10 Celeb Outfits From 1975 That Everyone Still Remembers Today

The year was 1975, and the entertainment world was buzzing with exciting new beginnings. Television was rapidly evolving with the introduction of cultural staples like "Saturday Night Live" and "Good Morning America," but at the center of it all was Cher — the glamorous and free-spirited host of "The Cher Show". The then 20-something delighted audiences with her dazzling and risqué Bob Mackie ensembles, pushing the boundaries of celebrity style that would go on to inspire red carpet fashion decades later.

Cher wasn't the only star making unforgettable fashion statements. Icons like Diana Ross and Jackie Kennedy Onassis were also cementing their status as style royalty, influencing trends with sophisticated tailoring and exquisite statement accessories. Meanwhile, others like Stevie Nicks, Farrah Fawcett, and Jane Fonda embraced the era's growing boho-chic movement, popularizing flowing fabrics and carefree glamour. The sartorial style of these celebrities became cultural moments, later influencing runway collections and magazine editorials, while helping shape modern fashion trends.

Ultimately, these celebrities became the muses of 1975's most iconic fashion trends. Whether glamorous, daring, or effortlessly chic, these standout outfits that graced our TV screens and appeared in magazine spreads remain etched in pop culture history and will forever be remembered. Here, we revisit some of these iconic looks and the celebrities who brought them to life.

There's no single outfit that defines Cher's most iconic look – there are simply too many. Besides the unforgettable Bob Mackie creations she wore on "The Cher Show," one of the designer's most memorable  ensembles debuted at the 1975 Rock Music Awards.

Presenting Elton John with the Rock Personality of the Year award that evening, Cher dazzled the audience in a risqué sequined pantsuit ensemble with a revealing cutout design on the bodice. Among her many Bob Mackie-styled red carpet moments, the glamorous 1975 look became one of her most influential, later inspiring several recreations over the years, notably Emily Ratajkowski's Cher-inspired sparkling sheer gown at the 2019 Met Gala.

A Diana Ross outfit that everyone still remembers today appeared in the 1975 film, "Mahogany," where the star immersed herself in the fashion world and even designed several of her own costumes, alongside designer Bob Mackie.

One such creation was the sophisticated ivory monochromatic pantsuit paired with a dramatic cape and wide-brimmed floppy hat, which became one of her most memorable looks of all time. With its chic tailoring and striking accents, the ensemble exuded old Hollywood glamour while highlighting Ross' effortless ability to pull off bold fashion with elegance and grace, further solidifying her status as a style icon.

Today, Farrah Fawcett is famously recognized for her memorable photoshoots. One of her most iconic moments was captured in a 1975 publicity portrait taken outdoors. The image remains one of the actor's most popular and is often the go-to snap for magazine features wanting to capture the bombshell for all her remarkable features.

Alongside her iconic voluminous, windswept "Farrah Fawcett flip" hairstyle, she wore a mauve boho-style ruffle blouse paired with blue jeans — a look that has become one of her most unforgettable. The classic '70s style combo remains a timeless boho fashion staple and still serves as spring wardrobe inspiration today, as featured in Vogue.

Goldie Hawn has been known for turning heads throughout the height of her Hollywood career. From her deep-plunge mini dresses and slip gowns to hippie-style outfits and luxurious red carpet ensembles, she has created a signature style that exudes femininity and high glamour.

An unforgettable wardrobe moment for Hawn came in the 1975 film "Shampoo." While the actor wore several looks throughout the scenes, no one will forget her flirty, leg-baring mini dress worn during a formal gathering. The daring ensemble highlighted the actor's effortless confidence and ability to command attention. The moment also marked an early chapter in Hawn's stunning Hollywood transformation over the years.

Stevie Nicks will forever be remembered as the mystical voice behind Fleetwood Mac. Beyond her music, she's recognized as a trendsetter of ethereal, bohemian aesthetics, whose influence continues to shape runway fashion today.

During Fleetwood Mac's 1975 tour, Nicks rocked one of her signature "witchy looks" by designer Margi Kent. The memorable ensemble – a velvet and chiffon cache-coeur top with a satin skirt, top hat, and layered necklaces – turned out to be one of many creations to shield early-career stage fright. As Nicks once told The New York Times, "I'll be very, very sexy under 18 pounds of chiffon and lace and velvet. And nobody will know who I really am."

Jane Fonda has remained a style icon throughout every decade of her life. She boldly embraces the trends of an era with effortless style. During her Hollywood reign in 1975, Fonda's sartorial style gravitated towards tailored lounge-style wear and boho-inspired looks.

One of her most fashionable moments was captured on the veranda of her Santa Monica home . The actor wore a turtleneck sweater paired with tailored trousers, styling the look with a newsboy cap and statement hoop earrings that perfectly reflected the essence of '70s fashion.

Actor Mary Tyler Moore debuted an unforgettable outfit that was far ahead of its time during a 1975 episode of her sitcom. Audiences still remember Moore's risqué green dress featuring sequin-embellished cutouts that exposed her torso and legs.

The revealing design, which was created by the show's costume designer Leslie Hall, was a far cry from her character's usual conservative wardrobe. The bold look, however, was created to facilitate the storyline, in which Mary Richards was supporting her friend's dream of becoming a fashion designer — and in doing so, tried on one of her racy creations.

Tina Turner has always pushed the boundaries of fashion to match her electrifying stage performance. Her energetic choreography wasn't complete without her show-stopping ensembles moving in sync to the beat.

While the music icon debuted countless flashy looks throughout her career, one of her most memorable outfits in 1975 was a plunging halter-neck dress with a swirl-illusion print, designed by Bob Mackie. Worn during a performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, the daring ensemble featured double thigh-high slits that went up to her hips, revealing her fishnet-clad legs and creating yet another exhilarating fashion moment for Turner.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a true style icon and trendsetter of her time, who influenced the fashion industry with her exquisitely tailored designer suits, elegant dresses, signature pearl necklaces, and oversized sunglasses. Many of her looks are now considered trends from the '70s that older women still love.

The former first lady had an effortless way of delivering chic fashion moments that often seemed unassuming yet always made an impact. During a casual stroll along Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1975, Onassis made an unforgettable impression wearing a monochromatic leather trench coat ensemble paired with her infamous "Jackie O. sunglasses" — a look that remains iconic to this day.

Cher makes this list once again alongside fellow '70s bombshell Raquel Welch following their unforgettable 1975 performance on "The Cher Show." Wearing matching shimmering outfits designed by Bob Mackie, the duo commanded the stage performing "I'm a Woman," but their skin-baring ensembles easily stole the spotlight. 

While Welch has had many glamorous red carpet and screen appearances, her matching cutout gown remains one of her most iconic, although she wasn't initially on board with the revealing design. "Raquel was much curvier than Cher—and I think she was a little nervous," Mackie told Interview Magazine. "She said, 'Oh my god, is this too much? Do I look cheap?' And I said, no, darling, you look gorgeous."
