Pop icon Cher showed off her ageless figure in two sexy looks as she performed at the Dolce and Gabbana party in Italy on Saturday.
The Believe singer, 79, was a guest at the star-studded event, which was situated on Via Veneto street - known for being one of the most expensive and lavish hotspots in the city.
She looked as elegant as ever in a lace black dress, which had a red built-in corset, before she later changed into a different look.
Cher appeared to be singing at the high-end fashion designer's bash, and was in good spirits as she put on a show for the audience.
In her lacy dress look, she donned a long black wig, with her hair in soft waves.
She later changed into a blonde wig to match her khaki green two-piece, which consisted of a tailored shirt top and bottoms.
Back in February, Cher's status as one of the world's most legendary performers of stage and screen shone through once again when one of her iconic costumes sold for more than two-times than originally estimated at auction.
With over 200 lots up for grabs during the Julien's Auctions Bold Luxury: The Limelight Edit, based in Beverly Hills, bidding turned into a fierce battle at times.
One of the highlights of the glitzy event turned out to be the Cher, stage-worn If I Could Turn Back Time costume, designed by Bob Mackie, that sparked controversy back in the day.
The revealing ensemble, which was first featured in the music video for her hit 1989 song, features a black, figure-hugging bodysuit, also dubbed a catsuit, with mesh cutouts, that was often paired with a black leather jacket and knee-high boots.
Originally estimated to sell for between $60,000 and $80,000, a 'heated bidding war' erupted during the exhilarating live and online auction, ultimately resulting in the Cher ensemble selling for a whopping $162,500.
After debuting in the If I Could Turn Back Time music video, which was shot on board of the battleship USS Missouri, where it showed her straddling a cannon and her tattooed buttocks, the revealing number set off a wave of controversy.
In fact, some military personnel condemned the video, directed by the late Marty Callner, while other family groups protested against its broadcast, because they deemed it offensive for the Navy.
In the wake of those protests many television networks refused to show it due to the singer's revealing outfit, including MTV in July 1989.

Eventually the massive music television network amended the move by allowing the video to be shown only after 9 pm, but by then Cher was already reaping the rewards of the controversy as a must see.
The pop rock, or soft rock, song was written specifically for Cher by Diane Warren, who produced it in collaboration with Guy Roche.
Featuring instrumentation from guitars, piano and drums, it received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who applauded its overall production and Cher's vocal performance.
Some critics and fans even considered it to be a highlight of her Heart Of Stone (1989) studio album, which was the nineteenth at that point in her career.
Commercially, Heart of Stone turned out to be a milestone for her when it reached number 10 in the United States, which was a first for her as a solo artist.
