Oh my darlings! October has certainly been a month of *ooh la las* on the ballet scene, and not just on stage! This month’s style icons have really taken tutus to new levels of fashion forward - think, **sassier, stronger and sexier** than the old fluffy frocks. I’m talking sheer, sharp lines, structured silhouettes – tutus with a modern twist, perfectly complimenting the athleticism of our incredible dancers.
- The **National Ballet** went for a **haute couture, almost architectural approach**, with sharp angles and precise lines that emphasized every dancer’s strength and agility.
- **Royal Ballet**, however, went for something **more whimsical and romantic**. Their tutus flowed in sheer layers of silk, creating a cloud of beauty around the dancers.
- For something truly **edgy**, I suggest checking out the **Rambert’s** latest production. Those tutus, in shades of black and steel, with a **subtle punk vibe**, gave a real *femme fatale* edge to the dancing, divine.
And let’s not forget the **shoes, darlings!** We saw an absolute abundance of **pointes** – from traditional ivory to bold black and metallics! The **accessories**? Gorgeous headpieces, jeweled sashes and more, adding the final touches of glamour to every performance. This October, the ballets are a lesson in how to wear a tutu with confidence and grace – take note, dear reader!
