DIOR DARLINGS

Dior Darling presents a high-end, vintage-inspired burlesque and pin-up experience, paying homage to the golden eras of the 1950s and 1960s. This event blends classical burlesque, showgirl spectacle, couture fashion, and pin-up culture to define the art of allure in a contemporary setting. The evening features a curated lineup of classical burlesque and showgirl performances, focusing on slow tease, glamour, and femme fatale storytelling. Following this, a live pin-up runway competition allows contestants to present fully realised, couture-informed vintage looks, merging pin-up attitude with high-fashion execution for a chance to be crowned. Key performers include host Demon Derriere, international star Gina Stirling, RuPaul's Drag Race superstar Vybe, along with Full Cream Kitty, Mouna, Lady Dior, Jade Monsoon (Apprentease NSW 2026 Winner), and the Feather Fairies Troupe. Guests are encouraged to embrace the fantasy with a black tie, cocktail, or vintage dress code, emphasising thin, cinched waists, gloves, sharp tailoring, and classic silhouettes. To enhance the experience, a curated vintage fashion stall will be available on the night, offering guests the opportunity to acquire timeless pieces. This show is a return to elegance, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a love letter to the enduring legacy of burlesque, couture, and pin-up glamour.
