Diana Ross/The Bob Mackie connection: Diana Ross wore Bob Mackie when he was still Robert Mackie! 

Bob Mackie is an absolute genius and Diana Ross was one of his many muses.

This was just great. Big thank you. Yes, she does make it all look so effortless, elegant.

And Miss Ross is still making it look easy at... well shall we say a more mature age... Thank you for the upload.

Wonderful video. Thank you for the fun.

I love Diana thanks so much , she is the epitome of class

It was wonderful. Just love her

WE enjoy you "More and Moooooore".

I found the passing on of the gowns to be very interesting. I never knew about this. Thank you for this video as always. ❤

The white gown it’s one of the best gowns ever. She looks fabulous, gave her an aura, a glow embraces her charisma….The movement, silhouette, color…She looked happy, rejoiced and singing like this moment and I love it….

I cant believe i never noticed the the "New" Supremes wore the original Supremes gowns. I was lucky enough a few yrs ago to see some of those gowns up close and personal ,when Mary Wilson was touring the country with them.

Love you diana ross

I never heard The Law of the Circus! Great education. Love your videos.

Your absolute passion for fashion and design is so strongly communicated throughout this video as is your love and devotion for Diana Ross. Always a pleasure to hear your views and opinions on this wonderful musical icon.

Great information abouy this very talented designer, He also did stuff for Cher and Carol Burnet

Hey Philippe, How fabulous was she at Red Rock in all that wind a fews evenings ago? She looked amazing!

By the time Diana was hosting Midnight Special, she was a huge star. The biggest star. She wasn't wearing anything she didn't want to wear.

Just wonderful. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information about miss Ross and her gowns

Thank you for your Fantastic work.

Great video🌟

Your show is so exciting to me.

I’ve always been curious about the watermelon gown and why Mackie would do that. But, as you said, to Diana’s credit, she dazzled in the gown and showed she was the star of the show - no matter what she was wearing.

Love Bob Mackie

I didn't know One of her Fashion designer Was Iranian. Thanks to you I know now.

Being a HUGE Bob Mackie fan myself,the one piece that i would just love to see up close and personal, was the nude gown Cher wore to the Met Gala and on the cover of Times magazine. Would love to see the inside of that gown,its truly amazing,have u talked about that gown in your other videos? Ive just discovered your channel. I heard Cher once say she keeps it in a shoebox on a shelf in her closet, i love that image.

✨✨✨✨✨✨💐💐💐💐💞💞💞💞💞💞

I love the care your father took to talk to you about "Your star." 🥹🥹🥹

Bravissimo!!! Mackie and Mugler, I would say the designers that best complimented her style. Just as Herb Ritts, Harry Langford and Victor Skrebeneski were the photographers That immortalized those gowns. Interesting being a person of color, the thought of the watermelon dress being bigoted, just didn’t stick. I never understood why black people were/are ridiculed for fried chicken and watermelon. Both foods are available and popular in a wide array of countries. BUT as you were setting up the clip, i automatically knew it was the watermelon dress. Jackie and Ross were nominated for Costume Design Emmys in her television specials from “T.C.B.” To “Red Hot Rhythm and Blues”. The peacock blue gown looks almost aubergine in that photo. I have it framed from a photo book. (I keep hoping to find/meet a younger maybe newer fan to pass on my vast collection……most of my friends (past/present) already have their own collection). I have two storage rooms of memorabilia that when I become an expat will probably be left behind (sigh). Thanks to technology you can digitally store so much that the memories will live on.

Does the book on the shelf change every video?? I can’t keep up :) really like that top btw

Great analysis. I think there are very few French people who know Mackie and Halston. I think costumery and fashion design are very things with very different goals. Mackie and Halston took very different approaches to construction, Halston being an innovator of cut and structure. As I am not a POC, I don’t think it’s up to me to comment on whether someone should perceive the watermelon dress as racially charged, but I do think that fruit motifs in general are common in fashion. Bill Blass created a beautiful sequined watermelon jacket in the 1980s.

The squiggle beadwork is called cracked ice.

That's such a beautiful shirt you're wearing. Who made it?

Hello!

OMG, I think they made a Diana Ross Barbie, wearing a Mackie dress... I think they did it with a Cher Barbie as well. We are all so amazed that Diana is still active. My favorite designer is/was Claude Montana... Whatever happened to those vanguard designers of the 70s and 80s?

How tall is Diana, she looks like she could be 5/8?
