Here at *Ballet Buzz*, we're always on the lookout for the latest news from the wonderful world of dance. So join me this week as we explore some of the latest tutus taking centre stage.
This week we've had an amazing announcement from the prestigious Royal Ballet Company! The company have decided to create a new collection of stunning tutus, designed by none other than the fashion legend Vivienne Westwood! Vivienne has long been known for her provocative, often controversial designs, so it'll be interesting to see what she's cooked up for the hallowed halls of ballet! One thing's for sure, it'll certainly be an exciting addition to the stage. What will the ballet world think of this surprising new pairing?
Speaking of exciting developments, we've been sent photos from the *New York City Ballet's* summer tour! The company, famous for their sleek, sophisticated productions, were on fire during the recent American tour and those stunning, classical tutus really came into their own! The principal dancer, Natasha Petrov, looked absolutely divine in her ethereal, sparkling tutu, her delicate movements drawing gasps from the audience. She looked like a true ballerina princess!
Back on home turf, there's been another fab announcement for ballet enthusiasts: The English National Ballet has announced that their popular *Giselle* production is getting a complete makeover! The new set, lighting, and yes, *tutú* designs promise to be sensational, with some fresh twists on the classics!

The production, famous for its gorgeous use of white tutus, is promising some innovative new styles that still manage to honour its classical roots. Let's be honest, it'll be a pleasure to see a fresh spin on the iconic ballerina dress! I think I just got goosebumps.
