Olivier Awards 2023: Dita Von Teese dazzles in plunging diamond encrusted gown

Dita Von Teese looked nothing short of sensational when she arrived at the Olivier Awards on Sunday at the Royal Albert Hall.

The 50-year-old burlesque dancer put on a sensational display in a silver dress that showed off her ample cleavage.

Her shimmering Jenny Packham dress was encrusted with diamonds and sequins that sparkled in the sunlight.

She carried a matching beaded silver clutch and added diamond drop earrings for even more sparkle.

Her black tresses were gathered into an old Hollywood glam curly hairstyle and pinned back from her face.
