We couldn’t have a Pin-up theme and not write about the legendary Dita Von Teese! The stunning brunette is a great mix of curve and perfect styling, walking the line between 50s throwback and modern style icon. We show you how to get her look, from her signature lip colour to her stunning wardrobe!
A black coat and heels
Never has a black coat and heels looked so glam! When it comes to outfits with more of a day time twist Dita knows that by choosing items with a difference you get the same impact as a glossy gown. Choose a coat with beautiful detailing and a great fit, and lush it up with high impact accessories. No one can say no to a pair of sky high stilettos!

Red carpet glamour
Let the statement green dress do all the talking! While this version may not be as couture as Dita’s, with the silk and waist cinching tie, it’s just as gorgeous. Pep it up with bright statements of colour - a purple heel, a gold necklace and a pretty, sparkling clutch.
Burlesque is all about eroticism, not stripping and not even really nudity. It's all about a teasing, suspenseful approach to the bedroom - this is the time for many layers and pretty finishes! The most important thing is to feel comfortable; an under bust corset sucks in the tummy and a push up bra peps up the boobs. Stockings look amazing and also slims the legs. The fan will give you a fun prop, a la the original queen of burlesque in my books Sally Rand. Need some inspiration? Reach for Dita’s amazing book, Burlesque and the Art of Teese, it’s a great introduction to both Dita’s sultry look and the art of Burlesque.
