Same Pants, No Problem

Before giving her Icon Award speech, Cher took the stage for a performance. She rocked a pair of baggy pants, which she paired with a tight sparkly top.

“There are people who say, ‘Doesn’t that bitch have more than one pair of pants?'” Cher joked on stage. “I’ve had these pants for 40 years. I thought we should come here and accept this award together.”
