Oh my darlings, June has simply flown by in a whirlwind of tulle and sequins, haven't you found? The fashion scene has been positively pirouetting with inspired ballet looks, and I must share my absolute favourites with you.
Firstly, darling, the tutu! This month has seen a delightful evolution of this classic. No longer just for the stage, the tutu has become the epitome of chic and whimsical street style. Think layers of tulle, cascading from the waist in soft, diaphanous waves, and a burst of colour, perfect for adding that touch of fairy magic to your everyday attire.
Highlights:
- The "Bohemian Ballerina" look was particularly enchanting, featuring delicate, free-flowing tulle in ethereal hues like blush, lavender and moonstone. This was best showcased in London, with a darling boutique showcasing a series of exquisitely detailed gowns crafted in the softest layers of pastel tulle. Absolutely divine.
- But for those seeking a bolder statement, there was a distinct "Ballet Noir" vibe, with the tutu reinvented in sharp black, embellished with feathers and leather accents. Parisian catwalks saw an explosion of this edgy aesthetic, proving that ballet fashion isn't all about sweetness and light.
- I mustn't forget the return of the "Neo-Romantic Tutu". It's a sophisticated take on the classic, with structured, shorter silhouettes in metallic fabrics like silver and champagne. We saw a truly stunning interpretation of this trend at the Cannes Film Festival, a veritable feast for the eyes.
No matter your personal style, darling, there's a tutu out there for you this summer. So go on, embrace your inner prima ballerina and let the world be your stage!
