Hello darlings! Emma here, your resident Tutu Evangelist, bringing you another #TutuTuesday instalment! Today we're whisking back to August 11th, 1992, a truly magical time for all things tutu, and trust me, we're going to have a right hoot!
London Calling!
I'm currently gracing the streets of London, the very epicentre of the dance world, and let me tell you, things are absolutely blooming. It's almost as if everyone knows what I do, and I mean everyone! On my travels, I've spotted these utterly divine outfits, and I do mean divine! It's like everyone's taking style cues straight from the ballet studio. So, if you want to find yourself in the thick of all the exciting action, get yourself to the capital ASAP. Just try not to get caught in one of those epic queues outside The Royal Opera House - apparently there's something going on there tonight!
Tutu Tidbits
For today's #TutuTuesday history dive, let's turn our attention to the tutu of 1992. Picture it, darling, it's a time of glorious excess, an explosion of color and an embracing of all things big, bold and beautiful. And that includes tutus!
Thinking Pink!
Forget those dainty, fluffy wispy tutus. It's all about volume, drama and yes, you guessed it, plenty of pink! Remember, Pink is the new Black. These tutus were bold and statement-making - we're talking layers and layers of tulle, all fluffed up like a cotton candy dream. Don't be afraid to embrace the big and beautiful attitude, darlings!
Fashionably Fun
If we want to be proper fashion-forward, remember the iconic nineties style that's been all the rage, Grunge. The key to nailing this look is a bit of rough-around-the-edges chic. So imagine: a killer pair of Doc Martens paired with a full, bright pink tutu! Honestly, I just imagine a perfect blend of girly and cool - the kind of outfit that can turn heads on any street. We're talking clashing colors, unique fabrics and a sprinkle of attitude. If you're feeling brave, ditch that classic ballet bun and rock some killer braids or messy waves. Who's got time for polished, right?
From Stage to Street
I have to say, these are amazing times for a ballet enthusiast. It seems everyone's suddenly caught up in the excitement of the ballet scene. And don't just take my word for it, everyone from street style icons to major fashion houses is drawing inspiration from the world of dance. It's amazing to see our beloved tutus making an appearance on runways around the globe. The trend started at The Royal Opera House, it's what people in London wear, but has gone global. But don't worry, darlings, this is a trend that's here to stay, and it's going to be huge.
What's on the Menu?
The world of fashion, music, and theatre is bustling tonight. Let me give you a little heads-up. The Royal Ballet is staging a masterpiece, 'Swan Lake', with performances starting at 7.30pm! A timeless ballet and a chance to see the grandest tutus and incredible ballerina talent. The rest of London is having a ball too with The Proms Concert, the most prestigious Classical music festival in the world. It's like one huge musical extravaganza in a sea of amazing fashion. It's a true taste of London! It's going to be an amazing evening of performances, and you know what? You won't catch me missing this for anything! I just adore those majestic tutus they use in Swan Lake!
What do you do with a pink tutu?
So tell me darlings, are you excited to unleash your inner tutu-wearing diva? It's a chance to be confident, fearless and simply sparkle.
