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.

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.

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.
