以张扬风格定义好莱坞魅力数十年的传奇时装设计师鲍勃·麦基于本周一去世,享年87岁。
他的公关专员珍妮尔·汉密尔顿向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实,麦基是在加利福尼亚州棕榈泉因肺炎去世的。
“我们怀着沉痛的心情宣布,鲍勃·麦基先生于今日离世,”他的社交媒体账号上的一篇帖子写道。“他充实度过了87年的人生,实现了成为时装和服装设计师的梦想,这也是他毕生所愿。他的才华与非凡设计将永存,继续为这个世界带来美好。”

受好莱坞魅力启发
麦基出生于洛杉矶郊区蒙特雷帕克,幼年便被Technicolor彩色音乐剧所打动,深深着迷于好莱坞电影的魅力。他曾为母亲和姐姐构思精致繁复的服装并手绘草图,还积极参与高中戏剧的服装和舞台设计。他曾进入帕萨迪纳城市学院学习广告和插画,随后在洛杉矶的乔伊纳德艺术学院进修服装设计。
据他个人官网的传记介绍,1966年他受邀为女演员、歌手兼舞者米琪·盖诺打造全新造型。
“这简直是天作之合,舞蹈、魅力与喜剧融为一体,”传记中写道。
这款造型吸引了卡罗尔·伯内特的注意,她聘请麦基为《卡罗尔·伯内特秀》设计服装,让这位传奇喜剧演员穿上了许多极具荒诞趣味的造型。
他与伯内特结下了深厚友谊,合作塑造了多个令人难忘的角色,比如诺拉·戴斯蒙德、尤尼斯,以及她在《乱世佳人》戏仿中饰演的斯嘉丽·奥哈拉——她将其命名为“斯佳丽·奥哈拉”,穿着挂着窗帘杆的绿色窗帘裙亮相。

在雪儿客串出演伯内特的节目并对麦基的设计青睐有加后,他的电视作品后续又延伸至《桑尼与雪儿秀》。他曾表示,雪儿饰演的拉弗妮一角,身着豹纹连体裤、佩戴垂坠耳环,是他最喜爱的设计之一。
当雪儿转战电影圈并受邀出席奥斯卡颁奖典礼时,他与雪儿开启了更为性感的合作风格。她在严肃的红毯上穿着的那些缀满珠饰、露腹的礼服,均出自麦基之手。

1974年,麦基陪同雪儿出席纽约大都会艺术博物馆慈善舞会,雪儿身着一件堪称史上最著名的“裸色礼服”之一:一件缀满珠饰的透视长裙,搭配白色羽毛袖套和白色羽毛裙摆。她与这件礼服登上了《时代》杂志封面。
2025年10月,他在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司晨间新闻》采访时表示,自己会手绘设计图,但观察明星的表演也是他设计流程的一部分。
“我的设计理念是观察他们的动作、舞台表现方式、走路姿态和坐姿,”他说。“这非常重要。你不能随便把一件裙子套在任何人身上。”

他补充道:“只有当你见到他们本人,观察他们的表演后,你才会明白他们就是那样的女人、那样的女孩。我的意思是,雪儿从来不会因为我为她设计的任何服装感到局促不安——从来没有。”
“明星专属设计师”
麦基被称为“明星专属设计师”,曾斩获9座艾美奖、1座托尼奖,还获得过3次奥斯卡提名,其中一次是为芭芭拉·史翠珊的《滑稽女郎》设计服装,史翠珊在片中身着一件透明蝙蝠袖礼服。他于2002年入选电视艺术与科学学院名人堂。

他曾为麦当娜、芭芭拉·史翠珊、莎朗·斯通、黛安娜·罗斯和朱莉娅·路易斯-德利法斯设计礼服,还为粉红佳人设计过演唱会服装。
当玛丽莲·梦露在为总统约翰·F·肯尼迪和民主党全国委员会举办的筹款活动上,以气息氤氲、充满魅惑的方式演唱《生日快乐》时,她身上那件透视缀珠礼服正是麦基的手绘草图作品。

他的设计风格影响了肯达尔·詹娜和贝拉·哈迪德的造型风格。如今,安雅·泰勒-乔伊、麦莉·赛勒斯和赞达亚等明星仍会穿着他的经典馆藏作品,赞达亚曾在2024年摇滚名人堂 induct 仪式上身着麦基设计的礼服向雪儿致敬。当泰勒·斯威夫特想要在2025年专辑《歌舞女郎人生》的封面上呈现歌舞女郎造型时,她便选用了麦基的原创设计。
“这有点意外,因为我之前都不知道她收藏了这些衣服,”麦基在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司晨间新闻》采访时谈到斯威夫特使用他的设计时说道。“她是从拉斯维加斯那家大型赌场的库房里借的。”
亮片和装饰细节是麦基的标志性创作手法——他还有其他几个绰号:“亮片苏丹”、“水钻拉杰王公”和“闪耀大师”——但他有一句简单的座右铭:“你不必试图改变任何人,你只需尽力让他们看起来比以往任何时候都更出彩。”他在2018年接受美联社采访时说道。
在百老汇舞台上,麦基曾为1971年的《锦城春色》和1995年的《水牛城月光》设计服装。他还为伯内特的revue《综合秀》、黛比·雷诺兹1976年的《黛比》、丽莎·明奈利1999年的《明奈利谈明奈利》设计过服装,而最近的作品则是《雪儿秀》的剧组服装,并因此斩获托尼奖。

麦基在20世纪80年代和90年代取得了一定的零售成功,1982年推出了成衣系列,最终该系列登上了纽约时装周的T台,他也是QVC的早期合作品牌之一。
麦基曾于1960年至1963年与歌舞女郎露露·波特结婚,他们的儿子、化妆师小罗伯特·戈登·麦基35岁时因艾滋病去世。他的长期伴侣、服装设计师雷·阿加扬于2011年离世。
他的遗属包括孙女艾莉莎·汤森、孙女凯拉和凯拉·汤森,以及露露·波特。

Bob Mackie, the legendary fashion designer whose exuberant style defined Hollywood glamour for decades, died Monday. He was 87.
He died in Palm Springs, California, from pneumonia, his publicist Jenelle Hamilton confirmed to CBS News.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Mr. Bob Mackie passed away today,” a post on his social media account said. “He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do. His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world.”

Inspired by Hollywood glamour
Born in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park, Mackie embraced the idea of Hollywood movie glamour as a young child, inspired by Technicolor musicals. He would dream up elaborate costumes for his mother and sister and sketch them, and he was active in costume and set design of his high school plays. He went to Pasadena City College to study advertising and illustration and then costume design at LA’s Chouinard Art Institute.
He was tapped to create a new look for actress, singer and dancer Mitzi Gaynor in 1966, according to a biography on his website.
“This was a marriage made in heaven with dance, glamour and comedy all in one package,” the biography read.
The look caught the attention of Carol Burnett, who hired him to design the wardrobe for “The Carol Burnett Show,” putting the legendary comedian in some of her kookiest getups.
He and Burnett had a close friendship and collaborated on memorable characters such as Nora Desmond, Eunice and her take on Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind” — called Starlet O’Hara — wearing her green curtain dress on its rods.

Mackie’s TV work continued on “The Sonny and Cher Show,” after Cher guest-starred on Burnett’s show and took a liking to him. He had said that her Laverne character, with her leopard-print jumpsuit and dangling earrings, was one of his favorites.
He and Cher took a much sexier turn when she moved to movies and was invited to the Academy Awards. All those beaded, belly-baring numbers she’d wear on the stuffy red carpets came from Mackie.

Mackie attended the 1974 Met Gala with Cher on his arm, dressed in what is perhaps one of the most famous so-called naked dresses of all time: a sheer beaded gown with white feathered sleeves and a white feathered skirt. She and the dress ended up on the cover of Time magazine.
He told “CBS Mornings” in October 2025 that he sketched his designs, but watching the stars perform was part of his process.
“My philosophy is watch what they do, how they work on stage, how they walk, how they sit,” he said. “It is very important. You can’t just put a dress on anybody.”

He added: “You just don’t know until you meet them and watch them perform that they’re that woman, that kind of a girl. I mean Cher was never intimidated by one thing I ever put on her — ever.”
“Designer to the Stars”
Dubbed the “Designer to the Stars,” Mackie won nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award and was nominated for three Oscars, including one for Barbra Streisand’s “Funny Lady,” in which she wore a sheer batwing gown. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame in 2002.

He designed gowns for Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, Diana Ross and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and concert costumes for Pink.
When Marilyn Monroe delivered a breathy, seductive take on “Happy Birthday” at a fundraiser for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she did it in a sheer, beaded gown that Mackie dreamed up in a sketch.

His influence can be seen in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. His archival pieces are worn today by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya, the latter of whom wore a Mackie gown to honor Cher at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. When Taylor Swift wanted to look like a showgirl on the cover of her 2025 album “The Life of a Showgirl,” she turned to some Mackie originals.
“It was kind of a surprise because I didn’t know she had those clothes,” Mackie told “CBS Mornings” of Swift using one of his designs. “She borrowed them from the place in Vegas, the big casino.”
Sequins and embellishment were natural tools for Mackie — other nicknames were the Sultan of Sequins, the Rajah of Rhinestones and the Guru of Glitter — but he had a simple motto: “You don’t try to change anybody, you just try to make them look better than ever,” he told The Associated Press in 2018.
On Broadway, Mackie dressed the casts of “On the Town” in 1971 and “Moon Over Buffalo” in 1995. He also created costumes for Burnett in the revue “Putting It Together,” Debbie Reynolds in “Debbie” in 1976, Liza Minnelli in “Minnelli on Minnelli” in 1999 and, most recently, the cast of “The Cher Show,” winning his Tony Award.

Mackie had some retail success in the 1980s and ’90s, launching a ready-to-wear line in 1982 that would ultimately land on the runway at New York Fashion Week, and he was an early partner of QVC.
Mackie was married to showgirl Lulu Porter from 1960 until 1963; their son, makeup artist Robert Gordon Mackie Jr., died from AIDS at age 35. Costume designer Ray Aghayan, his longtime partner, died in 2011.
He is survived by his granddaughter Alyssa Townsend, his granddaughters Kyla and Keira Townsend, and Porter.
