Cher, 78, could be mistaken for Kim Kardashian, 44, as she dons a cowgirl hat at New York airport

Heads were turned on Friday as a glamorous woman walked through the terminal and out the door at JFK Airport in New York City, but who was the raven haired beauty? 

Was it reality star Kim Kardashian, 44, or one her lookalikes? No. It turned out to be timeless beauty, Cher, 78. 

The Cher: The Memoir author looked as youthful as ever wrapped up in a puffy leather jacket with a black and white tie-dye scarf wrapped around her neck and cascading down her arm.

The Oscar winner wore a black Western hat decorated with precious stones on her head and styled her long, black hair in loose waves. 

The rest of her ensemble includes a black zip up athleisure jacket, black pants with a white brooch-like pattern on the outer leg and thick soled black shoes.

The hitmaker appeared to be wearing minimal makeup and accessorized with dark sunglᴀsses as she walked to her waiting car.

It was unclear why the ‘Goddess of Pop’ was in the Big Apple. 

The Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again actress promoted Part One of  her memoir, which topped the New York Times Bestseller list for some six weeks before dropping to 10th place in a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

‘Does that surprise you?’ the host asked. ‘Oh, God, yes,’ the Billboard Icon Award winner answered, who will release a Part Two in November 2025.

‘I didn’t want to squish it together because you’d be carrying it around like this and not be able to read it,’ she said demonstrating what it would be like to carry such a large book, ‘and I wanted to write the first one to see how it was and did I do a good job and will people be interested.’ she said

‘And then I have a whole ‘nother life when I started to do movies,’ she told the audience giving a hint as to what the second part of her life story might focus on. 

When the topic of her marriage to her first husband, the late Sonny Bono and their popular Sonny and Cher television show, the I Got You Babe singer said, ‘Doing the show kept us together, because on the show we had so much fun. We were equal. I loved it. We loved it. We worked so well together, we had so much fun, and it kept us closer longer than I really wanted.’

Cher was 15 when she met the 28-year-old ᴀssistant to rock music producer Phil Specter.  The couple married in 1964 and welcomed their child Chasтιтy, now Chaz, in 1969 before divorcing in 1975.

At the time of the interview, the Believe singer claimed she hadn’t even begun working on Part Two of her memoir.

‘I was late. I was at the end of everything and I finished it when they had to publish it, ‘she explained referring to Part One.  ‘I think I’ll be better this time,’ she claimed. 

Explaining how she went about becoming a woman recognized by only one name she said, ‘you have to prove (to a court) that someone could know you, like, the populace could know you by that name. It’s not easy,’ she explained.

When asked if she could ‘turn back time,’ which year would she pick to revisit. ‘Forty was my best year,’ she stated, ‘I changed my life. I started to work in film and I got respect and different things.’  Cher began working on her Academy Award winning role in Moonstruck in 1986.

The versatile entertainer doesn’t have any plans to perform in front of the camera at this time, but she has signed on to executive producer the upcoming fright flick Big Baby, starring Brandon Scott, Krsy Fox and her son, Chaz Bono.
