Clad in an outrageous Christian Lacroix wedding dress, the sultry fetish model posed for a ‘Saint And Sinner’ themed fashion shoot in Paris for the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar Russia.

The 37-year-old is covered from head-to-toe in the ivory-toned gown with gold embroiderer and a jewel encrusted trim bodice.

But the angelic image didn’t last long as Dita quickly reverted back to her usual form by wearing a provocative black outfit. Leaning against a bicycle in a Parisian street, her ruffled coat is unbuttoned, revealing a lacy black bra paired with black stockings and exposed garter belts. With her signature red lips, fair skin and dark eyes, Dita vamped it up showing off the yin and yang of her fashion personality.

I never felt like a natural beauty or that I could be pretty without make-up.

‘No matter what I do, I’m never going to look like someone like Gisele Bunche. No matter what! So I like creating a fantasy and using glamour as my way of being sexy.’

Temptress Von Teese launched her first underwear range with Wonder bra in 2008.
