Remembering Cilla Black: The Showbiz Icon’s Fashion Through The Years In Pictures
ICYMI, beloved presenter Priscilla Maria Veronica White OBE, or Cilla Black as we all knew her, died at her home in Spain yesterday – 2 August 2015.
The sparky Liverpudlian singer, actress and entertainer had the ability to light up the room with both her dynamic personality and often-flamboyant outfit choices. Through the decades, she proved to be an unlikely style icon and managed to pull off more than one dubious get-up, showing that she really was a woman who paved her own path and wore whatever the hell she wanted to.
In remembrance of ‘our Cilla’, as she’s being dubbed, we take a look back at the star’s most fabulous wardrobe choices over the decade.
Pulling off a matching trouser suit like no other in the late ‘60s, Cilla proved that she was a woman not to be messed with. [Photo: Rex]
Boy oh boy did ‘60s fashion look good on our Cilla. The then-singer looked incredible in this little monochrome number and pulled off white tights with such aplomb. [Photo: Rex]
We love early shot of the starlet clad in a lime green knit and sporting those iconic big ‘60s lashes. [Photo: Rex]
Looking just as fabulous as ever on the set of ‘Surprise Surprise’ in 1984, Cilla totally worked that embellished red number. We kinda wish ‘80s fashion would come back into fashion after seeing this pic… [Photo: Rex]
A sequin snakeskin jacket could only ever have look good on Cilla. The redhead definitely had the wow-factor in this early ‘90s look. [Photo: Rex]
We don’t know how she did it, but Cilla even looked good dressed as a cowgirl. [Photo: Rex]
She may’ve been nearing 60 when this photo was taken, but Cilla proved that she had a better bod than most women half her age. And how about that leotard?! [Photo: Rex]
Cilla didn’t let her style slip in her later years. Photographed here in 2005, the British star wowed in an olive organza gown, adorned with diamontes. [Photo: Rex]
Clad in yet more sequins, Cilla looked every inch the glam lady that she was on the red carpet last year. [Photo: Rex]
You’ll be missed, Cilla. [Photo: Rex]
