Even the most cynical fashion people let loose a squeal of delight when Marc Jacobs appeared on the Met Gala red carpet with none other than the lady, the legend -- Cher. The non-stop parade of one-named divas -- Madonna, Beyoncé, Rihanna -- suddenly seemed a little less special next to the superstar who's been a household name for 50 years. So imagine the hysteria created in fashion circles today when the first photo of Cher in Jacobs' Fall 2015 campaign was leaked. The designer has a history of using celebrity models like Victoria Beckham, Miley Cyrus and Winona Ryder and for this campaign, he tapped photographer David Sims to shoot Cher in a dress and gloves inspired by Diana Vreeland's apartment. The image was unveiled in today's WWD as well as Instagrammed by Jacobs collaborator Katie Grand who creative directs all of his campaigns. Even in a season filled with other campaigns starring living icons -- Joan Didion in Céline, Joni Mitchell in Saint Laurent -- Cher and Jacobs leave them all in the dust.
