Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach paid homage to Cher by styling her in vintage Bob Mackie. Cher has been a notable Bob Mackie muse for decades, wearing countless glamorous gowns and outfits by the designer throughout the 70s and 80s.

Cher’s speech was a mix of humour and empowerment. Reflecting on the honour, she joked, “It was easier getting divorced from two men than getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.” She added a message for women: “We’ve been down and out, but we keep going, we are somebody, we are special.”
