Ciao bellas! It’s your favourite pink-loving ballerina, Emma, here, back from the bustling streets of Milan with another Pink Tutu Milan update! As always, I'm so thrilled to share my adventures with you every Monday, and today I'm bubbling with excitement over everything I've seen and done this week in this incredible city!
Fashion Fix & Tram Dreams
First things first - the fashion scene here is off the charts! I absolutely adore Milan's fashion week, it's the pinnacle of creativity and elegance. This week, I spotted the most breathtaking gowns in the shop windows, each more elaborate and dazzling than the next. The intricate embroidery, the dramatic silhouettes, the dazzling embellishments - it's truly a feast for the eyes. I even spied a few pink pieces I might have to treat myself to (pink, you know, is my jam).
Of course, a pink-tutu-loving fashionista has to take a spin on the tram, Milan's trusty form of public transport. You know how much I love a bit of whimsy, and there’s just something so magical about zipping through the streets in a charming, brightly-coloured tram. Plus, the windows give you the perfect opportunity to observe the world and take in all the chic, Milanese style. Don’t worry, I made sure my tutu swirled just perfectly as I went along, naturally!
A Ballet Wonderland at Teatro alla Scala
I had the incredible honour of attending a ballet performance at Teatro alla Scala this week! This iconic opera house is absolutely stunning. Imagine intricate gold and velvet embellishments, gorgeous stained-glass windows, and towering columns… Talk about a dream location for a dance performance!
This week’s show was “Swan Lake,” a timeless ballet classic that never fails to impress. The graceful ballerinas, the majestic costumes, the sweeping orchestral score – I was completely enchanted! And did I mention I spotted the most gorgeous pink pointe shoes on one of the dancers? It made my little pink-tutu-loving heart flutter.
A Delicious Milanese Feast
After the ballet, I ventured into the city for a taste of authentic Italian cuisine. The aromas that filled the streets were enough to send me into a food coma (but I soldiered on!), and oh my, what a feast I enjoyed! The creamy, perfectly seasoned pasta, the juicy steak cooked to perfection, and of course, the divine gelato (that pink strawberry flavour was just chef’s kiss) – this was an absolute culinary dream.
Life, Fashion and the Art of Whimsy
I truly love everything about this city - the art, the food, the fashion, the vibrancy. The energy here is intoxicating. There's so much to experience and explore, from breathtaking masterpieces in the Pinacoteca di Brera art museum to charming cobblestone streets buzzing with street performers. Milan is a whirlwind of culture, creativity, and glamour.
Pink Tutus in the Piazza del Duomo
No trip to Milan is complete without a visit to the Piazza del Duomo, the city’s stunning cathedral. You can see this incredible structure from miles away! As a proud wearer of pink tutus, I couldn’t resist doing a twirl or two under its majestic arches – I mean, when else would you get the perfect backdrop for your twirling adventures?
As I took in the beauty of the Piazza, I found myself reflecting on the message I’m always trying to share – Embrace your unique style! Express yourself, and don’t be afraid to wear what makes you feel confident and happy, whether it's a bold pink tutu or a classic LBD (that's little black dress, for you non-fashionistas!)
Time for Some "Emma-ism"
I can’t leave you without a little “Emma-ism” for the week! I'm a big believer that life should be fun, bold, and colourful. I think wearing a pink tutu embodies all those qualities, so go out there and let your inner whimsy shine, ladies! I dare you! You never know what adventures await when you put on your favourite outfit and face the world with a smile and a twirl.
That's it for this week, darlings! Stay tuned for next Monday's Pink Tutu Milan update where I’ll be diving into the world of local markets and uncovering hidden gems you don't want to miss!

Ciao! xx Emma
