Cher won rave reviews for her performance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday – but it's not just her vocal talents that stole the show, her head-turning outfit did too!
The 77-year-old closed out the annual parade, performing just before the arrival of Santa Claus, by singing a rendition of her track, 'DJ Play a Christmas Song' from her very first holiday album, 'Christmas'.
Taking to the stage for her headline performance, Cher looked as youthful as ever in a pair of skintight leather pants that boasted bejeweled embellishments and perfectly hugged her toned legs, which looked never-ending in a pair of killer heels.

Her raven hair was worn down in voluminous waves and her smooth complexion was highlighted by glossy lips and vivid pink eyeshadow. To accessorize her ensemble, the 'Believe' singer added sheer black fingerless gloves and ornate, gold dangly earrings that dropped to her collarbone.
Cher was introduced by 'Today' star Hoda Kotb, who said: "We've been ready for this performance all morning long. It is finally here. What can be said about this person that hasn't already been said?"
Hoda added: "She is an icon in the truest sense of the word. No one does it like she does."

"Am I the only one who thought Cher just knocked her performance out of the park in the Thanksgiving Day Parade?! To think she's 77! Dolly ain't got [expletive] on her," one person penned on X.
A second said: "Umm @cher just crushed her @Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade performance." A third added: "Absolutely living for @cher on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade." A fourth wrote: "That time Cher saved the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

While she continued singing, a mix of red, green, and gold colors appeared on the NBC broadcast, as well as a YouTube TV feed. However, there appeared to be no complaints about the glitch, with viewers instead left in awe by Cher's stage presence.
Other entertainment at the 97th annual parade included songs from David Foster and Katharine McPhee, Jon Batiste, Brandy, Jessie James Decker, and performances from the casts of some Broadway shows.
Another surprise during the parade was an appearance by Beyonce. The global superstar featured in a special pre-recorded video to wish her fans a Happy Thanksgiving and also share the most recent trailer for her upcoming Renaissance concert film.
