Dita von Teese

Burlesque star Dita von Teese will be the new face of Wonderbra, the lingerie brand has announced.

The performer is also designing her own limited edition collection of Wonderbra underwear.

Her designs will draw on 1940s lingerie styles and vintage underwear fashion.

She will model the new collection for a Wonderbra photo shoot in Paris in the next few weeks.

"I really hope that with this new range I can share my passion for sensual, wearable lingerie that will add a touch of glamour to people's everyday lives," von Teese said.

Wonderbra by Dita von Teese will hit stores in the UK and France in September.
