Cher returned to the awards show stage at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in a fashion that can only be described as “triumphant” after 15 years away. The 71-year-old (yes, 71) superstar performed two of her biggest hits, “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”, to an audience on its feet just before accepting the 2017 Billboard Music Awards ICON Award, an honor that has been bestowed upon Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez.
Cher rocked two sexy costumes: the first a rhinestone-encrusted fringed wrap over a rhinestone bra and panty set, the second her iconic black wig, see-through black unitard and black leather jacket combo.

During her acceptance speech, she thanked her mother, ex-husband Sonny Bonno and many others who supported her throughout her fabulous career. She even made a humble brag and put us all to shame when she said she can hold a five-minute plank.
“I think luck has so much to do with my success,” she said. “I think it was mostly luck and a little bit of something thrown in.”
That “something” is called talent and hard work, Cher — you’ve earned it. Ahead are photos from her legendary performance — be sure to pick your jaw up off the ground when you’re finished browsing.
