Let’s talk about someone who’s been lighting up the stage for over half a century. Marie Osmond, at 60 years young, has had a career so illustrious that it’s almost hard to believe. But amidst all the fame and fortune, she’s managed to hold onto some pretty special memories. One of those treasures? The very first costume she wore on her journey into the world of entertainment, back on The Andy Williams Show in 1964.
From Child Star to Timeless Icon: Marie’s Showbiz Journey
Now, here’s the deal: Marie didn’t just toss away her early showbiz mementos. Nope, she’s kept them close to her heart. On an episode of The Talk, aired on April 9th, she proudly showed off a piece of her history. “This is the very first costume made for me when I did my first television show,” she shared with her cohosts. But get this—she didn’t stash it in some dusty old closet. “I framed it,” she said, adding a personal touch to the story. “And those are my shoes down there. Silver ones. I was only 3 years old, and Andy introduced me as the youngest Osmond brother. Can you believe that? That’s the oldest dress I have.”
Co-Hosts React: A Heartwarming Moment
Marie’s fellow co-hosts on The Talk—Eve, Sheryl Underwood, Sharon Osbourne, and Carrie Ann Inaba—were touched by her story. They thought it was downright adorable that she held onto her childhood outfit for all these years. “Marie, what do you remember about that time?” Sheryl, also 56, asked her. Marie’s response was both nostalgic and heartfelt. “You know, I remember going into the fitting. It was with Ret Turner, who gave Bob Mackie his first job. He worked on Carol Burnett’s show, among others,” she reminisced. “I remember the gloves—oh, how I loved those gloves—and the shoes, and my dad lifting me up and placing me on the stage. All I saw were red lights, and that’s pretty much all I remember.”

Marie’s Bold Fashion Choices: From Blonde Wigs to Stunning Outfits
Marie isn’t just a keeper of memories; she’s also a bold fashionista. Let’s not forget the time she donned a stunning blonde wig during the February 11 episode of The Talk. That look was nothing short of amazing. Marie’s sense of style has always been a conversation starter. She’s all about embracing change, no matter the age. “There are so many ways to make yourself look and feel good,” she told Closer in February. “Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s, there are ways to enhance your features and stay fresh. Women might get tired once they hit 50, but for me, that's when I come alive. Let’s fight it, girl!” she exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Marie’s outlook on life and style at 60 is nothing short of inspiring. “It’s such a great age because you really know who you are. You’re comfortable in your own skin, and it’s like, this is me,” she added. “And I think it’s a fun way to show people different ways to wear hair. Why not have a little fun with it?”
