Dita Von Teese may be the most famous burlesque dancer in the world, but don’t worry she will gladly take the title of stripper. Von Teese is in Sydney as a guest of Cointreau and she will perform three shows tonight, however lucky few hundred were treated to a sneak peek of her Be Cointreauversial show last night where she dazzled in a costume of 300,000 Swarovski crystals before performing her signature move of dancing in a giant martini glass.

When asked what is the real difference between a stripper and burlesque dancer teese stated “For me, extravagance is what performing these shows is really about, and showing people things they’ve never seen before,” said Von Teese on the orange carpet dressed in a beaded Jenny Packham dress and Christian Louboutin red sequinned heels.”And I promise you that they have never seen that many Swarovski crystals on stage ever at once. Not since Liberace anyway.
