Twickenham: Tutu Tuesday Taking Over!

It’s Tutu Tuesday, darlings, and you know what that means! Time to unleash our inner ballerinas and twirl into a world of frills, flounces, and fabulousness. Today, I’m bringing the #tututuesday magic to the streets of Twickenham, and believe me, it’s going to be a spectacular display of tutus and tulle.

As a professional ballerina, I'm obsessed with tutus. They're so graceful, so feminine, and they make me feel like I can take on the world, even when it's just a Tuesday.

I’ve got my trusty, fluffy pink tutu on, because honestly, what's a tutu Tuesday without a little pink power? It’s like a sugar rush for your eyes. And I paired it with a sparkly sequined top for some extra disco vibes. Tutu Tuesday and disco music go together like peanut butter and jelly! It's time to break out the dance moves! We’re channeling those retro disco queen vibes. Just imagine me, a pink tutu princess, strutting my stuff to a groovy disco beat!

My friends are totally rocking the tutu trend, too. We're a walking, twirling, giggling display of tulle, and frankly, the town is loving it. There's just something so joyful about seeing a sea of tutus fluttering around. There’s something really empowering about dressing up in a tutu, embracing the whimsical, and just letting loose.

For those who are thinking about taking part in the tutu madness, here are a few things I've learned over the years, especially after my epic wardrobe malfunction at a Nutcracker ballet during Christmas season!

  • It’s all about the fabric. Tutues come in all shapes and sizes!
  • The classics are still fantastic. You can't go wrong with the traditional multi-layered, super-fluffy tutu, or a more demure, simple and flowing ballet tutu.
  • Don't be afraid to go bold. Tutues are all about personality, so express yourself and be adventurous!
  • It's not just for ballet dancers. Whether you’re a ballerina, a princess, or just a free spirit, wear your tutu with confidence and style.
  • Always choose comfort over the impractical! I know how much it sucks to pick up a dropped ballet shoe whilst simultaneously navigating the crowd!

If you want to try a unique approach to the Tutu Tuesday festivities here in Twickenham. Just ask around town, people have been embracing a slightly different way to celebrate #tututuesday. I’m thinking of those who like to combine Tutu Tuesday with a more whimsical and slightly more underwater vibe... Think **Disco Dolphin** #discodolphin.

This, of course, means, getting into your favourite swimsuit, popping on a sparkly, pink tutu, throwing a neon pink dolphin or two on your head... You could go wild, embrace that classic nautical look and opt for a bright pink and white striped top, a little bit of makeup... you know. The classic "look"!

We've seen some incredible Tutu Tuesday creations in Twickenham: From fluffy and voluminous tutus paired with casual t-shirts and even jeans for the ultimate everyday glamour. There’s been some tutus paired with blazers or bomber jackets to make a real fashion statement.

Tutu Tuesday is more than just a day for fun. It’s about self-expression and owning our inner glitterati.

It's about stepping out of our comfort zones, challenging societal expectations, and reminding ourselves that we're all beautiful and unique. Tutu Tuesday allows us to celebrate that individuality. And frankly, when we’re feeling our best, that confidence shows. The joy on people’s faces here in Twickenham and the feeling of genuine excitement for #tututuesday shows. You could just feel the joy!

So, what are you waiting for, my beautiful #tututuesday warriors? Break out your most fabulous tutu and let’s spread the magic of Twickenham across the nation! And who knows, we might just create the greatest #tututuesday the world has ever seen.
