“I will still be wearing my jeans,” Cher candidly said in the interview. “I will still have long hair, and I will continue doing what I’ve always done.”
Many people assume that long hair and jeans symbolize youth. But for Cher, it has been her image throughout her illustrious career, and has no intentions of letting go of her trend. She mentioned her conversation with her friend, Paulette, where they discussed giving up their long hair and trading their jeans for another style. However, Cher said that the moment for her still has not come and credits her magnificent genes.
After all, her mother, Georgia Holt, lived to be 96.

She challenges the norms of life, and her insights have been instilled in women worldwide. She encourages women to live to the fullest regardless of age and not be discouraged by naysayers.
