Here’s our roundup of the hottest celebrity pole dancing moments, organized from the earliest to the latest. Get ready for some skin, spins, and plenty of star power.
Long before pole dancing went mainstream, Penelope Ann Miller brought serious sex appeal to Brian De Palma’s gritty crime drama. As Gail, a struggling dancer with dreams of leaving the underworld behind, Miller’s routines are all about vulnerability and allure. Her pole scenes aren’t overly polished... think smoky bars and old-school glamour, but she’s impossible to look away from.
This one’s iconic: Elizabeth Berkley’s Nomi Malone delivers one of the most infamous pole routines in cinema history. “Showgirls” might be campy, but Berkley attacks each spin like her life (and the movie) depends on it. She oozes confidence and sexuality, owning her scenes in a way that’s both fascinating and over-the-top. Love it or hate it, you’ll never forget it.
Lucy Liu gives tough-as-nails vixen vibes as a seductive dancer in this pulse-pounding crime flick. Her pole scene isn’t long, but Liu’s trademark attitude and sultry moves leave a lasting impression. Blink, and you’ll miss it, but trust us: her appearance smolders in the best way.
Remember the teacher who surprises an entire town by moonlighting at the local strip club? That’s Tonie Perensky’s Miss Davis. Her pole scene is legendary among late-90s teen movie fans; cheeky, confident, and totally unexpected. Perensky plays it with a wink, adding a touch of naughty fun to a raucous comedy.
Not a movie, but Teri Hatcher’s infamous pole (and table) dance as Susan on “Desperate Housewives” is TV legend. In a bid to win back her ex, Hatcher goes all in—awkward, hilarious, and surprisingly sexy. Sure, it’s played for laughs, but Hatcher’s commitment and charm make it unforgettable.
Natalie Portman’s lap dance (with a pole cameo) in “Closer” is legendary. As Alice, Portman is all pink wigs, kittenish looks, and raw allure in that blue-lit strip club. Her routine isn’t about gymnastic tricks; it’s about power, vulnerability, and pure cinematic electricity. It’s one of the most talked-about scenes of her career for a reason.
Yes, Lindsay Lohan dives deep into pole dancing territory in this twisty thriller. She took pole-dancing classes for the role, and it shows: her performances are provocative yet tinged with sadness and confusion, fitting the movie’s dark tone. Lohan delivers serious moves that prove she's more than just a teen queen.
Rose McGowan opens this grindhouse extravaganza with a smoky, teasing go-go and pole routine that packs style and attitude. The apocalypse never looked so sexy. McGowan goes all in, making even the most chaotic scenes feel sultry and sly.
Kate Hudson’s take on 1960s-inspired pole work is all legs, hair, and confidence. As a sultry journalist in “Nine,” Hudson’s show-dancer number blends old-school glamour with modern edge. Her routine is equal parts cheeky and chic, and she owns her sensuality while keeping things playful.
Julianne Hough isn’t just a dancer; she’s a pole dancing revelation in this campy musical. Hough’s numbers ooze rockstar energy, showcasing great technical skill with every spin and split. Her performance is a total showstopper, bringing a sense of fun (and a whole lot of skin) to the strip club stage.
Vanessa Hudgens ditches her former image for good with this gritty, true-crime role. As a young woman caught in a web of danger, Hudgens' pole scenes are raw, desperate, and unforgettable. She performs with real intensity, proving she’s ready for adult roles and grown-up allure.
In “American Bad Boy,” Tiarra Randle shines as a pole dancer turning heads and stirring drama. Her scenes have that firecracker energy because she combines athleticism and pure tease, making every moment on the pole count. Randle brings both new-school moves and serious confidence to the screen.
