Addison Rae Channels Vintage Glamour on ‘The Tonight Show’

Adding a touch of old Hollywood glamour, Addison Rae made a memorable appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday, donning a vintage-inspired, sparkling gold gown originally worn by burlesque legend Gypsy Rose Lee in the 1950s.

The pop star, 24, performed her hit “Diet Pepsi,” sashaying across the stage in layers of shimmering fringe. Her gown, sourced from Los Angeles vintage boutique The Way We Wore, featured a beaded bodice with a sweetheart neckline, swinging tassels at the bust, and striking silver straps. Her outfit was styled with custom gold mules embellished with amber jewels by footwear brand Nou, with Rae expressing her gratitude via Instagram: “Thank you @jimmyfallon for allowing me to sing and dance on your stage tonight! Such a special way to start October.”

Behind the scenes, her stylist Dara shared snaps on Instagram, revealing that the gown was borrowed from the vintage powerhouse The Way We Wore. The dress, originally seen in the 1958 film “Screaming Mimi,” was famously worn by Lee with opera gloves and a luxurious fur stole, accentuating her status as a 20th-century burlesque icon.

Fashion connoisseurs recognized the gown as a timeless piece, with Dita Von Teese owning a silver version and displaying it at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. The full-circle moment was celebrated by The Way We Wore, which called it “pure fashion alchemy” on Instagram, highlighting the historic significance and Rae’s modern reinterpretation of vintage glamour.

Adding to the vintage flair, Rae competed her look with custom jewelry and shared her excitement on Instagram, stating, “Such a special way to start October.” Her performance marked a nostalgic yet fresh display of classic Hollywood elegance merged with contemporary pop star charisma.
