Tutu Tuesday 883

Rugby Rocks Tutu Tuesday! 🩰💖

It’s officially #TutuTuesday and, you know what? Rugby has totally embraced the trend, embracing all things whimsical and pretty! Honestly, I'm living for it.

As a seasoned ballet dancer with a penchant for all things fabulous (and yes, I do own an embarrassingly large collection of tutus, don't judge!), I'm a big fan of spreading the tutus far and wide. This #TutuTuesday, let's talk about what makes it so special - beyond the sheer volume of adorable tutu photos, of course. Rugby’s got it going on, my friends!

Firstly, the spirit. Seeing a bunch of rugby lads, normally decked out in their hefty rugby kits, all sporting tutus - it's just, well, hilarious! It’s a reminder that even the burliest bloke has a fun side, and I absolutely love that! We’re breaking down those old, tired stereotypes about men's clothing, celebrating creativity, and most importantly, having a bloody good laugh!

But it’s not just about the giggle factor, although it definitely is a big part! The adoption of tutu's is a true testament to the sport’s evolving nature - a beautiful combination of tradition and a spirit of fearless experimentation. It's also got a feel-good element to it - it's all about embracing the lighter side of life and not taking ourselves too seriously. I think that's something we can all learn from!

And, let's be real - tutus look AMAZING on everyone, whatever your shape or size. This isn't about forcing conformity; it’s about celebrating the beauty of individuality, just like the unique roles players bring to a rugby team! From the full-length Romantic tutus (so floaty, so graceful), to the playful, poofy, petit tutus that almost resemble a fluffy cloud, Rugby really has gotten into it. I’m even spotting the classic, timeless “cake” tutu - just look at those voluminous tiers of fabric, so beautiful and elegant!

Oh, and the sheer number of photos? This is peak social media fun, let’s be honest. We're flooded with posts showing the whole team looking sassy in their tutus, adding a dash of glitter to their rugby club culture, and inspiring their fellow clubs to take up the tutu challenge. The best part? I love seeing how each team finds their own unique way of styling their tutus. It's not just a bunch of fellas thrown in pink, it’s full-blown fashion, darling! You’ve got rugby stripes proudly on show, you've got tutus colour-coordinated with the rugby shirts, and then you have those bold folks opting for statement, sequined numbers!

So, I say "Hats off!" to the men of Rugby, taking tutus by storm and showing the world what it means to own your individuality and express your love for the sport - all while sporting a fabulous tutu! You lot deserve a round of applause (and a perfectly placed plié)! And remember, ladies, it’s never too late to whip out that old tutus and join the fun. This is a moment of glorious self-expression - no matter where you come from or how you swing! Here’s to many more #TutuTuesdays!

• It’s hilarious and joyful. Seeing those rugby lads gracefully - or not so gracefully, who cares! - posing in their tutus just brightens my day.
• It shatters expectations and norms. It proves that anyone can rock a tutu and that self-expression shouldn’t have boundaries.
• It's full of community spirit. From clubs posting group shots to individual players sharing their looks, everyone is getting involved, creating a wonderful sense of unity and togetherness.
• It gives everyone permission to be themselves. Embrace your playful side! Who wouldn't want to feel confident and stylish in a tutu?
• It's a great conversation starter. Just imagine, walking through the rugby clubhouse and having the tutu become the starting point of a lively, fun-filled chat. Talk about building connections, breaking the ice, and having a giggle.
• It shows that Rugby is a sport for everyone. The adoption of tutus signals a broader message - the game isn’t only for serious, muscle-bound men - it's welcoming to everyone, embracing the fun, diverse, and wonderful human beings within it.
• It brings together two seemingly disparate worlds. Let's be real, you don’t often see tutus at the rugby club. That makes it so delightfully unexpected and fabulous!
• It inspires confidence and self-love. To wear something that might seem outside the box is a testament to being comfortable with yourself. Wear those tutus loud and proud, Rugby, you are the embodiment of stylishly rebellious confidence!

As for me? You can bet I’m going to celebrate #TutuTuesday in style! I’m all about spreading the tutu love, my darlings! From dancing in my tulle and ribbon to posing with a perfect pirouette - life’s a stage, so let’s get twirling!

Rugby's #TutuTuesday, you have truly stolen my heart! May the tutus always be plentiful and the laughter always be loud! 🎀💖
