Making Burlesque Style Work Like Christina, Kristin and Julianne

Posted on November 26, 2010 In Celebrity Entrepreneurs

This holiday season, sexy style is more popular than ever thanks to Sony Pictures and their star-studded, sparkly flick aptly titled, Burlesque. Starring household names like Cher and Christina Aguilera, the film has created plenty of positive buzz surrounding its Thanksgiving week opening. The story focuses on a small town girl who discovers a Burlesque club in Los Angeles and features all the trimmings of a glittery holiday movie – love, friendship and amazingly beautiful costumes. The looks in Burlesque are fanciful and over-the top, but you can easily incorporate some of the same elements into your wardrobe for a little bit of extra shine during the festive season.

In the movie, Christina Aguilera’s character Ali often wears several strands of pearls on stage in lieu of a top. The shirtless look is strictly for the movie, but multiple strands of pearls are a fashionable touch that anyone can easily incorporate for work or play. Channel a little bit of your inner Christina by choosing inexpensive strands that you can layer or wear alone, in several different lengths and shades of white and ivory. For an interesting pop of color, try throwing in one or two strands of pink or chocolate baubles, depending on your outfit.

Kristin Bell debuts a beautiful, but unexpected brunette hair hue in the film, alongside her character Nikki’s signature sexy cutout dresses and tops. To incorporate a little Nikki flare into your closet, choose trendy pieces with modest and flattering cutouts at the shoulder instead of the bust.

Julianne Hough’s character, Georgia, is a total glitter bomb in the film. Almost every costume the petite starlet dons is entirely bedazzled. Fortunately for shoppers, sequined looks are everywhere right now, and available at almost every price point. And just in case Julianne’s sequined, skimpy body suit won’t work for the office, you can always try a sequined tank underneath a blazer or cardigan for a totally work appropriate punch of sparkle for the holidays.
