Cher Turns Heads in Paris in Sequined Mini Skirt and Over-the-Knee Boots at Burlesque Press Tour

When Cher hit the international press tour for Burlesque in late 2010, she proved once again that age has nothing to do with bold fashion.

From sleek suede boots in Madrid to daring sequins in Paris, the legendary performer brought unapologetic glamour to every stop. Below, we revisit her standout looks — and how they stacked up next to her co-stars Kristen Bell, Christina Aguilera, and more.

Cher Turns Heads in Suede Boots at Madrid ‘Burlesque’ Photocall

In December 2010, the legendary singer and actress promoted the American backstage musical film Burlesque in Madrid.

Joining her at the Burlesque photocall were co-stars Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, and director Steven Antin. While Aguilera wowed in a striking red lace strapless dress, Cher delivered the most unforgettable look of the day.

The icon stepped out in a head-to-toe black ensemble, pairing sleek suede over-the-knee boots with a metallic statement jacket that shimmered under the lights. The result? A bold, age-defying moment that perfectly blended rock star edge with red carpet sophistication.

Cher proves that over-the-knee boots aren’t just for the younger crowd — she wears them with the confidence and style of someone who’s been setting trends for decades.

Her choice of black suede, rather than flashy patent leather, adds a touch of timeless sophistication that feels both bold and refined.

A few days later, Cher was spotted with her Burlesque co-stars in Paris to promote their new movie.

However, unlike her photocall in Madrid, where she dressed fabulously for her age, the iconic singer and actress opted for a much younger-looking outfit for her appearance in the City of Lights.

Christina Aguilera stands at 5 feet 1 ½ inches (156.2 cm), while Cher’s current height is 5 feet 5 ½ inches (166.4 cm), with a peak height of 5 feet 6 ¼ inches (168.3 cm). This indicates a height difference of approximately 4 inches between the two singers.

Cher is also taller than Kristen Bell, who is 5 feet 1 inch (154.9 cm), yet she is shorter than Cam Gigandet, whose height is 5 feet 11 ¼ inches (181 cm).

Kristen Bell’s Fashion Statement: Mastering the Art of Repeating Chic

If wearing such a fabulous cape can be considered an offense, here’s another repeat offender- Kristen Bell.

Kristen, the voice behind Gossip Girl, wore her precious white Vanessa Bruno cape for the first time two weeks earlier while heading out for a lunch date in London. A few days later, she was spotted wearing it at the Burlesque photo call in Paris.

Rarely will you see a star wear something off the carpet and then on it. But I can’t take it against Kristen for wanting to wear that cape again because it is oh-so-gorgeous! It is such an utterly precious, luxurious, and chic-looking cape.

Cher embraced a bold, youthful aesthetic in a short silver sequined mini skirt, paired with a simple black tank and a sleek leather jacket — a striking contrast to the more covered and classic looks worn by Christina Aguilera and Kristen Bell.

Cher’s look sparked plenty of conversation — some praised her confidence, while others questioned whether the outfit suited her age.

However, age limits don’t define personal style, and Cher remains one of many celebrities who continue to challenge conventional fashion norms with bold, head-turning choices.

Over the years, many stars have embraced sequins and shorter hemlines well beyond their 20s, proving that style knows no age. One standout example is Caitlyn Jenner, who made headlines with her dazzling mini-skirt moment.

Caitlyn Jenner’s Dazzling Sequins: Breaking Age Barriers in Fashion

In June 2015, Caitlyn Jenner stepped out in a vibrant, glittering mini skirt that turned heads. She paired the rainbow-colored piece with a structured sequined top, a black jacket, and classic black slingback pumps — creating a bold, fashion-forward ensemble.

Whether embracing sparkle for a night out or making a statement at a special event, Caitlyn’s confident styling reminds you that self-expression through fashion knows no age limits.

While mini skirts — especially sequined ones — are often seen on younger fashionistas, age doesn’t have to limit your style. What matters more is the occasion, your personal comfort, and how you style the look.

Sequins and shorter hemlines can absolutely work at any age when balanced with complementary pieces like structured jackets or opaque tights. Some prefer to tone down sparkle as they get older, while others, like Cher and Caitlyn Jenner, fully embrace bold fashion well into their 50s, 60s, and beyond.
