Turning up the heat: Dita Von Teese turns heads during Jean Paul Gaultier's Couture show today
Couture week may be all about high fashion but at Jean Paul Gaultier's show it was Dita Von Teese's performance that left guests stunned.
Leaving very little to the imagination, it was definitely a case of less is more when the burlesque dancer took to the catwalk as the designer's piece de resistance.
Sporting a black cutaway dress, Dita began to remove her clothes, revealing a backstitch corset and suspenders.
The outfit forms part of a new collaboration between France's former enfant terrible and lingerie designer La Perla. The one-off range will include a throwboack to Madonna's iconic outfit worn on her Ambition tour in 1990.
The range includes waist-cinching corset, extra-high briefs, bodysuit and bras inspired by the queen of pop's cone bra.
The collection comes in black and powder pink with accents of coral and will be available from November in selected department stores, retailing from £400.
Stripped: The burlesque dancer removed her little black dress to reveal a corset, stockings and suspenders
Muse: Dita's dance formed part of Gaultier's Paris-inspired theme which featured limited edition lingerie in collaboration with La Perla
Gaultier's show today featured a recurring theme, glamour, glamour and more glamour.
Inspired by the French capital, models were adorned with structured headpieces, fur stoles and cigarette holders.
Textures included silk, velvet, sequins with neoprene and zip detailing adding a contrasting futuristic twist
Glamour girls: Sequins, sheer and headpieces featured heavily with a musical bride in traditional white
Acid brights dotted a sea of classic monochrome as lace added evening sophistication.
Gaultier's bride wore white, walking the runway while playing a violin as the theatrical performance was nothing but drama and high impact, culminating in Dita's striptease.
Despite being American, Gaultier's muse formed the essence of Parisian chic.
Gaultier said: 'The Paris woman is everywhere today, everywhere but Paris.'
Drama: Acid brights dotted the monochrome collection, which included fur stoles and gloves
