#TutuTuesday Ballet Tutu History on 1955-01-11

Hello darlings! It's Emma here, back with another jaunt through the wonderful world of ballet tutus! Today, we're taking a trip back to January 11th, 1955. Fancy a trip in my time machine, chums? Grab your pink tutus and let's go!

This time, our travels have led us to Paris, the city of love, lights, and, of course, ballet! I must confess, Paris has always been a favourite haunt for tutus, especially back in 1955. The post-war years saw ballet flourishing in the City of Lights, with companies like the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris absolutely killing it!

You wouldn't believe the amazing tutus they had! Picture flowing silk, shimmering tulle, and vibrant colours! It was the golden age for tutus, and, darling, you couldn't tell me there was a better time to be a ballerina. Imagine being swept up in the romance of a Parisian performance, the tutus floating like clouds on stage - heavenly, simply heavenly!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Emma, what were the stars wearing on this particular January 11th?" Well, you wouldn't believe it, darlings! The Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris was in full swing, captivating audiences with their performance of "The Sleeping Beauty". Oh, darling! A ballet about princesses and beautiful tutus? Yes please! The lead ballerina must have been positively twinkling in a shimmering pink tutu – oh the envy!

It wasn't just the ballet world embracing the tulle. The 1950s saw a fabulous shift in fashion trends, bringing tutus to the fore. We were in a era of feminine grace, and what better way to embody that than a glorious tutu! It wasn't just the big tutus, oh no, it was all about swishy skirts, full of twirls and joy, which the ballerina style absolutely embodied. And that, my darlings, made me oh so happy.

As for me, my trip to Paris was naturally made by train. Isn't that absolutely the most romantic way to travel? Oh, to watch the landscape go by as I daydream about tutus, all the while wearing a darling pink number! You simply cannot beat a little tutu travelling to watch a tutu performance. Talk about living your best life, am I right, darlings?

Oh, don’t worry! I'll have you all rocking your own pink tutus in no time. I’ll make a promise right here, right now: you all can travel the world and look fabulous while doing it! And that, my darling, is a life well lived.

Until next time, twirl on!

Lots of love, Emma xx
