Ellen turns back time in Cher's iconic outfit Ellen shared a picture of herself wearing the iconic outfit made famous by Cher. ELLEN DeGeneres has strutted her stuff wearing Cher's iconic sheer bodysuit. But it was all an illusion. Ellen, 55, shared a picture of herself wearing the outfit to promote Cher's appearance on her talk show on Wednesday. Cher originally wore the shocking outfit in her If I Could turn back time video clip back in 1989. Ellen superimposed her head on Cher's iconic outfit, worn in the If I could turn back time video clip. The talk show host joked that they'd both shown up wearing the same black and beaded outfit. I had to change my outfit before the show. Cher and I were wearing the same thing," she wrote, promoting the interview. But Ellen had cheated - and merely superimposed her head on a photo of the raunchy attire. Cher, 66, is currently promoting her mother Georgia Holt's new album. She appeared on Ellen's show alongside Holt and sister Georganne LaPiere. They are on the media circuit promoting the 87-year-old's first album, Honky Tonk Woman.
