Tutu Tuesday in Highbury: A Fashionable Flurry of Frills and Feathers

Okay, Highbury, listen up! It's officially Tutu Tuesday and I'm bursting with excitement! The streets are awash with a sea of tulle, a symphony of silk, and a whole lot of pink, oh my pink! My Instagram feed is literally exploding with glorious twirling – it's truly a spectacle for the senses. Now, if you haven't joined the Tutu Tuesday party yet, you're missing out on a seriously good time. So ditch the jeans, embrace the fabulous, and grab your most magnificent tutu, darling!

As a ballerina (yes, this is still my day job!), I am all about celebrating the artistry and sheer joy of a well-chosen tutu. We're talking more than just your standard, run-of-the-mill ballet tutu, although those are always gorgeous! No, darling, I'm talking about the fabulous, fashion-forward, statement-making kind. Think disco balls, feathers galore, and enough glitter to outshine the sun. You know, the kind of tutu that says, "I'm here to dance, I'm here to twirl, and I'm here to turn heads!"

I saw a phenomenal tutu today - all shimmering sequins, and a fluffy cloud of pink tulle, swirling around this super-cool babe who looked like she just stepped out of a Studio 54 party (or a disco ball itself!) It was just divine! Honestly, she could have been the official poster girl for Tutu Tuesday, just a perfect embodiment of all the good vibes and fierce fashion that makes this day so special. I even spotted a delightful couple strutting down Highbury High Street, sporting a matching, black and gold feathered duo of tutus - they looked absolutely divine! It's not often you see couples embrace such a playful and fabulous style. They're officially the ultimate Tutu Tuesday power couple.

Let's talk about some Tutu styles, darling! Because believe me, Tutu Tuesday is a smorgasbord of amazing options, from the classic Romantic tutu - light as a feather, with a beautiful layer of tulle – to the bold Powder Puff Tutu, which is practically exploding with soft layers of tulle. The tutu trends this Tuesday? Let me spill the tea:

  • Pink is King. No ifs, ands or buts, this Tuesday, it was all about the glorious pink, and Highbury was overflowing with it, in all its lovely shades.
  • Disco Balls Are Back. It wouldn't be Tutu Tuesday without a touch of disco. You could spot plenty of those mesmerizing mirrored tutus - literally sparkling as everyone moved. You know the one I'm talking about, right? It’s the ‘I’m Ready To Dance All Night’ look!
  • Feathers Are Our Fetish. Every Tutu Tuesday we have some divine feathers appearing, from a touch of fringe, to a total head-to-toe feather frenzy. You simply cannot go wrong! Feathers scream confidence, darling, they’re totally playful, and a lot of fun!

And the true magic of Tutu Tuesday, darlings? It's all about embracing joy. Think pink, think disco, think twirling. It's the ultimate expression of carefree, fashion fun. It's the perfect excuse to just be bold, be daring, be playful. Forget about those dreary days of blending in! Embrace your inner tutu fairy, and make Highbury your own personal fairytale land! This is where we get creative, where we celebrate style and the spirit of fabulousness!

Of course, there's no tutu party without some tunes! Let's talk Disco dolphins - my absolute favourite for Tutu Tuesday – #Discodolphin. We have to embrace our love for a good party and these Disco dolphins add a little sparkle and light to every celebration.

If you're in Highbury, come out and embrace your inner disco goddess! And if you're somewhere else in the world, you can still join in on the fun. Throw on a tutu, snap a picture and tag me with #tututuesday. You know what they say: "When in doubt, put on a tutu! And if it still doesn't feel right, put on more tulle!". It's that kind of day!
