Dita Von Teese—the undisputed modern queen of burlesque—debuted her new residency, A Jubilant Revue, last Thursday. Staged at the Horseshoe Las Vegas’s iconic Jubilee Theater, the 75-minute show is a stylish homage to Jubilee!, one of Vegas’s most famous revue shows on the Strip, and the last showgirl production of its kind, which ran from 1981 to 2016. “I was a huge fan of the Jubilee!,” says Von Teese. “I used to come to it all the time when I would come to Vegas.
“She always turns it out for me,” says Von Teese. The shoes, meanwhile, are all custom Christian Louboutin heels; Von Teese is close friends with the iconic red-soled footwear designer. “We always have fun coming up with ideas,” says Von Teese. “There’s a special Dita heel that they make for me. He builds out the back of the shoe, and it curves in dramatically towards the ball of my foot. It’s a super curvaceous heel.
