The costume, created by British designer Jenny Packham, sparkles with thousands of hand-placed Swarovski crystals and pearls. The shoes are a fetishistic masterpiece created by Christian Louboutin just for Dita's performance.
Dita will also be debuting her most extravagant fully crystallized gown to date, an astonishing Catherine D'Lish creation with copper embellishments and featuring extra-large, fancy-cut
Aurora Borealis Swarovski crystal.

Dita rides astride a giant red lipstick to and electronic soundtrack including a soon to be released Nathan Buillion remix of Dita's song 'Bird Of Prey,' composed and written by Sebastien Tellier. This provocative new act will also feature it's namesake song "Lipteese", created by Andrew Armstrong of the band
Monarchy and showcasing Dita's voice.
"It's always a thrill to create new acts, exploring new ideas that capture the spirit of vintage burlesque that we love, but in ways that haven't ever been seen before. It was especially enjoyable to infuse elements of Absolut Elyx's fabulous style with the ideas for the new acts. People know me for my cocktail glass acts, so it was fun to create one around the glamorous and whimsical copper imagery that is instantly recognizable with their brand. I can't wait for fans to see the new costumes, which are blinding sparkly, thanks to my favorite designers and Swarovski. I'm especially fired up to be bringing my show to cities I've never performed before!"
Speaking about the partnership with Dita and the 'Copper Coupe' tour, Absolut Elyx's Creative Director Miranda Dickson said, "We're so excited to work with someone who is as creative and magical as Dita Von Teese. When we're looking for people to work with, she stands out as the perfect collaboration for us, her persona and talent truly embody the spirit of Absolut Elyx. We couldn't think of a better partner to help bring our brand to life."
