Darling dears,
As a self-proclaimed expert on all things sartorial, particularly when it comes to our beloved ballet, I simply had to share my observations from the fabulous fashion happenings of this past month. From the stunning gowns adorning the Bolshoi to the utterly divine, utterly dramatic ensembles spotted at the Royal Ballet's winter season, we've seen a whirlwind of ballet-inspired chic!
This month, darling, it's all about the tutu. Yes, you read that right! But fear not, we're not talking about those stiff, meringue-like creations of yesteryear. This season's tutu is all about fluidity and movement. Imagine, if you will, delicate layers of tulle, cascading down in a graceful symphony of movement. The fabrics, oh so soft, so sheer, that they seem to dance and twirl along with the ballerina's every move. Think delicate whispers of peach, ivory, and lavender, a touch of silver sequins to catch the stage lights just so, oh so effortlessly chic. It’s just divine!
Here’s what really had me captivated, however. Think of a full-length tutu. Imagine it cascading downwards from a cinched waist like the most delicious of liquid silk - an undulating cloud of tulle falling gently, reaching towards the floor, it makes such a bold statement.
It is so versatile too, this fabulous silhouette is absolutely divine, perfect for those chic, black-tie affairs, and even just as a statement piece for your everyday looks. Just pair it with a silk top, darling, and you’ll have the perfect look for that next champagne supper. Just delightful!
- Must-have item: Think vintage. Those elegant 50s inspired ballerina flats. An absolutely darling nod to ballet’s rich history. A splash of pink or a gentle powder blue for that charmingly romantic vibe.
- Get the Look: This is the time to embrace all things soft and delicate - silk scarves, a little sparkle from some silver earrings, perhaps some dainty pearls. Think soft femininity and graceful silhouettes.
- The Big No-No: Avoid stiff, heavy materials, my darling. This is about elegance and fluidity, remember? This month, ditch those sharp, harsh angles. This season is all about softness.
Stay tuned for the latest on fashion’s fascinating obsession with our beloved ballet world!
Much love,
Your stylish correspondent
