Tower of model power: Statuesque Claudia Schiffer reduces Dita to a little von Teese

Updated 10:13am on 17 Apr 2008


Claudia Schiffer's modelling heyday may be behind her. But she still manages to make quite an impression at showbiz events.

The statuesque model left petite burlesque star Dita looking like a little Teese, as the pair were seen stood side by side at a gala hosted by Mont Blanc in Geneva earlier this week.

Claudia, who stands 5ft 11in tall, positively towered over the diminutive burlesque diva and many of the other female attendees at the glamorous watch launch.

Little and large: Veteran model Claudia Schiffer towered over glamorous burlesque star Dita von Teese at a gala watch launch for Mont Blanc in Geneva, earlier this week

Hardly surprising, as the perfectly groomed Dita stands 5ft 3in in bare feet.

The resultant look made the pair resemble a rather glamorous Little and Large double act.

But what she lacked in stature, Dita made up for in pure glamour quotient. As the immaculately groomed entertainer looked stunning in a white Grecian style chiffon gown, decorated with gems.

Supersized woman: Claudia leaves another normal sized woman in her wake

Claudia is one of the world's most successful supermodels, appearing on over 500 magazine covers.

While Dita, real name Heather Renee Sweet has made a name for herself because of her artistry in removing her clothes.

She also appears to have a knack for cigar smoking. Although she might have to call herself Dita von Quease, as she looked slightly green after taking a big puff on the cigar.

Dita recently spoke to The New York Times about what makes her happy since her divorce. And in a barb clearly aimed at ex-husband Marilyn Manson she said: "There's a long list of things."

And she added: "I am happy to have the drugs out of my life."

But she Dita also revealed that she managed to salvage a little something from her relationship with the dark musician - after having her engagement ring remade.

She said: "I took my engagement diamond and had it transformed at Christian Dior in Paris into a beautiful ring.

"It's nice; it's big. I feel like I suffered greatly for that diamond, and it needed to be reborn into something better."

Meanwhile, alleged footage of Dita in porn film has been leaked on the Internet. The video was apparently taken before she became famous for her burlesque acts.

The 1999 porn entitled "Pin Ups 2" features the model and several other women in a lesbian frolic.

Claudia in my opinion has always had zero charisma. She's just a tall girl with blonde hair and blue eyes who got lucky because someone thought she embodied what men thought was beautiful.

Claudia may be the model but Dita is far more striking in my opinion. She looks stunning as ever.
