Dita Von Teese was the epitome of dark beauty when she hit the maroon carpet for the British Fashion Awards 2012 last night wearing an elegant black wrap front, plunging neckline gown by Jenny Packham with onyx-black beaded long sleeves. This design comes from the Fall/Winter 2012 runway collection.

The 40-year-old burlesque dancer didn’t try to distract from the original look and feel of the dress at all, which I liked. She strayed from accessories and merely finished off with her jet-black mane styled in old Hollywood thick pin curls and a dark red matte lip to match her manicure. Somewhere out there in TV land, Morticia Addams is giving Dita golf claps for her flawless Gotchic glamour.

I prefer the darker color of this dress to the white version seen on the runway, and for once, I don’t have much of a problem with the solid black pumps Dita wore.

She finished off with diamond and ruby Piaget jewels, red lacquered nails, her signature red lip and a sculpted, shiny ‘do.
