7 STYLE LESSONS TO LEARN FROM DVT
Have a thing for vintage? Ace the look like Dita Von Teese
When it comes to vintage, no one can do it like DVT. Vintage is a way of life for the American burlesque dancer. The curvy beauty’s style has been inspired by icons such as Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe. Dita is a fan of luxe fabrics such as grosgrain satin and silk. From Grecian style dresses to figure flattering, voluminous ‘50s skirts, her fashion picks spell unadulterated glam. Pairing her vintage outfits with her signature raven hair, winged eyes and crimson lips, Dita magically brings a bygone era to life. The woman says she “advocates glamour, every day, every minute.” These tips from her looks will help you ace vintage like a pro. For a red carpet perfect, 1940’s look, go for sexy side swept waves. Make a side parting and use medium sized rollers to curl your hair. Open the curls and settle them with your hand. Crimson lips paired with winged eyes are the fastest route to vintage glam. Don’t line your lower lid. With a shadow brush, dust brown eyeshadow at the corner of your lower lashes. Finish your lashes with multiple quotes of mascara for a dramatic look. Blinged out minaudières and boxed clutches are perfect accessories to pair with your elegant evening vintage dress. Hunt for pearl beaded clutches, stone studded or velvet ones with elaborate jewelled brooches. Get your eyebrows shaped by an expert for those perfect arches. Fill in your brows with dark brown eyeshadow for that fuller, darker look. Softly fill in light spots with dash-like strokes that look like your natural hair. Blend well with a spoolie brush.
