“After the movie… I ran home with a lot of the clothes and I tried to wear them in real life but then I realized I’m not Cher, so this doesn’t make any sense. I still want to just put on some jeans and a T-shirt and my tennis shoes, so… I didn’t find a way to use those in my real life and I gave them all away. But, over time I have grown to appreciate fashion and the art of it, and as long as it’s done responsibly.”

Nonetheless, the actress has grown a lot over the years and has created the fashion sense that she follows in real life. And that’s not what Cher used to follow!
