When she is not on stage doing her burlesque show in pasties and a Swarovski covered G-string, Dita Von Teese dresses quite modest. Known for being elegant and glamorous she presents herself with an air of nostalgia for the late 1940s. She is very open about doing as much as she can DIY (she does her own hair/makeup for shows and most photoshoots, and she doesn't have a stylist) and loving shopping vintage. While she does have tricks to still looking great while running errands or going to her pilates class (slicking her hair back, wearing big sunglasses, and gliding some red lipstick on), she never for a moment strays from her beloved aesthetic. Dita is proud to not own jeans, sneakers, or nude lipsticks. When asked how she is able to be so confident Dita replied with, "You can be a juicy, ripe peach and there's still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches, so you can either submit to someone's criticism of you, or you can get on with the business of being your own amazing self who attracts other like-minded people that appreciate you."
Dita Von Teese has created herself into this image. She was born as Heather Reéne Sweet in a small Michigan town. She was amazed by film stars like Betty Grable and Marylin Monroe, and grew a fascination with lingerie. Dita started working at a lingerie store and slowly worked her way to LA. In her 20s she started dressing in her infamous retro style. This is so important because now the burlesque star has her own lingerie line as well as her own clothing line. Dita has also written books, created her own lipstick with Mac, and her even adhesive nails that mimic her own iconic red with half-moons. Her fashion is ingrained into nearly everything she does: it is her passion.
