Who Wore the Retro Look Better at amfAR?
At last night's amfAR fund-raising event in Milan, stars showed up to help stir up cash for AIDS research. And while everyone was no doubt looking forward to a HIV-free future, two women looked to the past for their retro style. Dita Von Teese dazzled in her trademark '50s-style pinup glamour, whereas Linda Evangelista looked like a sophisticated '30s film star.
Dita Von Teese Tweets Her Beauty Secrets
Model and actress Dita Von Teese is known for her distinctive retro glamour looks. From the bold red lips to her porcelain skin to her old-school waved hairstyles, there is no denying that Dita always looks perfectly pulled together.

Who Wore Red Lips Best at the amfAR Event?
At yesterday's amfAR gala in Cannes, celebrities put on their best gowns to help raise money to fight HIV/AIDS. Since one symbol of AIDS awareness is the red ribbon, it's fitting that three of the guests — all with very different personal style — slicked on bold red lipstick.

Love It or Hate It? Dita's Costume Institute Gala Look

Every woman in the house was wearing a gala style gown, decadent jewels and had over-done hair. Here's a sampling of some of the looks on Dita Von Teese and Bettina Kofler (girlfriend of Austrian construction magnate Richard Lugner) whose hair kind of reminds me of this 1960's photo.

Old is new again. Makeup from the 1940's are back in style, and this style is one of the most glamorous and polished beauty looks of the season.
So if you're still deciding what your makeup style will be to ring in the new year, here's everything you'll need to know about creating Dita Von Teese's sexy starlet look at home.
Dita Von Teese on Glamour vs. Beauty
Last week, I had a real treat: I was able to interview the incomparable Dita Von Teese before her burlesque performance at Macy's Passport in San Francisco. Passport is a fundraiser for HIV/AIDS research, so it made perfect sense to have Dita appear. She's the face of MAC's Viva Glam campaign, which has raised—get this—nearly $100 million to fight the disease.
When Someone Copies Your Look, How Do You Feel?
