Tutu Tuesday in Maxéville, Grand Est France #tututuesday G'day lovelies! It's Tutu Tuesday and guess what? I'm in France, or more precisely, Maxéville in Grand Est. The fashion scene here is on fire - not surprising, I'm in the heart of Europe! I've been immersing myself in French culture, including the *ballet* scene here. Let's be honest, ballet and tutus are like peanut butter and jelly – a match made in heaven! French Flair As an Australian dancer, I'm loving the *French flair*. Ballet in France has a certain je ne sais quoi. From the grand, romantic tutus of the Paris Opera Ballet to the contemporary style of the Centre National de la Danse, there's a stunning diversity in tutus here. * **Classical Splendour:** The traditional tutus I've seen are incredible. They're voluminous, airy, and so beautifully made. It's no wonder they are synonymous with grace and elegance. The French really know how to make a tutu sing! * **Modern Marvels:** However, what really impressed me were the contemporary tutus – those beautiful and bold statements of modern design. From soft, flowing fabrics to architectural silhouettes, the use of the tutu as a creative expression is inspiring! Tutu Tuesday Treats But back to my #tututuesday mission! In honour of the day, I’ve been taking inspiration from the tutu trends I’ve witnessed in the ballet studios, boutiques, and streets of Maxéville. Here's what I've been sporting this #tututuesday: * A classic tutu in a light pink – it’s so versatile, I can dress it up or down. I've worn it with a chic white shirt and cute heels for a day of exploring Maxéville. And trust me, it's just as cute paired with a casual denim jacket and sneakers for some evening drinks with my new French friends. * A short, sassy tutu with a denim jacket and some combat boots - just a hint of the edgy look for this girl! **French Tutu Inspiration** Every corner in Maxéville has been an inspiring burst of colour and creativity. I’ve snapped some seriously fabulous shots – some of them you’ll be seeing on my socials! The whole vibe in Maxéville is one of artistic expression. I love it. It’s a great spot for any budding ballerina – and honestly, anyone who wants to find inspiration for a wardrobe revamp.
