Cher walked the red carpet at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Oct. 19 in an all-black ensemble featuring a textured long-sleeve top and a black skirt with zipper embellishments on the bottom. She paired the look with a belt which featured chains and straps hanging down on either side.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" songstress was one of the inductees at the ceremony, joking during her acceptance speech that "it was easier getting divorced from two men than getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame."
During her acceptance speech, she also reflected on the highs and lows of her livelihood, explaining that throughout her career, "people have told me that I was finished, that I was through, that I have 10 minutes," but that she learned from her mom to always persevere.
"The one thing I have never done, I never give up," Cher said. "I’m talking to the women. We’ve been down and out, and we keep striving and we keep going. We are somebody. We are special."

For the performance, the singer had an outfit change, appearing on stage in a black long-sleeve blouse cinched in at the waist with a belt, paired with a miniskirt and long thigh-high heels.
Cher referenced how much "Believe" has meant to her over the years during her acceptance speech, while reflecting on her career, saying "'Believe' changed the sound of music."
"I’ve had really bad things happen. I was dropped by four labels," she said. "When it was completely over, I did ‘Believe,’ and it was like, ‘Yes!’ I’ve just been really lucky, and I have had number ones for seven decades, which surprises me, because I’m a good singer. I’m not a great singer."
