Bindi Irwin is about to have the time of her life. And she's going it in style!

For Dancing With the Stars' "Famous Dance" night, the 17-year-old fan favorite and her professional partner Derek Hough are set to recreate the iconic "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" routine from Dirty Dancing, which was performed by Patrick Swayze and former DWTS champ Jennifer Grey. And it looks like they'll be replicating more than just the dance moves.

E! News has your exclusive first look at Bindi's costume for tonight's performance and it's the perfect modern take on Baby's (Grey) dress from the scene in the sketch above. Designed by Daniela Gschwendtner, DWTS' costume designer, Bindi's costume is a gorgeous white silk and chiffon dress, with pearl detailing and lace.

Oh, and you can see the dress is perfectly made for the dance's iconic moment as the corset goes to the hip bone "for lift."

Taking their training for the memorable move seriously, Derek and Bindi headed to a lake in Los Angeles to recreate the 1987 movie's iconic water lift scene. They even replicated the outfits worn by Johnny and Baby!

Hough posted about the pair's upcoming homage on Instagram, writing, "What an honor to pay homage to this iconic dance film. " Nobody puts Bindi in the corner."

Other famous dances that will be included in tonight's show are Magic Mike's "Pony," Grease's "You're the One That I want," and Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U."

DWTS airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
