Turning up the heat: Dita Von Teese turns heads during Jean Paul Gaultier's Couture show todayCouture week may be all about high fashion but at Jean Paul Gaultier's show it was Dita Von Teese's performance that left guests stunned.
Leaving very little to the imagination, it was definitely a case of less is more when the burlesque dancer took to the catwalk as the designer's piece de resistance.
Sporting a black cutaway dress, Dita began to remove her clothes, revealing a backstitch corset and suspenders.
The outfit forms part of a new collaboration between France's former enfant terrible and lingerie designer La Perla. The one-off range will include a throwboack to Madonna's iconic outfit worn on her Ambition tour in 1990.
The range includes waist-cinching corset, extra-high briefs, bodysuit and bras inspired by the queen of pop's cone bra.
The collection comes in black and powder pink with accents of coral and will be available from November in selected department stores, retailing from £400.
