Dita Von Teese puts on a sideshow in a golden ball gown to judge the Love Ball III in NYC

Dita Von Teese put on quite a sideshow in a golden Zac Posen ball gown to judge the sold-out Love Ball III at Gotham Hall in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

It was a light, colorful look for the 46-year-old burlesque performer, who normally sticks to black or red retro ensembles.

The Michigan-born pin-up's pastel-floral gown featured a halter bodice and bared both her arms and back for the AIDS/HIV benefit.

Dita (born Heather Sweet) sported her signature red lipstick and false lashes and she wore dangly peach-stoned earrings.

But vintage-loving Von Teese changed up her raven locks by adding a Blade Runner-inspired victory roll bang hairpiece.

The ex-wife of Marilyn Manson's red carpet appearance came less than a month after she performed at the opening ceremony of the similar Life Ball in Vienna.

Tickets go on sale this Friday for Dita's new 36-date Glamonatrix Tour through Australia, New Zealand, and Europe - which kicks off November 19 at the Astor Theatre in Perth.

Missing from the Project Runway All Stars guest judge's side was her live-in love of five years, Walt Disney Company visual designer Adam Rajcevich.

'We're just very low key and we don't go around flaunting it, he doesn't jump and dive into pictures like some of my ex-boyfriends that wanted to be famous,' Von Teese told Mirror Online last year.

'It's great and stable and much better than the past.'
