outfit she hadn’t worn in 19 years – and one could hardly tell the difference between then and now, People magazine says.

Since pictures of the 62-year-old singer up on stage surfaced on the Internet, headlines like “Cher Can Turn Back the Hands of Time” have become a common occurrence. They are, of course, made in direct relation to her choice of an outfit, which was the same that she donned in the “Turn Back Time” video, with tattoos and sculpted body all in plain sight. Strangely enough, so many years later, one could hardly tell that this was not the body of a 30something woman, several media outlets are stating.

“At a David Foster and Friends concert Saturday in Las Vegas, the singer, 62, wore a sheer black bodysuit, similar to the one she wore 20 years ago in her ‘Turn Back Time’ video. She accessorized with a pair of thigh-high boots and suspenders.” People magazine writes of the appearance that has caused many a jaw to drop to the floor. Granted, the sheer outfit was a bit darker this time around, and the makeup was more obvious than many years ago, but the bottom line remains that, at 62, Cher is still able and bold enough to pull off such a look that many young girls would perhaps run away from.

Speaking of being physically fit, the legendary singer recently admitted to Oprah Winfrey that growing old was certainly not as great as it’s cracked up to be. For starters, Cher has revealed, she has to work out more and be more careful about what she eats, otherwise the pounds just start to pile on and there’s little one can do once that happens. The stress of always being in top shape also makes it hard for her to concentrate on her health at times, Cher says, since she often forgets to eat.

“It’s not that good for you because it slows down your metabolism. You can get fat just doing that.” Cher has told Oprah. When she’s not too stressed though, the singer eats seven small meals a day and gets plenty of exercise – so looking this stunning at her age in such a revealing outfit should probably not surprise anyone at this point.
