• She cycled through multiple archival Bob Mackie designs across the show, including a sequined piece from the Spring 1986 collection known as the Swamp Dress.
• After the broadcast, she hosted a Studio 54–themed Sabrina54 party in New York wearing a 1975 Mackie bodysuit originally made for Cher’s “Shame Shame Shame” duet with Tina Turner.
