The French fashion designer's team announced his passing on Instagram Sunday.
The fashion world lost another icon. ET has learned, Thierry Mugler died Sunday at the age of 73.
The French fashion designer was beloved by many in the entertainment and fashion industry with his looks worn on red carpets, runways and the big and small screens.
Mugler's forward-thinking fashion struck a chord in the industry in '80s and '90s and were worn by the likes of Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, David Bowie, George Michael and more, with Tyra Banks and Cindy Crawford among the top models of the time to wear his designs on the runway.
Though he officially retired from fashion in the early aughts, Mugler made an exception to design under "House of Mugler" for the 2019 Met Gala, creating the wet couture dress Kim Kardashian famously wore to the gala that year.
