She's known for her love of black clothes and her pale complexion.
But, it looks like Dita Von Teese took her vintage style one step further on Wednesday night as she stepped out in a decidedly vampish outfit.
With her red satin-lined cape and decolletage on show, Dita looked more like Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark.
She wore her 'Showcase' dress from her Dita Von Teese Collection, which is made from silk and velvet.
The $695 dress is designed to be so low-cut that the wearer ends up flashing her bra.
'Sometimes I would wear it simply as is with it's deep plunge showcasing my decolletage. With a below the knee hemline, it is the perfect way to bring sensuality and sophistication together.'
As she left the club, Dita had an unusual question from one of the paparazzi, who asked her if she knew how to 'twerk' - a booty and thigh-shaking dance move popularised by African-Americans.
Meanwhile, Dita recently hit the headlines when she was romantically linked to Russell Crowe.
However, the actor denied they were anything more than friends, tweeting: 'Dita Von Teese is brave, smart, sweet and elegant.
Having long established herself as a successful burlesque artiste, Dita is now focusing on her business interests.
As well her clothing collection, which is on sale at Decades Inc, she also launched a lingerie range.

the dress online, Dita said: 'I have a vintage dress in my collection

various, beautiful bras underneath to give it a sexy and unique look as
the lace teasingly peeks out of the top.'Sometimes I would wear it simply as is with it's deep plunge showcasing my decolletage. With a below the knee hemline, it is the perfect way to bring sensuality and sophistication together.'
