Cher Spotted Looking Youthful in 76 Despite Her “Neck Tape”

Cher, who is currently dating 37-year-old music executive Alexander Edwards, recently appeared at the premiere of “Chevalier” to support her cast members starring in the upcoming period drama. The actress looked youthful in a stylish ensemble.

Cher was in a purple-and-black biker crop jacket, which was partially zipped. She complemented the look with a gray puffer jacket that had an oval-shaped embellishment on the front and the elbows to give it a special appearance.

Her fashionable look also included black loose-fitting pants that swept past her ankles and comprised a thin white stripe on each side. The long hem of her pants slightly concealed the pair of sleek black shoes the actress wore.

The singer’s hair and makeup were exceptionally done for the special screening. Her dark, voluminous locks were parted in the middle and flowed down graciously in bouncy curls to her upper back.

Cher had a glossy and dark rosy tint applied on her lips. Her cheekbones stood out thanks to a light blush and highlighter added to them. A layer of mascara applied on her lashes and a simmering pink eyeshadow made her eyes look stunning.

The actress ensured the perfect look she had put together remained the focus of her appearance, as she did not complement it with any flashy jewelry.

Cher’s stunning look was shared on social media. As much as some fans complimented her, other social media users used it as an opportunity to mock her use of neck tape in the past.

The neck tape, which was first used by Marlene Dietrich to turn taut her sagging neck skin, is usually hidden under a wig or hairline. But during the Londo premiere of “Burlesque” back in 2010, Cher’s neck tape was visible, and fans noticed.

Of her latest outing, one fan couldn’t help but bring up the singer’s previous use of a neck tape while complimenting her. “That neck tape does wonders!” the fan wrote.

Another user came to Cher’s defense and said the actress had all the right to use neck tape. “…Neck tape works well. Great with long hair. Lol, personal trainer. Helps with weight,” she said.

Aside from the “neck tape” comments, users loved Cher’s youthful appearance, with some attributing her agelessness to plastic surgery. One said the actress was “absolutely gorgeous,” while another credited her surgeons.

Cher has never hidden her love for plastic surgery and some of her fans think that’s not a bad thing. In fact, her recent appearance drew positive feedback from fans regarding surgeries. A fan said:

“Who really cares that she has had a lot of work done. I’m sure if I have that kind of money, I would the same thing? She is absolutely gorgeous.”

But it’s not only The “Moonstruck” star’s appearance that’s making headlines. She’s also drawing attention to her love life as she’s dating a much younger man.
