(Cover) - -No story type selected- - Dita Von Teese says fashion can be fickle.

The 38-year-old American burlesque dancer and model is famed for her gorgeous curves and kooky 1940s aesthetic.

The raven-haired beauty regularly tops best dressed lists in fashion magazines, but has revealed she never trusts fashion critics because their opinions always differ. The star has been pondering the matter via her page on social-networking site Twitter, recalling a time when French fashion critics appreciated her look far more than their US counterparts.

Once I was #2 Best Dressed woman in French Vogue...but in the same dress, I was called worst dressed in a US tabloid. An ah-ha moment... (sic), she wrote on her Twitter page.

Dita is well known for choosing attire that makes her stand out from the crowd. She believes all women should not dress to impress, rather choose pieces that they feel comfortable in.

To be truly chic is to know yourself and dress for yourself, without seeking the approval of others, she added. (C) Cover Media
