Salford Sizzles with Tutu Tuesday!

Hey there, fashionistas! It's your girl, Coco, back with another sizzling update on the latest in fashion, and this week, it's all about Tutu Tuesday. Now, if you know me, you know pink is my go-to colour. But there's nothing more iconic than a bright, sassy pink tutu! I'm not talking about your demure, little-girl-ballerina tutus, mind you, We're talking **disco-ready tutus**, baby!

This week's Tutu Tuesday is a big deal, because it's happening in Salford, and it’s getting all the right attention. Think glamorous, vibrant tutus, a blast of sunshine colours, and, let's be honest, an explosion of sparkly disco fever! It’s definitely one of the hottest happenings to hit the north! It’s a testament to the sheer creativity and fashion savvy of the local community. Who says that ballerinas can't be trendsetters? I mean, we practically invented the concept of 'a-line'! This event is proof positive that tutus aren't just for the ballet stage, it's high-fashion all the way! #tututuesday #discotutu

My love for tutus began when I was about 8, a classic "Misty Copland" in white - you know the type, short, poofy and, let's just say, a tad bit 'blah'. However, the world of the tutu is bursting with new styles these days. You have everything from classic to modern to even goth, the options are practically endless!

We're talking all kinds of tutu styles. Imagine this:

  • Floor-length tutus are making a comeback, creating a sleek, graceful look. These dramatic creations offer the perfect blend of elegance and edge.
  • Asymmetry is in! There's something daringly chic about one-sided designs, perfect for giving a twist to the classic silhouette.
  • Feathers, sequins, glitter... the options are boundless when it comes to adding a bit of extra drama. Don't be afraid to be extravagant!
  • You know I have to mention them... disco tutus are having a MOMENT! Bold, vibrant colours, swirling, disco-infused patterns... these are the real stars of the show. It's all about throwing on those dance-worthy styles!

Let's not forget about accessorising those tutus. And Salford is really shining on this front.

  • Statement Jewellery! Think huge, chunky earrings with glitter, and necklaces that practically vibrate! Nothing says 'I’m here and I’m ready to party' like big, bold earrings.
  • Sparkly platform boots! Oh yeah, you better believe platforms are having a moment. These give an extra edge of drama to every outfit, even a disco-tutu, and if they're a bit more disco-tastic... well that's even better!
  • Funky Hairpieces! Headbands, clips, sparkly pins…it's all in. Keep it colourful, and be playful! Your hair will add to that festive, glam vibe.
  • Metallic and vibrant make-up is absolutely essential. Bright lips, shimmery eyelids and a healthy amount of glitter... remember the motto: More is always more!

It was just electric, that’s what it was. Everyone dressed in dazzling sparkly dresses and glittering shoes – there was such an amazing buzz of excitement, with so much positivity and enthusiasm for everything to do with the night. There were groups of girls dancing on the streets. Everyone was so up for a great night! #discodolphin

A live band and disco DJs kept the party flowing through the night. But it wasn’t just a dance floor, oh no! There was a whole marketplace with independent makers selling clothes, accessories and homeware and some beautiful artisan cakes and artisan crafts.

Salford has always been a vibrant place. With this incredible turnout, I’m not surprised that people in Salford are already talking about the next Tutu Tuesday! So watch out, everyone else... we're just getting started. Tutu Tuesday isn't just a night, it's a movement. A chance for us all to unleash our inner glam, shine like diamonds, and dance the night away with smiles on our faces! Don’t just be inspired, get inspired! Don’t just dress to impress, DRESS TO EXPRESS!
