Wagon Wheel Watusi! This week, we’re shimmying into Burlesque (2010), the bedazzled fever dream of a movie musical starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. It’s all rhinestones and ringmaster vibes, and we’re here for every glittering second. Costume design legend Michael Kaplan (Blade Runner, Fight Club, Flashdance) found inspiration everywhere—from sherbet dessert to Magritte and Man Ray—for these stunning costumes.
We break down Cher’s Bob Mackie tuxedo-glam, Xtina’s transformation from small-town waitress to burlesque bombshell, and that dreamy off-the-shoulder green silk gown that deserves a spot in the Green Dress Hall of Fame (move over, Atonement!). Marie swoons over surrealist hand-motif bodysuits while Blaire confesses her love for a silver chunky heel and opera gloves.
We also dive into the film's Pussycat Dolls origins and why this movie feels like a chaotic cabaret dream you never want to wake up from. Plus, Marie's Lafufu update, Practical Magic 2 chismes, and more. Show us how you burlesque!
