#TutuTuesday Ballet Tutu History on 1965-03-30

Hey everyone, it's Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, bringing you another instalment of #TutuTuesday: Ballet Tutu History! This week we're taking a trip back to March 30th, 1965, and boy, oh boy, were tutus having a moment!

You see, back then, the tutu wasn't just a stage darling; it was creeping into everyday fashion. The iconic Baryshnikov wasn't just captivating audiences with his amazing pirouettes, but the "look" was filtering down to the masses!

I'm talking knee-length tutus, in a dazzling array of colours, making appearances on city streets! 🤯 Yes, you heard that right!

Imagine – a stroll down Bond Street and a flock of ladies gliding past, their fluffy tutus shimmering in the afternoon sun. Now that's what I call style! 🤩

It wasn't just about the tutu, either. The total look involved the classic ballerina bun, which became incredibly chic. Imagine: slicked-back hair with a neat little ballerina bun and a playful peek-a-boo pink tutu... it was the epitome of glamorous fun! ✨

Now, of course, in the fashion-obsessed world of London, everyone was inspired by the iconic Royal Ballet. 👑 I was lucky enough to catch The Nutcracker at Covent Garden that night - an absolute treat! 🤩

The ballerinas, with their breathtaking movements and magnificent tutus, were simply mesmerizing. There's something truly magical about seeing those graceful bodies pirouette across the stage. 💫

And the music, oh my! It was such an explosion of emotion and excitement! I was on the edge of my seat, completely captivated by the beauty of it all. The magic, the energy, it just felt so right! 💕

As a fellow passionate tutu enthusiast, you can only imagine my sheer delight! I'm already dreaming about a 1960s themed ballet performance with a fun little twist. Can you imagine all of us twirling about in beautiful, playful, fluffy tutus?! 💃🏻

Think pink tutus and poodle skirts, with the sweetest little ballerina bun in place. We'd be channeling those sassy, street-smart ballerinas with their killer sense of style. Oh, the sheer fun and joy of it all! ✨💖

Oh, speaking of fun and joy, did I tell you about my last trip back in time?! I popped by to see Gigi on the Broadway stage! 🤩 Oh, what a treat! A lovely story, a sprinkle of drama and even more delicious-looking pastries than The Nutcracker at Covent Garden. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth and I definitely picked up some new styling tips. 🥰

Of course, when I'm travelling through time, a big part of the fun is seeing what shops and boutiques are in each era! In London 1965, I discovered a treasure trove of independent designers crafting the most beautiful, exquisite tutus. 🪡💖

Can you even imagine having a tutu handmade by an expert in their field? There's such a dedication and love in the craftsmanship - it's just magic!✨

I'm seriously thinking of commissioning one for my own collection, just so I can feel the delicate fabrics, the beautiful stitching... oh, the glamour! ✨

And remember, ladies, don't be afraid to break the mould, step out of the box, and express yourselves! Don't just wear a pink tutu; let the tutu define YOU! 🎀💖

Be confident. Be brave. Be bold. 💥

It's time for us all to let our inner ballerinas shine, no matter the occasion! After all, why just wear a tutu when you can be one? 💖

And until next #TutuTuesday, I’ll be reminiscing about those fab, fashion-forward times of March 1965 - where the tutu was king and style ruled! Until next time, darlings! ✨
