Here’s our favourite Liza Minnelli Cabaret costume ideas from the burlesque costume to the hair and makeup. Get the look and wow on stage and in the boudoir.
Liza Minnelli in Cabaret (1972) is one of our all-time favourite costume ideas. The daughter of Judy Garland already had the pedigree for international acclaim.
She then established herself as a nightclub singer and theatre actress before transitioning into movie roles. Though, the real hit came with this adaptation of a Broadway musical.
Now we’re here to share how to get the look with our Liza Minnelli Cabaret costume ideas.
This sexy Thelma Black Bodysuit is new to our burlesque boutique. It’s handmade in the UK and inspired by Liza Minnelli in Cabaret.
The top half is a lace black bodysuit with a clasp at the back and top. Whilst the bottom half is black jersey, complete with a bow.
It’s a truly show-stopping plunge bodysuit and, not to blow our own horns but, it comes in a range of sizes. Oh yes.
If you’re looking for a bit more to strip off, add some stockings to peel off later.
