Bob Mackie

American, b. 1939

Vintage Bob Mackie dresses are a fashion favorite, and with good reason. The legendary Monterey, California–born fashion designer has accrued an enviable list of awards that speak to his unparalleled influence on costumes for screen and theatrical performances: Mackie has nine Emmy awards to his name, a Tony award, a CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award, three Academy Award nominations and more.

As a child, Bob Mackie was enamored of Portuguese-born Brazilian dancer and actress Carmen Miranda. The love of film shared by his sister and mother proved contagious for Mackie, and he marveled at the richness and beauty he found in ballet. He wasn’t interested in fashion so much as he was in entertainment and went on to, fortunately, find work in television during the 1960s, specifically in programming that seemed to encompass all of what he’d grown to love about the arts.

As a fashion sketch artist, Mackie collaborated with Hollywood’s greatest costume designers, working with the legendary Edith Head at Paramount Studios as soon as he’d finished school. From there, he secured work with French-born, Hollywood costume designer Jean Louis, sketching the iconic Louis dress worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Mackie would spend most of his career as a costume designer, creating iconic pieces like the Gone With the Wind parody costume (currently in the Smithsonian) for The Carol Burnett Show — where he worked for more than a decade — and campy, opulent dresses for The Cher Show on Broadway, for which he won the Tony award (he also designed bedazzled stage costumes for Sonny and Cher's 1976–77 run at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe). But he had a considerable influence on mainstream fashion as well.

The figure-hugging, feathered and fringed gowns and cocktail dresses Mackie created were worn by stars like Cher and Diana Ross on the red carpet and concert tours. Similar designs of his — dazzling evening dresses of black or vibrant red silk, some beaded with rhinestones or embellished with ostrich feathers or navy blue sequins — made their way into his mainstream fashion collection. His ready-to-wear line debuted in 1982.

Bob Mackie has always said that his clothing was “for the woman who is not afraid to be noticed,” and any woman in one of his signature dresses would definitely turn heads. There is sparkle and an element of grandeur in his garments, whether they were crafted for singer Elton John, a universally renowned fashion icon in his own right, or the woman next door, donning one of Mackie’s spectacular creations and feeling like a movie star herself.

Sexy vintage 1980s BOB MACKIE for SAKS 5th AVENUE black and white plunging low back evening nightgown or evening gown! Features a sheer black and white mesh bodice, back and sleeves. Simply slips over the head and stretches to fit. Slinky and flattering, this is a timeless addition to any wardrobe that is certain to turn heads. Originally designed as a nightgown, this can easily be worn on the Red Carpet, or an y event. Impeccably well made, with the highest attention to details. In great unworn condition. Made in USA Approximately Size Small / Medium (tons of stretch) Model in video is US Size 6, and 5’8 feet tall Measurements: 32-38 inch bust 28-30 inch waist Up to 44 inch hips 58 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem A striking vintage Bob Mackie nightgown created for Saks Fifth Avenue during the late 1980s, beautifully capturing the era’s fascination with lingerie-inspired glamour and elegant bias silhouettes. This dramatic design features a fluid black satin skirt cut on the bias, allowing the fabric to drape and move effortlessly along the body. The bodice is crafted from sheer illusion mesh adorned with an abstract dotted pattern, creating a visually captivating contrast against the satin while highlighting Mackie’s signature theatrical aesthetic. The sculpted bustline and fitted long sleeves create a striking silhouette, while the deep scoop back adds a sensual, elegant finish. Although originally designed as luxury boudoir or hostess wear, the silhouette reads unmistakably like a formal evening gown and can easily be styled for black-tie events. This versatility is exactly why late 1980s Mackie pieces remain highly sought after today. With the right accessories—statement earrings, heels, or a vintage fur—this piece transitions seamlessly from boudoir elegance to modern eveningwear. The abstract illusion mesh pattern, combined with the fluid bias satin skirt, reflects the period’s shift toward sleek, body-skimming silhouettes that defined late 1980s and early 1990s glamour. A rare and captivating example of Bob Mackie’s ability to merge sensuality, drama, and timeless sophistication. ⸻ Vintage Bob Mackie nightgown, Bob Mackie Saks Fifth Avenue gown, vintage Bob Mackie dress...
