Dita von Teese claims even she has self-doubt as she strips to extremely racy lingerie for cover shoot

She is one of the most beautiful women in the world and makes a living out of taking her clothes off.
But even Dita von Teese has insecurities from time to time, which she has opened up about in a new interview.
It’s hard to believe the burlesque dancer lacks confidence as she strips to some extremely sexy lingerie for a racy photo shoot for Bwatt magazine.

However Dita insisted to the publication: ‘Just like everyone else, I am not always confident, I have all the same self-doubt.
‘I just try to love myself and accept things that I don’t like about myself and I think it’s something important for all women to know that we all have those feelings.’
She added: ‘Everyone has something about them that they wish they could change, everyone I know anyways, and it’s about learning to love those things too.’
The 40-year-old covers the magazine’s latest issue while wearing a plunging black corseted body which shows off plenty of her cleavage, along with red leather gloves and lots of diamonds.

The images also see the star model a black lace bodysuit over matching lingerie, adding even more spice to the ensemble with thigh high leather boots.
For another look, Dita sported an emerald green coat which was unbuttoned to reveal a black lingerie set with saucy cut-out sections.
Dita looks fantastic for her age and she maintains her amazing physique by taking care of herself.
She said: ‘I always try to look for new ways to be a better person, what can I do to feel like I did something good  for myself, like eating well, exercising, new things to take on that makes me feel better.

‘I am big on reading books and getting help when I need help, like speaking to a therapist if I need some advice. If I feel like people don’t like me or like what I am doing, or if I read something that isn’t positive about me, I try to transform that into a good energy and doing something about it.’
She added: ‘I have experienced a lot of heartbreak in my life and I am going to transform that into something good, like get up and do something good for myself today. It’s about keeping positive.’
While the ex-wife of Marilyn Manson may look like a 1950s pinup girl, she has revealed that she likes to do things herself when it comes to her beauty regime in order to inspire others.
‘One of the reasons I will continue doing everything myself is that it is an important message to send to [fans],’ she said.
‘Like hey, I did my own hair and make-up to go on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, standing next to any famous actress who has spent all day in hair and make-up with the “Glam Squad.” I am doing it myself, so you can do it to!’
