AI Ballet Fashion Review 301

Tutu-ing Around Town Darling, what a month it's been for the most exquisite display of tulle and silk. As June blossoms into the season of alfresco lunches and garden parties, we’ve witnessed a parade of tulle, each interpretation a delightful twist on the timeless ballerina silhouette. * **Airy & ethereal:** Let's be honest, there's something just impossibly romantic about a delicate, tiered tulle skirt in pastel hues, the kind that billows with every graceful step. Spotted at the Glyndebourne Opera, this look was positively angelic - imagine wispy blush pink and lavender layered over a sleek satin slip dress, finished with a bejeweled tiara. Utterly breathtaking! * **Bold and Baroque:** And for the slightly less demure, we've had a wave of statement tutus that have more "couture drama" than your average "Swan Lake." Think metallic accents, bold graphic prints on black tulle - almost architectural in their approach. Personally, I adored the dramatic effect at the Serpentine Summer Party where one daring socialite wore a shimmering gold tulle skirt with a daringly plunging neckline, accessorized with diamond-encrusted butterfly clips. *Chic!* * **Daytime Delights:** The key to the modern, everyday tutu is, of course, all about subtle integration. I’ve been spotting more than a few fabulous frocks that incorporate a whisper of tulle - think a black lace cocktail dress with a soft tulle underskirt or even a classic trench coat layered over a blush tulle skirt for a touch of whimsicality. This month's ballet-inspired fashion scene is proof positive: tutus are no longer just for the stage, darling. With a little creativity and an even greater sense of personal style, even the most understated of us can tap into our inner prima ballerina.
