During an interview on ” Good Morning Britain ” on Monday, the singer spoke about what she’s been up to these days, including working on new music as well as an upcoming memoir.
The 77-year-old revealed that she has no plans to stop wearing jeans or cut her hair, even when she’s 80, because she “keeps up with the trends.”
“I just can’t believe I will be 80 at some point, sooner than I wish,” Cher said.
“And I will still be wearing my jeans, and I will still be wearing long hair, and I will still be doing the same stuff I’ve always done.”
The singer — who is known for her iconic looks throughout her decades-long career — even walked the runway for Balmain in September 2022 while dressed in a silver bodysuit.

The “Believe” singer — whose mother, Georgia Holt , lived until she was 96 — then credited her good genes for helping her stay youthful.
“But I don’t know if not feeling old makes you younger,” Cher added.”I keep up with the trends, I have lots of young friends.I have old friends too.”
And despite her youthful appearance, she says that she’s not trying to feel young.
“I’m not trying to be young — I am who I am,” the singer said.”I’m just getting along.”
Cher previously revealed some of her tips for maintaining her youthful appearance in ” Forever Fit ,” a health and wellness book that she wrote alongside author Robert Haas in the early ’90s.
“I quit smoking.I don’t do drugs.
I never drink coffee and almost never drink alcohol or eat red meat, so I’m way ahead of the game,” Cher wrote in her book, per an excerpt published by People Magazine in January 1991.
“I try to avoid foods with a high fat content because they make me sluggish and keep my weight up,” she added.”Dairy products are not good for us.I weaned myself from whole milk to nonfat milk—if I’m having milk at all.”.
