Elizabeth Berkley Fronts Betsey Johnson Holiday Campaign Honoring 'Showgirls' 30th Anniversary

The collaboration marks a personal full-circle moment rooted in Berkley’s early ties to the brand.

Overview

  • Berkley, 53, stars in the newly released 2025 holiday campaign, with imagery channeling showgirl spectacle through feathers, sequins, fishnets and towering headdresses.
  • The campaign coincides with a Betsey Johnson collection of dresses, shoes and accessories that translates the film’s theatrical style into commercial pieces.
  • A press release says the creative direction reimagines the cult classic through Johnson’s lens of bold color, camp theatrics and all-out confidence.
  • Easter-egg callbacks include the hot pink fringe spaghetti-strap dress and childhood recital photos tucked into the set design.
  • Berkley calls the project a full-circle milestone, noting she wore Betsey Johnson to her Showgirls audition and spent early paychecks at the designer’s Melrose store, while Johnson hails her as the “original showgirl.”
