Her style

Graceful, explosive, eccentric, full of verve and charm, her aim is to polarise the audience's attention thanks to her innate charms, made precious by the careful choice of evocative musical rhythms and sumptuous stage costumes. Petite and harmonious, Petite Chérie has always had a keen interest in make-up, applying herself for years until she developed a style all of her own that has had a great hold on the public. Her determined manner makes it clear who Petite Chérie is, undisputed queen of the art of Burlesque: a true self-made woman.

Why Petite Chérie?

Well, “Petite Chérie” refers to her tiny yet sensual forms.
Her graceful face, full lips, and pale complexion are all part of her charming style, as well as the makeup styles she loves to wear.
Her passion for the Golden Age of cinema, erotic literature, and vintage lingerie provides her audience with an experience which can only be considered “glamour girl” taken directly from those in which she has drawn inspiration from, such as the great Gypsy Rose Lee and the iconic Marilyn Monroe.
