Dita Von Teese is Fashionably Fierce

Dita Von Teese looks exquisite in Elie Saab at the Fashion Dinner for Aids at the Pavillon d’Armenonville on Thursday (January 29) in Paris, France.

“I was so shy in other ways but I was never shy about that,” the 36-year-old burlesque beauty said of her distinctive look. “For people to be looking at me because I was wearing an unusual hat or a strange dress and looking like I stepped off a movie set — I’ve been used to that for my entire adult life.”

“I started performing burlesque in 1991 and originally my audience was in strip clubs, pole dancing clubs, fetish clubs and I’ve watched the way it changed,” Dita told Reuters.

“I’ve been doing the same show all along but why has it become more fashionable? It’s interesting because I’m not the one that’s changed.”

She really toned down her makeup. Her skin actually looks kinda normal. Very pretty.

Beautiful. She knocked it out the ballpark with that dress but please stop using Wenn. The Wireimage photos are much better quality and don’t have the flash issues Wenn seems to have.

…Much better than some of her recent looks. Dita does old Hollywood glam very well.

She has very good taste in fabrics and colors. She should work as a stylist. Some of the ladies on the red carpet this season really could use her help.
