Style Icon: Dita Von Teese

Thursday July 19, 2007
dita von teeseIt's not everyday that a stripper makes a best-dressed list, but burlesque queen Dita Von Teese is not your average pole dancer. The glamourpuss performer is known for her elaborate shows (she bathes in a martini glass) and her incredible sense of style, which has a very strong vintage vibe to it.

Dita Von Teese's life is an exotic mix of Marilyn Manson (her goth ex-husband), fetish (her book "Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese"), matching Louis Vuitton luggage and Paris couture fashion shows. Which is all pretty interesting, but we just care about the clothes. And nobody looks more at home in elegant gowns and perfect dresses right now than Dita Von Teese, so find your fashion inspiration in our new Dita Von Teese photo gallery.

I love this woman. She brings style and class to an otherwise bland public portrayal of sexuality. She encourages women to be sexy and have fun without the intention of nabbing a man or doting or pleasing. She’s classy, and a good speaker, not to mention a fabulous dresser.
