Cher presented Lady GaGa the 2010 MTV Video Of The Year Award in September. The 64 year-old presented the award while dressed in a scanty costume based on one she first made famous in 1989.
Cher's costumes are the stuff of legend, a fact not lost on Lady GaGa who seems to have fused Cher, Madonna, David Bowie and a bit of Cyndi Lauper into her own defiant and award-winning diva stage persona. In a weird, cosmic sense, Cher presented Lady GaGa more than an award: Cher has passed the torch of outrageous energy and creative spirit that paved the way for GaGa's incredible talent to meet with her current success.
