A More Personalized Alternative to Victoria's Secret, The Naked Princess.

By Laura Medina


What was a cult-celebrity label has materialized into a brick & mortar "boudoir" boutique, The Naked Princess, on 653 North La Cienega Blvd. in West Hollywood, California.

Celebrities, such as, Rachel Zoe and Ali Larter appeared for the official opening on a well-tempered Saturday afternoon...


They were one of the fortuitous firsts to browse and shop the comfortable and silky underpinnings of lingerie and the upscale category of loungewear, "boudoir wardrobe" and the "boudoir decor and lifestyle."


The shop employees' uniforms were highly coveted silk warp-around black tunics with rose-gold trim, refreshingly comfortable for lounging around inside the comforts of home yet refreshingly trendy enough to dash out of the house to run errands in.

Even those tunics are not on the sales floor for ready-to-wear retail, you can put in a request with them to have the company to especially custom-make one for you personally.  Great service.


Lounge-wear, that home-to-street wear category started by Juicy Couture' iconic velour tailored sweatsuit set, become that fashion category that evolved into boudoir wear.  What was once strictly for the bedroom, the silk robes and chemises and camisoles has crossed over or transgressed into sultry, sweaty-climate friendly luxurious casual streetwear when paired with a pair of denim and tall boots/strappy heels or ready-to-officewear when pair with a blazer and stylish flats.


The Naked Princess the brand, from inception, has always been about "bedroom is lifestyle" mentality.  The Naked Princess the boutique is a highly curated and roomy shop showcasing the relaxing and indulgent gourmand-scented candles and style guides in how to be effortlessly chic.

The boudoir lifestyle isn't complete without cosmetics and candy!

When a chain of stores and a makeup/skincare brand were an after-thought for the mail-order lingerie company, Victoria's Secret,  The Naked Princess' boudoir beauty and body line were part of the brand from the get-go then won raves as the company's unexpected hit.

If your body can enjoy silky underpinnings everyday, why not your lips?  Beauty bloggers are raving about the quality and feel of The Naked Princess' lip glosses and Objet d'Love lip treatment in a hefty but luxurious refillable compact.


"Boudoir Lifestyle" is a genteel blend of Southern California Casual Chic meets French attitude, especially when it comes to food, paying attention to your cravings (they're signals from your body that it needs something), feed it some top-notch delectable bonbons.  Once satisfied, you can move on in life.

Ah, the ease of the Boudoir Lifestyle, living in a the comfort of home when and wherever you go.
