Dita Von Teese, Cointreau Brand Ambassador and International Queen of Burlesque, was in New York City Tuesday night for the official U.S. launch of “My Cointreau Travel Essentials” -her vintage-inspired travel bar. A chic, retro hatbox, the luxury coffret opens up to reveal a beautifully-refined mini bar that conveniently contains all the items needed to create original cocktails while jet setting around the globe.
The stunning and sexy beauty, dressed in a black Herve L Leroux floor-length gown, Christian Louboutin heels, elegant vintage earrings and a glamorous, oversized Dior ring, hosted the cocktail soiree at Forty Four at NYC’s Royalton Hotel part of the Morgans Hotel Group.
Married briefly years back to shock rocker Marilyn Manson, Von Teese sipped her signature cocktail, the Cointreau MargaDita, posed for photos and chatted with guests, including Mr. Showbiz himself, Murray Hill, and 92-year-old style maven Ilona Smithkin, whom she was overheard exchanging style advice with.
Von Teese gushed to friends about her stay in New York City, beaming as she talked about acclaimed theater production “Sleep No More,” and sharing that she’d love to be cast as the nurse in an upcoming performance.
The burlesque star had such a great time at the party that she was one of the last to leave, jetting off to a late dinner with friends at Graydon Carter’s Monkey Bar.
This ultimate holiday gift for the sophisticated world traveler is here just in time for the holiday season for $399 at select high end retailers. Very cool gift.
