Honestly, I look at celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Dita Von Teese and get a bit exhausted. I just can’t understand how they manage to keep up their looks day in and day out. Thanks to the ever present eye of the paparazzi, I see that these women are dressed to the nines even when picking up their kids from school, shopping at Whole Foods or going through the airport. Don’t they ever just want to put on a pair of sweats and a baseball cap when running errands? Ms. Von Teese takes this dedication to whole new level. As a burlesque star, her acts recall the stylings of a by-gone era, and she fully embodies the stage persona she has cultivated even in her personal life. She is not merely always dressed the part, she drives vintage cars, has a vintage pink stove and refrigerator, collects taxidermied animals, chats on the phone in a 1940’s phone station and has an entire bedroom dedicated to her hat collection and vanity. While her devotion is baffling to me, she must be admired for being so passionate about the fashion and style she loves and spends her life celebrating.

A classy black Louboutin sling-back and black velvet cloche will give any outfit a hint of Dita Von Teese’s style:
