If you're fan of Christina Aguilera or simply love musicals, then you'll adore these original movie costumes worn by the pop star in the new musical spectacle in which she stars with Cher, Burlesque.
Original movie costumes worn by Christina Aguilera in Burlesque
on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema
In Steven Antin's original musical, Christina Aguilera plays 'Ali', a small-town girl who moves to L.A. to pursue her dreams of fame and fortune. Once there she discovers the ailing Burlesque Lounge, owned by 'Tess' (Cher), and becomes a waitress there until she convinces the retired dancer to give her a chance on stage. During a performance when the sound is maliciously cut, Ali breaks into song and proves what a star she is, soon becoming the venue's headline act.

ReplyDeleteSadly the display is no longer at ArcLight Hollywood.
ReplyDeletei want this green dress, do u know where i can find one like it
ReplyDeletei bought mine online, it was handmade for me for £150 and I wore it to prom, can't remember the website unfortunately but just google it and you should find it.
DeleteMy best advice would be to find a seamstress with a proven record of making dresses and show these images as photo references. A good seamstress should be able to replicate for you.
ReplyDeletewhat about the red dress she wears? Where did she get that? It is gorgeous
ReplyDeletealso, what about the black little outfit with the sewn in hands on the boobies and bootie? Love it!
DeleteOne of the strings on her top is out of place, and the strings afround her arms should be over her arms. I know it's small, but it seem they should have taken the care to display the costumes to their best view.
ReplyDeletedesperately wanting to know what fabric the green dress was made out of? What material?? Anyone?
ReplyDeleteI believe its satin. That's what they say on ohnoyoudidnt.com
