Dita Von Teese: “You don’t look like a Playboy girl!” How to value your unique differences

Do you find stripping and nudity empowering or degrading? Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese says feminism is about respecting each other’s choices, even if they wouldn’t be your own.


In this chat with Fearne, Dita charts her life from working in strip clubs in the 90s, to performing in sold out burlesque shows now. Painfully shy as a kid, Dita explains how turning herself into a femme fatale helped her feel confident and powerful in her own skin.


Fearne and Dita talk about the joy of getting older and understanding more about how to handle your sexuality, and Dita reveals how she makes herself feel more sensual if she’s not particularly in the mood...


There’s also advice about how to own your unique look and characteristics, and be more assertive in using your voice.


Dita’s new show, Diamonds and Dust, is on at London’s Emerald Theatre now!


Dita is also returning to the UK’s grand stages in early 2026 with her most enchanting show to date: Nocturnelle.
