Maybe everyone is being too harsh on Miley Cyrus. Sure, her MTV VMAs performance was pretty scandalous — even by modern society’s standards, but if you seriously think about it, back in the 80s and even way before that, iconic stars like Madonna and Cher also raised more than a few eyebrows with their unusual outfits and daring performances.
Now, speaking of Cher in particular, the legendary singer was spotted arriving at the Ed Sullivan Theatre last week for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

And as expected, she graced the event in a rather odd outfit that involved a lot of leather plus yellow-gold accouterments.
To make her outfit even more interesting, Cher paired her look with a two-tone scarf in purple and pink. Coupled with her platinum blonde locks, the singer painted quite a picture.

Let’s not mention the age-appropriate dressing issue here because Cher is beyond that. She’s simply Cher, and she can wear whatever she wants. And while we wish she employed a much better stylist for the occasion, she didn’t look so bad. We secretly crush on that jacket as much as we hate to admit it.
Yes, she should have left the skirt and gold-coin belt at home, but the jacket had potential. Plus, at least she tried to add a pop of color to the all-black outfit. We like how the purple-pink scarf brightened up her face.
Like printed scarves, two-tone ones are just as catchy. They draw attention and provide depth, dimension, and drama to keep an outfit from looking bland.
