Warhol thought of Sedgwick as Monroe, describing her as "so beautiful, but so morbid", adding: "I was really intrigued." In the end, the superstar also ended in tragedy.

Andy Warhol and Sedgwick spent countless wild nights at the Studio 54 disco club, which also featured Halston and his Muse Liza Minnelli.

Halston is credited with developing Minnelli's style, including her signature pixie hairstyle.

In 1973, Minnelli wore a bright yellow dress and sweater to the Academy Awards to accept her award for best actress.

The two were inseparable in the 70s and 80s, attending many events together and traveling together.

Their friendship lasted for most of Halston's career, and even after he was ousted from his own design house, he continued to design most of Minnelli's stage costumes until his death from AIDS-related cancer in 1990. Even after his death, Minnelli's support for Halston remained unwavering.

The relationship between male fashion designers, artists and their female MUSES has gradually moved away from "Hollywood", not only because of the trend of diversity, but also because female MUSES are more able to express and maintain their own personal characteristics, and femininity is no longer fully represented by "naked" and "curvy".

One night in 1967, Yves Saint Laurent first met Betty Catroux on the dance floor of the Paris club NewJimmy's, where the 1.83-meter blonde was dancing.

At the age of 31, the designer already had his own fashion house and was all the rage for offering revolutionary modern fashion to women.

Saint Laurent saw the androgynous ideal woman in Catroux, who sat majestic in the front row of the show in her large black glasses, blouse and pantsuit.

Created by Saint Laurent and performed by Catroux, this tacit collaboration makes the leather jacket and Amazon boots become part of the female personality.

The image of the "Muse" has also become more self-centered and diversified, gradually moving from being objectified to being in power.

As Loulou de La Falaise, another of Saint Laurent's MUSES and confidants, who worked closely with him for decades, put it, "Before I didn't think the word 'Muse' applied to someone who worked hard, but now that Yves Saint Laurent is history, I've become a part of history, so maybe being a Muse isn't such a bad thing."

American designer Bob Mackie was first known to the public and is also associated with the dress Monroe wore at Kennedy's birthday party.

Working as an assistant to film costume designer Jean Louis, he designed the nearly transparent dress encrusted with 2,500 sparkling rhinrhinos - also known as Monroe's "second skin."

Sequins, feathers and barely covered silhouettes of the chest, hips and legs would later become part of Mackie's signature design, carried forward by Cher, the Muse with whom he was closely associated throughout his life.

The raven-haired singer has been a Muse for costume designers since the late '60s.

Although Cher initially won the public's favor with her fringe outfits and rebellious attitude, all the glitter on stage helped the two find a common passion.

Over the years, Mackie created many of her history-making outfits, the most famous being the crystal and feathered sheer dress Cher wore to the 1974 Met Gala in New York.

The dress, which showed her body looming over her face, made such a splash that Cher wore it on the cover of Time magazine.

The same is the presentation of the body, if the Monroe of the year was passive, objectified, and ended in a tragic death, then Cher at this time seems to stand on the high ground of initiative.

In 1988, the news of the year was dominated by a sheer black dress she wore at the Oscars, also by Mackie.

The designer's famous phrase, "The woman who wears my clothes is not afraid of being noticed," is vividly illustrated by Cher.

Cher wanted to wake people up with something that would make everyone think she was naked. Her ultra-thin dress, and the string of scandals she created with Mackie, made her the target of criticism at the time, but Cher didn't seem to care, and became the first woman to show her belly button on prime time television.

Now 75 years old, Cher is still active in the entertainment industry with her "ageless beauty."

In a career that spanned more than half a century, she sang, made movies, acted in plays, had plastic surgery, retired from music and returned in a rock style; Her end-of-century farewell tour entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest and most lucrative tour by a female artist.

As Mackie and Cher's relationship shows, the relationship between creator and Muse is no longer a one-way street, but a mutually fulfilling one.

More than 2,000 years after the ancient Greek mythology of the Muse, the MUSES from Mount Olympus can still sing and dance, show off their style, inspire, bring pleasure and joy to a party, but they can still be heroes.
