Dita Von Teese is Especially Etoile

Dita Von Teese (in Malandrino) parties with pals at the L’Etoile nightclub overlooking the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France on March 28 (Saturday).

The 36-year-old burlesque beauty recently told Inked magazine about her first foray into lingerie. She shared, “My first bra was not very exciting. I was a late bloomer-the last of my girlfriends to get one. It was this horrible training bra-type thing, but it prompted me to save my money and buy my own darn bra. My mom was like, ‘You can’t have the black lace one.’ And I was like, ‘Why not?’ I’ve never equated beautiful lingerie with seduction or sex. It’s not about trying to get a man. Not at all. It’s about surrounding myself with beauty in my everyday life-whether it’s a bra or a notebook. I want everything around me to be attractive because I look at it every day.”
