Proud to embrace her famous curves, whether she’s onstage, strutting the red carpet or enjoying some time off - the burlesque beauty and ex-wife of Marilyn Manson, has become a true style icon over the years.
Boasting an extensive wardrobe full of 40s and 50s inspired outfits, the self-styled pin-up tops off each of her perfectly polished looks with her trademark milky complexion, black curls and berry red lips.
MTV caught up with the busty beauty, who’s here in Sydney for an exclusive one-off performance of her internationally acclaimed ‘Be Cointreauversial’ show, to discover what lies behind some of her most favourite looks…
“This is a dress that I wore at the very infamous Dolce and Gabbana party that happens at the Cannes Film Festival every year. It’s sort of the party where everyone gets wild by the end of the night.
“This dress was actually 2 dresses in one. It was a bathing suit with a dress over it. I saw the girls at the press office - the people who loan you the clothes and also ask for them back when you're done with them - and I had the idea that I was going to give the dress back right then. So I took off the dress and handed it over and said they cud have the dress back now and I danced around in this bathing suit with a few million dollars worth of diamonds on all night! It’s one off my favourite dance parties I’ve ever been too.”
“This was at a movie premiere for a really strange film called Southland Tales and I don't use a stylist, so when I go to the film festival I do my own hair and my own make-up and choose the clothes.
“This dress, I loved it so much and John Galliano sent it for me to wear but the only problem was that it was about two full feet too long for me! So I remember that I had about a thousand safety pins and pinned it until I could wear it. And later on John Galliano said ‘I still can't figure out how you wore that dress!’ He was appalled that anyone even sent me a dress that long for me to wear, but I was just completely determined to walk down the red carpet in that fabulous dress.
“This green dress is very special to me because I used to wear a lot of Christian Lacroix on the red carpet and I’ve always been a big fan of his. I think that his fashion shows were the most extravagant, beautiful shows I’ve ever seen and I think its devastating that the fashion house is now closed.
“I just loved this dress, I thought it was a beautiful colour and I loved the emerald necklace. I remember that someone actually stepped on the train and ripped the whole back off while I was walking along, and I just remember looking down and seeing a big Adidas sneaker on the train of my dress! But anyway they fixed it and it’s just one of my favoruite dresses that I’ve ever worn.”
