Why? Well, it was all about the tutus, of course!

Firstly, can we just pause for a moment to appreciate the sheer *poetry* of the Swan Queen's white tutus? Imagine layers and layers of delicate tulle, each one carefully stitched to create the illusion of a soft, ethereal cloud, each layer flowing effortlessly with the dancer's every move. And then, darling, the contrast! The *black swan* with her striking, edgy, black feathered tutu. Simply breathtaking, darling! Each tutus crafted with such intricate detail and care, it was a sartorial masterpiece.
