Cher takes the stage in colorfully chic ensembles

Cher took her tune, “If I Could Turn Back Time” literally on Thursday night.

The 67-year-old music legend rocked a sold out show at the TD Garden in Boston wearing a retrospective of her most iconic outfits — an impressive six costume changes to animate her rightly-named “Dressed To Kill” tour. Unless you’ve been sleeping for the past 50 years, you know that entails a lot of skin and an ample amount of sparkle.

One costume, a Native American getup complete with floor-length feather headdress, harkened back to ’70s-era Cher, when the tawny, raven-haired beauty was singing about being part-Cherokee Indian in songs like “Half Breed” (1973). Another recalled Cher’s mid-’80s decadence — a bedazzled sheath with the same Cleopatra-cum-Vegas-showgirl motifs that made her 1986 Bob Mackie Academy Award number one of — if not the most — infamous in Oscars history. Yet another costume featured heart-shaped rhinestone nipple pasties. That one may lack precedent, but the effect was still pure Cher.

The pièce de résistance was a shimmery ensemble straight out of 1989’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” video (you know, the one where she got down on a battleship in a sheer body stocking, biker jacket, and thigh-high boots). She brought each element back and didn’t miss a beat. “I can still get into my ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ outfit, and I’m almost 100,” the singer joked. Talk about unsinkable.
