Going blue! Dita Von Teese flaunts her fantastic figure in plunging silk gown at charity auction in Hollywood

She has been known to go blue in her time.

And Dita Von Teese turned every head on Thursday when she wore a plunging silk gown to a charity auction in Los Angeles.

The famed burlesque dancer was looking close to her busty best as she turned heads at the Photo 16 Auction, which was raising money for a national AIDS monument.

The 44-year-old was looking great for her age in the glamorous silk dress, which she combined with vintage stilettos and a crocodile skin purse. 

Dita certainly seemed to be enjoying herself at the event, as she took to Instagram to plug a photograph of herself that was going under the hammer.

She said: 'At the Photo16 auction, fundraiser for the national monument in remembrance of those lost in the AIDS crisis. Bid @paddle8 now!' 

But Marilyn Manson's former wife was not the only big name strutting their stuff at the thrilling event.

For All Night Long legend Lionel Ritchie was also there with his much younger lover Lisa Parigi. 

The 67-year-old seemed in very high spirits as he escorted his partner of four years, who is in her thirties, to the exciting event.

Father-of-three Lionel recently admitted he is open having more children with his partner, but the penny-pincher, who is worth $200 million, ruled out marriage as divorces are too expensive.

He said: 'I’m willing to become a father again. I might have just let a secret slip there, but so be it - Lisa and I are cool with the idea of children.  

'Marriage, on the other hand, is a very different issue, it’s a bad idea for men.

I’ve been there twice and it was very expensive for me. I’ve no idea to go there a third time - women have killed it for me. 

'Kids aren’t the problem - ex-wives are. That’s why I won’t marry again, but I’m happy to commit in other ways.'
