Wearing a red-and-ivory Jenny Packham gown from the designer’s Fall 2010 collection, styled with matching red heels, the self-styled burlesque icon embodied the hyper-polished glamour that has become her signature.
The dress’s scattered crimson detailing played against its pale base to striking effect, amplifying the silhouette’s sculptural quality without overwhelming it.
A plunging neckline added drama, but restraint remained the defining note. The look never tipped into excess—a balance Von Teese has mastered over time, combining overt sensuality with old-Hollywood discipline.
It’s a rare equilibrium, one that few performers manage as convincingly, including Von Teese herself, whose style legacy continues to be defined by intention rather than provocation.
