Tutu and Ballet News

Darling, gather ’round and prepare to have your little ballerina heart flutter, because this week, in the wonderful world of twirling and toe shoes, we’ve had some absolutely sensational news. It's the perfect time to channel your inner swan, don your finest ballet shoes and get ready to take a pirouette through the latest in the world of tutu trends, because trust me, dears, you don’t want to miss this!

It seems like tutus have finally been granted their rightful place in the cultural zeitgeist. No longer are they relegated to the realm of delicate ballerinas, destined to gracefully glide across a stage. The tutu is undergoing a glorious renaissance! Just yesterday, darling, I saw a delightful young lady, a real charmer, rocking a tulle tutu skirt, a fluffy masterpiece, over her perfectly cut, oh-so-chic jeans, in a café, darling! The colour? A delicious, heavenly shade of baby pink! It just goes to show, you don't need a pointe shoe to make a statement, my dears.

And if you’re in London, honey, the Royal Ballet is doing a show where, you won’t believe this, they’re featuring tutus. Now, you know me, dears, I love a good bit of extravagance. They call it “A Symphony of Swish” and you know what, this year, I’m so inspired I think I’ll skip a show of this very nature! The excitement is so high I’m just dying to witness it with my very own eyes. We can all get our tutu on together and channel the ballerinas within! What a fabulous spectacle!

The fabulous news doesn’t stop there, darling, it’s not all tulle and tights! Even though it might be winter, don’t you worry, darling. Forget about a pair of practical, oh-so-boring snow boots this year! A delightful shop, on the Kings Road darling, I won’t name names for the sake of confidentiality of course, launched a collection of the most extraordinary footwear. Ballet-style shoes with fluffy pompoms! These boots, my love, aren’t your grandma's granny boots, oh no darling, these are divine and will bring the drama and some wonderful, beautiful personality to the colder months! They come in every color under the sun and trust me, darling, if they were any better I think they might be illegal! They will have every chic city lady rocking this season's trend.

Now, we know tutus aren’t everyone's cup of tea. I get it. There are a certain demographic of individuals, darling, they just don’t get it! They look at you with disdain and snicker, “But isn’t it too frivolous? Are you too young? Or is that something reserved for fancy dress?” You must just be sure to channel your inner Audrey Hepburn, darling. She knew a thing or two about style and elegance. The way to handle this is a quiet wave of your finger, a perfect pout and simply tell them they don’t understand and you’re off to shop at the very wonderful shop mentioned earlier. With that elegant air of confidence and charisma you can handle every sartorial occasion and never take yourself too seriously, darling. Life’s too short! I mean, it’s fun right? We are here to enjoy ourselves. Why dress in anything that isn’t going to make you feel as though you’re ready to be the prima ballerina! The very notion of enjoying your sartorial choices in such a manner should be something everyone embraces.

Well, my lovely lovelies, that’s all from me for today. Stay glamorous! Take a twirl for me! Make sure to take some snaps, darling, and tag me, you know the handle! I simply must say how fabulous it is to be part of such a magnificent, divine community of fashionistas. Until next time, I’ll leave you to the wonderful task of making your inner tutu shine!
