Dita von Teese continued to sparkle in her role as ambassador for Cointreau by hosting a poolside soiree at the Beverly Hill Hotel in California yesterday.
The princess of darkness embraced the gloriously beautiful weather by donning a Jenny Packham Spring 2012 gown.
The long lace gown with cascading colourful beaded flowers may be considered a tad OTT for a pool party, but this is the always impeccably dressed Dita we are talking about here.
With palm trees in the backdrop and a glass of Cointreau in her hand, Dita completed her look with her signature retro styling.

I love this look on her. So nice to see her figure celebrated in a less revealing way. The dress is gorgeous and she wears it beautifully.
Yes, this is actually not an appropriate look for a poolside soiree, but this gown is so beautiful. I’m not really a fan of Dita’s style, but this is amazing.
I worship Dita’s style. literally.
she looks amazing, the dress, the make-up, the elegance, the pose
This is her style OTT. I like the dress.
A fan of the dress, but not her.
Love it! Finally something light, bright and fun. But, still OTT glam, of course.
PERFECTION.
Dita surely knows how to wear a dress.
This is a gorgeous look. Definite BDOTW contender.
Such a gorgeous dress! She should have saved it for a more formal event, but it is certainly lovely.
Now THIS is BDOTW… Absolutely flawless in my opinion. I love it all.
+1
Agree 100% on BDOTW contender.
Yes, it would be OTT for anyone else, but for Dita it is perfection.
+1
She looks amazing.
I call a BDOTW!! This is an amazing look, I am so in love with this dress on Dita!! Spectacular
Stunning! This deserves a spot on BDOTW! She looks beyond beautiful.
This is beautiful, I didn’t even like the floral colorful gown on the runway, but Dita pulled it together in a classy, beautiful, and seductive way.
loved this dress on the runway but love it even more on dita.
I love it but I wish she wore magenta lips to match her dress; yes the red lips are her thing, but she can at LEAST change her lipcolor.
It screams BDOTW!!!
love Jenny Packham!
Old hollywood glamour, poolside with the perfect cocktail – love it, definitely a BDOTW contender.
Picture-perfect, spectacular, even the drink that she’s holding is complementary. BDOTW no doubt.
Just what I was thinking. OTT for jumping into the pool maybe, but certainly not with a cocktail in hand and a poolside setting.
Ditto.
Dita looks exquisite, what a beautiful dress!!!
W.O.W. This is the perfect look for a pool soiree for Dita
No but she looks absolutely outstanding, statuesque *___* I’m stunned!It just looks like the dress was made for her! This is my favorite look from her ever and definitely BDOTW contender!
Thank you, Dita. This look has made my week! I’m one of her biggest fans anyway, but this is beyond perfect. BDOTW for sure.
I love the dress on the runway. With Dita’s curves, it feels a tad matronly to me.
This is definitely OTT, but she looks so stunning that I don’t really care.
BDOTW nominee, for sure.
wow! one amazing look
