Dita Von Teese loves wearing killer heels to finish her retro glam looks. Walking in dangerously high heels seems to be second nature to the burlesque queen, who always looks elegant and sophisticated no matter the occasion.

While at a detox spa in Sicily, Dita was asked to remove her heels and change into sneakers. She shared a photo of herself wearing black-and-fuchsia trainers, which caused quite a frenzy as this was the first time she was seen covering up her dainty feet with a pair of running shoes. Unsurprisingly, Dita managed to still look classy and glamorous even without the help of her trusty heels.

After a relaxing day at the spa, Dita changed out of her trainers and slipped into a pair of sexy ankle-strap pumps. Clad in a fabulous all-black ensemble, she roamed the streets of Sicily and shared a couple of photos on Instagram:

During Paris Fashion Week, Dita teased her fans with a picture of her backstage at Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture runway show.

At the end of the show, the designer revealed his surprise: a breathtaking appearance by the 41-year-old burlesque star. Gaultier’s latest spectacle showcased models as modern reinterpretations of butterflies that transform into glamorous showgirls at night. Who better to close the show than burlesque queen and retro glam superstar Dita Von Teese?

Dita stunned in a striking turquoise-and-black butterfly corset that accentuated her impossibly tiny waist.
