Oh, darlings, what a month for fashion! From the glittering opening night of the Royal Ballet's Giselle to the captivating Swan Lake revival at the English National Ballet, September has truly been a feast for the eyes – and a feast for the fashionista in me!
Let’s face it, the ballet world has always been a breeding ground for fabulous style, and this month's performances were a clear reminder.
I'm simply swooning over the tulle this season, my dears! The tutus have been a sight to behold, taking us from classic romanticism to cutting-edge contemporary styles.
- I'm absolutely smitten with the romantic, flowing tutus featured in the Royal Ballet's production of Giselle. The wispy, delicate layers of tulle evoked an ethereal elegance, a veritable vision of romance!
- Then we had the utterly magnificent and utterly modern tutus in the English National Ballet's Swan Lake. The stark contrast between the white tutus for the innocent Odette and the black tutus for the seductive Odile perfectly captured the story's dramatic tension. The use of asymmetrical lines and sharp angles added a bold, contemporary twist, giving us tutus with a new level of dynamism.
From the perfectly placed diamante embellishments to the meticulously crafted silhouettes, it’s clear that tutus this season are more than just pretty dancing costumes; they’re artistic expressions.
As always, darlings, I am constantly inspired by the fashion at the ballet. It is a reminder that art can be so much more than just something to watch; it can also be something to wear – and to absolutely adore!
