Tina Turner was known for her powerful voice, memorable performances and stunning dresses, one of which can be viewed inside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Driving the news: Turner died May 24 at her home in Switzerland. She was 83.
The details: The dress in question comes from Turner's 1990 Foreign Affair tour of Europe.
- The trek, billed as Turner's "farewell" (it wasn't), broke the attendance record for European tours, drawing about 3 million people over 121 shows.
The intrigue: The sparkling, see-through garment was designed by Azzedine Alaïa, one of many looks the late Tunisian designer — nicknamed "The King of Cling" — created for Turner.
- The dress has been a centerpiece of the Rock Hall's Legends of Rock exhibit on the fifth floor since 2021.
If you go: The dress will remain where it is, while the museum moves several of its other Turner artifacts to the In Memoriam exhibit on the third floor this week.
